Quite a few complaints have been posted on this board about SGE...so I figured it would be fair enough to ask, what would you have changed in SGe to make it a good attraction in your eyes?
First off, I will start by saying I completely enjoy the ride, went on it several times, and would happily do so again. I made a point of making SGE be the final thing I did at WDW before my flight home.
But it did have some holes in it, some things I would change, but overall I liked it. If you feel that WDI messed up, what would you have done better?
If it were up to me:
1) Change the ending. It's too short. We don't see enough of Stitch at MK, and the way they release the recruits is kind of anti-climactic. "They can't help us anymore" "Release the recruits"...okay...but...how about saying...."Be on the lookout" or something to make us feel involved. After all the Florida audience was made to be involved in the storyline by having Stitch land in florida, least they can do is give us a sense of a continuation beyond the ride.
2) Change the line about forgetting emergency power, that's kind of a stretch.
3) A little better dialog in the middle where stitch is hiding, it drags for a few minutes before the action pics up again when the cannons fire into the center of the teleportation pod.
4) Chili dog smell...gotcha...wouldn't change a thing. Keep it!
5) Extend the storyline a bit. Connect it with the movie in some way. But DO NOT make him refer to himself as "626" versus Stitch. Keep him as "Stitch". It's better for marketing and better for a broader audience that he remain stitch, which he is known better as. Keep him landing in Florida....that's not a continuity error, folks. It's called, involving the florida audience, almost a necessity. This doesn't work as well with him landing in Hawaii. Why? Still messes up the storyline...he got to Hawaii via the red one...not via teleportation. And, I betcha ten bucks, that if they changed it to him landing in Hawaii, someone would complain about the "red one" continuity error just as much as they complain about the "Florida" landing.
6. Extend the clips of him at MK. We only see him for all of 10 seconds on the astro orbiter. Have him creating other havoc! Use the shirt as an example. Show him on dumbo, on country bear jamboree, and others. Expand it, make it a little more fun.
Those are the ways that I, personally, see that SGE could be improved. Wouldn't change anything else.
