It's hard to say what KD will do with this ride or if it's in the long term plans for Jungle X-Pedition. I'd really love to see Six Flags/Cedar Fair attempt a well themed half indoor/alien ride. When you look at the land that FOF's building sits on and then follow along the permitter of Project 305, there is a lot of space to work with. Given the popularity of Verbolten something like this could work. If they were to keep FoF's existing building and expanded the length of it; a ride such as this would literally dwarf Verbolten's show building. KD would have a lot more height and size to work with for a thrilling alien experience.
If I'm correct, Verbolten and DarKoaster's show building are the same size; right? 6,000 square feet. If Six Flags/Cedar Fair could renovate the existing show building/indoor queue area and possibly expand on that structure how much square feet are would we have to work with?

Maybe I'm confused but... You're proposing expanding a ride building old enough to vote based on a degraded experience from a completely different ride experience in a competitor's park with a completely different theme to add some kind of experience that neither the queue nor the ride layout would run through? And to top it off, to properly see and experience whatever alien encounter while on ride would potentially degrade the existing experience? And there's not a lot of ROI potential to do it, so financially it's not a wise investment?
What's the objective here, 'my building is way bigger!'?

Hopefully some of the old queue audio will return next year.
Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing any Fun TVs running in the park at all. (Although with the short lines, I was not exactly paying any attention.)

The only Fun TV's I can think of off the top of my head is Pantherian, Twisted Timbers and I think Dominator. And the one for Twisted Timbers has been broken for some time now.
There’s one at Grizzly and I wanna say they still have the one at the log flume. I know there also used to be one at Boo Blasters too but I can’t recall if they still have it or not.
Interesting… I remember the FunTVs disappearing at Shockwave shortly before that ride closed. It could be entirely incidental, but I’d say there’s a nonzero chance it’s an indicator of a retheme.
That'd be something - but if that's truly the case, I can imagine the budget wouldn't be enough to be drastically different than the 'secret government alien facility' theming we see. Plus wouldn't we see some permits for demolition and/or construction to replace the spaceship?
Or is it jungle aliens?
The original station audio came back this year, so I'd love to just see them clean up the UFO area and bring back the original effects like KI's version. I wouldn't mind seeing the park getting rid of the maze space for more queue or an extra show scene in the building either. Something like a Loch Ness style retheme would be amazing!
It’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
In an interesting development, the satellite tower prop has been removed from in front of FOF’s entrance.
Once again pointing to JUNGLE ALIENS IN TEMPLE OOOHHH VERY SPOOKY
