last i rode it, all the scenery was gone or faded to the point there's nothing to really look at. you just float along, uncomfortably close to whoever's in the boat with you for most of the ride

especially with the shiny new thing being added in that area, AP's age is really going to show. i could certainly see it being redone in the same fashion as the past couple rides, reviving a classic into something fresh but familiar

They just got done extended the tunnel and have recently rebuilt the entire lift.  It's not going anywhere

speaking of AP, are there any expected upgrades to the ride, like new theming? since they extended the already long tunnel, there cant just be a pitch black tunnel for 2 minutes.

I have a feeling the tunnel is going to be just as basic as before, with a few lamps along it so it isn't pitch black all the way through. I think they'll add back a bit of theming when the area is done, but I'm not expecting much. Probably some signage. If we're really lucky they'll bring back an animatronic, but I'm not holding my breath.
