Pokémon will add a haunted house (Gastly's Ghost Home), and an octopus attraction (The Swinging Octillery).
Pokémon Battle Coaster update:
They're redoing it because, the two trains went backwards. For example, when testing began, Blastoise's side went backwards on the first loop, and Charizard's side went backwards on its first Immelmann loop. So Blastoise's side has began redoing today, and the first element is a loop. Next came a Zero-G-Roll, a 1080 degree helix and then a brake run. Then it drops and goes through an Immelmann loop and a corkscrew. Then it finishes with one last drop. The Charizard side will be redone shortly.
A construction crew is in the future site of Journey to Mt. Krustyland, probably to begin construction. Some sand is found there now.
