New Haunted Mansion Effects

[MantaDrone]

I just saw a video of Tokyo's version of the Haunted Mansion, and I was noticed that the ghosts in the graveyard seem to have more movement and action than the ones in the FL and CA versions (especially the ghost band).

If you're interested, here's the video (It starts around 5:58): Haunted Mansion Tokyo

Anyway, aside from the recent add-ons like the floating Leota head and the new bride, I was wondering what other new effects could really be good for the ride. Here's a list of effects that I thought of:

-Ghost Band: Make them have more motion when playing the instruments (like the ones in the Tokyo Version)

-Hatbox Ghost: Probably be easy to get the effect right since we now have better technology.

-Headless Knight: Make an effect where he lightly tosses his head up and down (kind of like the first pop-up ghost from the attic)

-Moving Lips: This would probably be pretty hard since they'd have to recreate the heads of every ghost that sings and make the lip-sych perfect.

-Howling Dog: Give the dog more movement when it's howling.

If anyone else has any ideas for new effects, post them here.

Tokyo's graveyard did have motion in its graveyard but it didn't strike me as any more animated than the other versions. Other than the ghosts that jump up in your face with a shrill shriek that was considered 'too scary' for Disneyland and removed a while ago.
