Really, multiple holiday overlays could be beneficial to KI as a passholder park the same way Haunted Mansion Holiday draws big local crowds to Disneyland. Especially with the state of the chain and the canceling of seasonal events. Would be a great way to drive attendance with something “new.” Whether or not that attendance would affect revenue is another story.
Would be cool to see!
I thought I heard somewhere that the original intent was to have it change for the holidays which would’ve made sense considering they kept the ride open for WF.
To be honest, after 8 years of it existing, it’s shocking that they never had any holiday scenes rendered, or even new scenes in general.
I really enjoy having the lantern during Haunt, but I could understand how it could also be nice to have a magic band-style item that you don't need a locker for. The only thing I think the parks would need to do more of is adding interactive elements during the main season (could change between festivals) and make them usable in the water parks (like the now-dead TapuTapu system, but for passes and such).
Considering it was built as a show venue for large-scale productions (including ice skating shows) I've wondered how Festhaus eventually became a noisy food court where some still very good shows are met with indifference by what feels likes 80% of the guests who are there mostly for chicken tenders, Panda Express, and air-conditioning.
