They just played the sound effect but nothing happened in this room. Not sure if a new effect has yet to be installed or if it's something that was added and hasn't been working.

Originally Posted By Joe Carioca You know what, there has been new enhancements to Mr. Toad. When you crash through the wall, the lights strobe different colors instead of just white.

Originally Posted By dresswhites it is interesting, but good that they are enhancing attractions, even the smaller ones. that is a good sign.
Originally Posted By Kayoss Frankly, I'm surprised that more people aren't talking about these upgrades. As far as dark ride updates, they're pretty significant. From my recent visit, there was a WHOLE LOT of love poured into the revamped Alice. It's really quite amazing. First off, everything's been freshly painted and touched up. Everything's brighter, sharper, weirder. First off are TWO (2!) brand new fully animated Cheshire Cat heads done with the same kinda high definition projector stuff that's used all over the Hunny Hunt attraction in Tokyo. This is much smaller scale, but still very vibrant and beautifully integrated. The smoking caterpillar now breathes out working 'smoke' and has it form in full-color full-motion high definition animated letters. It's absolutely awesome, and is the best this effect has ever looked. Did I mention that every single flower AA is working, mouths all synced to the Golden Afternoon? This is the first time I've seen it working it over 10 years. As everyone has mentioned, there is a brand new (again, fully animated) hedgehog-as-a-bouncy-ball sequence, but they still haven't lit that new scrim they obviously installed. I'm guessing it will be lit up to match the vista of the Queen of Heart's castle and her Red Rose garden (which is the next scene.) Anyone know about what they're testing on those new scrims? And finally, the trippy descent to the "Merry Unbirthday" now also has an upgraded projection: a brand new, fully animated "cloud circle thing" , surrounding the Cheshire Cat's laughing (and rocking) disembodied head. Nice Disney!!! These are the wonderful details I remember in Disney parks. I hope they keep it uP!! <<One more change I noticed.
