Rumor Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

[orky8]

@marni1971 - "It has legs."
@Magic Feather - "...this ride will be sweet!"
Ok, you guys have me taking every word literally.
It's obviously the Mad Adventures of the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!

Or Sugar Rush... (eta with a little bit of Hero's Duty bugs -- lots of legs)

Based on the reference to HB 641, seems like Wreck it Ralph, though I don't see how that statute would be applicable here.

This IP is definitely one that has the ability to fit in TL, but it seems that this will be a bit stretched to fit, even if it uses the most ride like part of the IP.

Big Hero Six?

Stitch the character is better than Ralph, but the planned WIR attraction is better than SGE. None are a good fit for Tomorrowland.

I was waiting to get through the whole thread before typing this. Speedway is such a HUGE WASTE OF SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is. It could be better utilized. Build over top of it. Part of the track can be in essence inside then construct an attraction on what would be the "2nd floor".

Any details you can provide on the story or the ride type?

I completely forgot there are two theaters for sge, do both currently get used?

Think Despicable Me

Yes, two theaters are used, and will be used

I don't have the mass network as many people on this site... But the birdies I listen to make me wonder how "Flordia HB 641" impacts this IP.

Isn't that the one about redemptive credits from amusement games? Who's running an arcade in an attraction?

Oh.

Oh.

I still don't see what that has to do with this.

Thanks for the info, do you have any idea when we might see some official word?

 

[V_L_Raptor]

I still don't see what that has to do with this.

It's also got some stuff about licensing amusement machines overall, I think.

If the attraction is just a movie with some arcade game references, that's one thing. If, however, it's an interactive attraction...

I'd hope it would be more motion simulator and less straightforward 4D show. If it is indeed based on WIR, it would make more sense for the setting (in TL) to be based on Hero's Duty or a new/different sci-fi "game" as opposed to Sugar Rush but it sounds like they might be using that game as the setting.

So is this based on that speederbike "group race" VR thing Tony Baxter was talking about a couple of years ago?

We need to keep in mind that (to my knowledge) this project has not been green lit HOWEVER, WDI is already putting significant resources into this project and I would say is well on track to be green lit. This should be a relatively quick turnaround. Around 1.5 years max (presuming no delays). I'd say expect an announcement about a month after approval and a stitch shut Down in 3 months with a reopen in a year ish, probably to be completed between 2018 and 2021

More 2018, less 2021. Sunglasses @marni1971?

 

[britain]

Any sufficiently unique game system I think could justify being in Tomorrowland simply by virtue of being "electronic gaming that will be used in the future".

Heck, the game could be something in the old west, but if it's advanced VR, it could fit in Tomorrowland. So I wouldn't care if it's sugar rush.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

Interesting that they would want this done earlier rather than later. I'd think they would want a new attraction for the 50th in 2021. What would be great is if we finally get an expansion done by then somewhere in the park.

 

[britain]

(Of course, if it's so advanced that you can't tell it's VR, then I suppose the theme of the game itself would matter. But technologically speaking we are not there yet.)

Interactive attractions like Space Ranger Spin and Midway Mania do not come under the auspices of this bill. There is no prize to be won.

The 50th won't slip by unnoticed.
