Not sure yet, but is seems that part of the old Spookslot is going to stay.
They were demolishing around it. But maybe that was for a safety reason or something.

^ I was hesitant at first too, but I think paired with the soundtrack, it'll feel like the ride system is 'dancing' with the surroundings, and I think that could be something really special. The piece of music sort of lends itself to something like this, at least in my opinion.

Yeah maybe you're right. The theatrical approach of the old attraction with the beautiful classical musicpiece was something I really liked. It almost feels like that is what the biggest change is going to be: a theatrical attraction turned into a ride.

The area in front of what remains of Spookslot has also re-opened. The remaining facade will be used as part of the new themed area surrounding Danse Macabre.
