No that's not new concrete, that's just a wall.

@brenthodge thank you for sharing those links...not sure why I didn't see them, as I follow the page. But, love the updates that they are doing to this ride! 

Looking closely at the "new" concrete path, there does seem to be some sort of temporary fencing set up likely for an extended queue.

I'm still trying to figure out, is this the wall that was right there or is it a new path. Now that it's been a few days since I first noticed it I'm starting to think it's just the wall. It'd be really cool to have a path there again (honestly there should be one for the emergency door IMO).  The confusion really stems from the fact that a) I'd never seen it on the webcam before and b) it didn't look like the wall.
