Why not, gonna post it here too, some subtle changes that for the most part, shouldn't require much work but I think would enhance the ride experience much more:

Loved it. Rode it four times. Everything I wanted it to be. Hopefully we get the Gill Man ride down the line.

I've seen several children absolutely terrified before and after this ride, and heard screaming from all ages while on the ride. While it's not "scary" to me, it's hard to get me scared anywhere... but for the general population, I think it's at the right level.

However, I wish the land itself had some opt in scary areas. I would love an HHN style walk through / scare-zone attraction at Darkmoor. This would also be a cheaper way to alleviate concerns about the land being the smallest and give adults (and brave children) something a bit more intense.

Hearing the 2nd preshow now has a curtain that opens for the Monster to make the reveal more dramatic.

I’ve watched the POV so many times. Cant shake this ride in the best kind of way. The land as a whole.

I went on it four times today, once standby and thrice on single rider. I need to give Ministry more rides, but this ride really truly blew me away as the MVP of the park. My first ride had me jaw-agape for the entire duration with subsequent rides reinforcing the chaotic goodness this brings to the table. The blending of animatronics with screens is flat out awesome, and I didn’t notice much behind the scenes tech peeking into the scenes. I also love how different it feels to ride compared to Forbidden Journey; the ride vehicle’s jolting relative to character actions is just awesome and fun. I can’t wait to go on the ride more this week, and I’m glad I’ve basically seen it in nearly fully operational mode (the last Dracula animatronic didn’t work on any rides today, and the first Wolf Man animatronic wasn’t working on my last ride).

That's great! Before that one could make him out standing awkwardly in the dark if you knew where to look. Pulling back a curtain for that reveal is an awesome improvement.

Can confirm - there is a curtain in preshow and a limb above the Creature.

And it seems they’ve added lily pads around Gilman to hide the mech stuff.

These are all good signs that they're using the pre opening to correct inadequate settings/backgrounds/effects. Maybe they'll even fix the Werewolf ending scene.
