They've been setting up this holiday thing for the past month. In an already construction-filled park, in the "year of a million dead-ends," they had to drain Echo Lake to install decorations, had to put up some screens and other machinery on Sunset, some sacffolding on the tower itself... I mean I just feel sorry for the unknowing guests. Of course, add in the stage and unfinished or simply ugly projection towers in front of the theater, and it's really not good. Oh and Christmas decorations in early October are right up my alley.
I wish I could say the ends justfiy the means, but in my opinion that's not the case here. This holiday season, DHS has four projection shows (two of which are holiday shows) on the theater and tower. They all follow the same bland formula and none embody the theme of the park. It's not just me... most of them are among the lowest-rated nighttime shows on property. Basically, they need a lesson in quality over quantity, but it doesn't look like they've learned that with Sunset Seasons greetings, and that's frusterating.
Of course, this is not nearly the biggest complaint.
See, so maybe you can understand why I dislike holiday overlays. Because they're usually all day, and usually affect the inside of the attraction as well. If I had an AP and visited every two weeks, I might love it, but since I don't go often I just want see the real thing.
