Given all the downtime, I was thinking of a really cool way to revamp the show building. And I know this is really "pie in the sky" as it would take some expense.
So in the entrance tunnel, it stays the same, but as you come through into the building, the small straight away would become inclosed with some effects to be tree like. At the middle of the fist 270 turn, a large tree built floor to ceiling, branches over the entire area. Branches coming all around to the track that makes is look like the tree itself is supporting the track.
As you exit the turn, just a black wall with and opening just big enough for the train envelope to separate the helix. At the middle of the helix a rock pile with about 4-6 wolves. One up on top in a howling pose. As you go around the helix, there's a howl and walls that curve and enclose the helix, with more and more wolf eyes that light up, along with puffs of smoke to simulate the cold breath of wolves.
Another black wall with a hole, this time up onto the MCBR, that's painted very bright blue. Simulating the hope of an opening. As the train goes to continue on, the lights in this space flicker as the 'spirit voice' gives an ominous warning to say out. The dip turn around gets inclosed with bright neon lit trees (in a homage to the original show building design, carrying you into the drop track. In the drop track the spirit face becomes a little more creepy, and take a projector or two from DK, and project onto the walls a look of many spirits coming to get you, where right before the drop a safe and reassuring voice tells you not to worry, you are safe.
Ok, boredom is a powerful thing.
