    And it's strange to hear all the classic sounds of the Matterhorn mechanics along with this new abominable snowman. I'm sure I'll get used to it with time, but it just feels wrong at the moment. It's kind of like when you see your elementary school teacher out in public; you know there's nothing actually wrong with it, but it just doesn't feel right

    Sounds bad.

    I would prefer these new animatronics with the old roar. That old roar is iconic.

    Overall, a great set of improvements.

    I'm excited to hear what it sounds like from the base of the mountain. That echo was epic.
