This and the backstory that is played in the armoury is worth watching too. Plus, it's just a nice building to be in and soak up the atmosphere it helps create for the ride.
I do hope they have the audio back to a decent level and power with the bass in the vault though. Such a simple fix that adds so much to the experience. The vault is supposed to be the grand finale with a grand score to match. The way the composition is written is supposed to be played at high volumes with it's grand, majestic and imposing melodies. It compliments being in the secret vault that has been teased to you the rider, from as soon as you enter the queue. It's like a damp squib going through the ride and all the pre show build ups, to have very quiet audio at the end.
The music levels, narration and loading narration in the vault used to sound excellent, recently not so much. All because it is too quiet for how it is supposed to sound.
The audio in the Octagon was nearly excellent a few years ago, it was very lould, which is perfect and needed to evoke the emotions and convey the atmosphere of the story as it was designed. It was just a little bit too sharp to the ears. The upper mid and high end needed adjusting slightly I think. The high end more than the upper mid range audio. So that it is still very lould and powerful but not as sharp on the ears, so that it isn't as.... painfull? If that is even the right word, as it doesn't hurt so to speak, but it's not far off. That can be fixed without turning it down and keeping the audio very powerful though.
