Oh ok thank you! The way you said "set to follow in nessies footsteps" made me think an existing coaster getting retracked/theming

Apologies on the audio quality, I recorded it with my phone.
I was able to get a short clip of the first track played in the station. It's probably my favorite one, as I've heard them all and i believe it fits the theme the best and has that "Busch Gardens celtic" feel. Some tracks are a little obnoxious.

Nah lol. Just my second favorite out of the 2. Would’ve been 3 if that damn dragon didn’t die.
First off they let my friends ride with rider swap, that was infinitely better it was so smooth and the theming in the tunnel honestly seemed okay to me I don't see what all the complaints are about. The screens didn't seem too bright, it was a little hard to see from the left side but honestly not terrible. I really loved it and they definitely did a much better job this time (sorry for lack of punctuation, was voice typing)
I recorded it while the station was empty and quiet so it's all the speakers
We have a breakdown 
I was about to ride a second time and the sound went out in the station.

As before the renovation? I'm not sure. They played 2 or 3 different ones while I was standing there. I think 2 were the same voice as the new lift hill spiel and 1 was the typical park announcement voice.
One time the sendoff cut off right as we were leaving the station (it was like 11:55pm probably why) and we were all convinced that the ride was going to breakdown mid-loop and send us hurtling to our watery deaths in the Rhine.We have a breakdown

The makeup? I planned it out and did it myself!
Finally got to ride today. My friend and I were just over the moon at the old theming refurbishments. We loved seeing all the old elements return. The new in-queue enhancements were amazing. The sound track was just phenomenal and it was amazing to be able to hear it so well in the cave. I could be crazy, but the placement of the projection felt right. In either seat and front or back we could clearly see the projection. To us, it looked like the projection was getting some type of border but it was hard to tell. We preferred the back of the train as to us the front felt like it still had some jarring in the turnaround over LOTD. I was extremely indecisive over which merch items to get so we visited Tweedside four times today. Ultimately, the decision was assisted by the fact that a few items had sold so well that my size was not available at the end of the day. Lochness, for us, was a couple times a year ride. Now, it will certainly be an every visit ride.
Ultimately, we left extremely satisfied with the investment and commitment in this truly legendary attraction. It left us wanting more from the park with an immediate side eye to Pantheon for increased experience and to Verbolten for a refurbishment and embellishment.

The concrete pad is the footer for the statue.
Got my first ride on it today and the audio on the first life/prelift didn't work lmao. All the other effects worked. The ride was shutdown after our train got back. I'm not sure if it reopened or not, but when we were in line to ride the Germany skyride at ~4:30 Loch Ness was still closed/closed again
