There's actually a good chance it would get painted this year, as Tatsu is in the vicinity of Full Throttle. The park tends to clean up the areas near the newest attractions so it doesn't look like a dump when the media visits.
I love the fact that creating a high tech "ride" in the queue presents a wonderful opportunity for downtime....before you even get to the actual ride.
Eh, TDS' Journey has an elevator "pre-ride" in the queue. It's pretty cool simulating traveling down to the center of the earth...when in reality they're just pushing you up one level.
