Does anyone know if this is still happening?

    I do recall that when they performed LuminAria they had beautiful twinkle lights installed in California Screamin'. I would assume they are still there. They could work during some segments, or as part of the finale.

    (Unless Steve Davison is saving them for a holiday World of Color...)

Like the strobes hidden all over TSI in Fantasmic!, they could have the lights pulse in just about any direction, at any speed, and make just about any effect. While they're just white lights, there's a ton of potential with what they can do.
