Loch Ness Monster retrack

Am I stupid for spending my whole life assuming that was Vincent Price?

For years (decades) I thought it was Thurl Ravenscroft.

Imagining growing up with the name Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft in Norfolk, Nebraska.

Guilty as charged.


Thurl is one of the singing busts however, he’s the broken one that is mistaken for Walt frequently.

I think Thurl is one of the singing tombstones...No?

And here I thought the Haunted Mansion host was X. Atencio. Guess I can still learn something new every day. I generally associate Paul Frees with Boris Badenov.

And then I realize I failed to post the thing I opened the thread to say...

What surprises me about the Loch Ness Monster rehab is that they're apparently using new track that matches the old track, rather than switching over to the simpler design with the roll formed track ties that Arrow used on their last rides. Maybe there are regulatory reasons for doing that, but it's a little surprising as I'm sure the 'classic' track style is more difficult to build.

They are keeping the classic track look!
