That is WILD. My gosh they really need an extra week or two if that's how janky the presentation was for this preview.
Just got off the ride. Show building maybe has SOME work left to do, but we got audio cues and lights. There's some kind of rock soundtrack and Frau Hexel dialogue.
Hopefully they bring back the audio effect that was on the bridge I see no reason why they got rid of it, it’s just an audio loop of the wind, now it’s very quiet
Yeah, can't wait for my ride on Sunday. Not watching any videos until I get home Sunday night.
Okay, I’m simple and easily pleased. I was able to ride twice after dinner tonight and I LOVED it. I tried to be respectful of those in line with me, so here’s a short clip. (“I have no idea where that broom is.”)
I noticed a lot more on my second ride. If you want to experience the show building audio without foreknowledge, here’s your SPOILER ALERT. I won’t get it exactly right but it’s along the lines of “Okay, I’ll help you, but you have to give me five stars.” That made me chuckle.

This renovation seems very similar to what they did with journey to Atlantis at swsd they massively pulsed the line and added a bunch of new on ride effects and props but the new story is underwhelming and disjointed and core issue on the ride (light bleed) completely unfixed. Leaving a improved but underwhelming product

The Das Katzchen Easter egg is elite.
Is there a Glissade Easter egg? Or was Glissade considered part of Rhinefeld.
You're welcome
. That voice was me. We don't have our themed spiels yet. I was sat in the station with a microphone and was told to just speak.
Sorry to double post, but let me be more specific.
We HAVE the themed spiels. They have been recorded. We found out they weren't working prior to the ride opening today and we didn't have time to fix them.
Hopefully the maintenance and tech peeps are working their magic tonight and we'll be able to enjoy Frau's safety disclaimers for her Magical Motor Tours.
While I wish the park would've let the ride's opening be delayed by a week to fix the opening bugs, I'm so happy to hear that the renovation has been a big improvement over the original. I'll be in the park either late June or early July so I'm very excited to ride it.
Tons of details that have been overlooked. I cant wait for a rainy day to really examine everything. The Brum closet has tons of Gerta and Gunter easter eggs, spray bottles, cans, labeled tools etc. Another cool detail is the names in the book under the Frau animatronic is all of the people that helped develop the ride.
Awesome! They are keeping gerta’s clear the track spiel tho right, they used it yesterday
im sure it’s out of your control, but it’s really cool to see team member input on this, but do you know if the wind effect on the bridge being missing was an oversight? Or was it one of the many “tweaks” required to fully have the ride up and going? Or maybe there’s supposed to be an audio cue up there, same with the billboard speaker at the beginning of the ride, both the bridge and the billboard are completely empty, and wasn’t there supposed to be mist as well?
You did a great job!You're welcome
I got in line around 830 during the final shutdown of the night and got off the ride around 920ish.
Not too many changes in the main office apart from the new animatronic and a few new posters on the walls. The posters were a nice touch and I loved the animatronic, but the audio barely worked so you couldn't hear her.
The back office saw the most changes. I love the new broom animatronic and the theming did feel really nice, but it definitely felt incomplete compared to the old office. I don't think they should've gutted the old office but maybe removed the forest display on the left and added the animatronic there.
The station also seemed a bit bare to me. I think they did a good job adding the tool bench on the back wall and the screens where the luggage conveyor belt were a nice touch, but I feel like they could've kept the supply closet and vending machine or had a proper replacement for them.
The added building effects were neat, but the building felt a lot brighter than it used to be. The large tree prop and the animatronic in the drop were very cool indeed. I loved the new physical sets over the cardboard cutouts of the old ride, but parts of the double helix still felt incomplete to me. I hope more stuff is added to the ride in the coming weeks. I don't know if they're doing the different show scenes. It would be nice if they kept the original 3 in place. They could still keep the same "don't turn left" and dialogue but have different effects going off.
I really hope the park can keep most of these physical props maintained as well.
No change on the bridge. I hope the park can finish the roof and bring back the creaking audio at the top.
Overall kudos to the park for looking after their older attractions. It still feels a bit unrefined so I hope the park can continue adding more props and set pieces to the ride to match the original version. Large parts of the ride still feel a bit bare right now.

Yes we're keeping the clear the track spiel.
I don't know all of the new bells and whistles, but we might see the mist effect today since it's opening day, but I'm not sure.
I also believe you're correct about the audio effects for the billboard. I think it's not synced up correctly because SOMETHING had played from the speakers, but it was after the train had already entered the building. Not sure what's going on with bridge. There was no indication they were getting rid of any sounds up there.
Hopefully it’s just the whole syncing issue, the original developers put HQ JBL speakers up there because of the original looped audio, the rest of the ride uses traditional loudspeakers, it just doesn’t make any sense that they would leave it, it being missing means they have to have touched it, could also mean just like the billboard they are going to have some kind of audio play up there to continue the story, anyways love how the whole project ended up and you did a great job voicing the station for hours on end haha
