I am familiar with that ride...but can't for the life of me picture where exactly that is...is it after the second launch going to to the left turn into the broken building?

Scene 1 is right before the right turn into the first launch

Don't have great photos, but just to give a broad update for the ride in general, station work has continued, but it's moving slowly. Same with the queue. The fact that the VW Beetle still hasn't migrated into the building is another red flag re: the status of the reno. Definitely moving slower than originally planned. Right now there appeared to be a fair bit of progress on the launch 1 building facade, but since the Rhine River Cruise isn't operating today, I can't see how much they've done up there.
