They also got rid of all the ivy that was growing all over the Lorry Vehicle!

Hopefully this is a sign of TLC and that The Haunting is in good hands. Would be really sad if they do eventually retheme it, especially considering that the ride will be celebrating it's 30th anniversary next year!
At this point, I think it's became too much of a cult classic and park icon (probably their most iconic non thrill ride) to be rethemed. I think it's secluded enough to be it's own sort of area, something like "Drayton Parish Area" would be good!
The ride does definitely needs work and enhancements, but a retheme isn't the answer personally.
Hope to see more work like this done more frequently in the future!
