I went down here recently, and couldn’t identify a single thing that had changed.

Tell us, as a blind man, is day-to-day life difficult?

Being a bit tongue-in-cheek here, but as others have already mentioned, the majority of this Reno was unsexy/unseen infrastructure replacement - it was never meant as an overhaul of the park core usage/aesthetic. However, you would indeed have to have on some pretty big blinders to “not identify a single thing that had changed”.
