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

[Agent H]

I still say Stitch should move over to Buzz's spot for the shooting dark ride. It'd be perfect to have him flipping and running around the sets while you try to tag him or something with the lazers

Or you try to catch the other 626 experiments and lilo and stitch participate in a final battle with Leroy gantu and hamsterviel. Scatter the other good guys throughout the ride and there you go.

Now that Disney owns the rights to Alien how about *gasp* retrofit the building to be the based on the original alien encounter concept with the xenomorph. The franchise is still super popular and so many generations have grown up with those original films. They can even tone it down and base it on the more action heavy James Cameron ALIENS.

Despite numerous warnings, it was too scary, especially for MK, a park in which *surely* there would be nothing to makes kids scream the bloody heads off in a hyperventilating panic strapped into a chair they can't get out of or be unable to be in contact with their parents in the pitch dark.

After all, SGE was too scary.

And when SGE closed down, MK's GSAT went *up*.

Disney should license that attraction to Universal. Swap it for Marvel.

You cannot get away with Alien, as in The Alien, in Magic Kingdom.

You can do it in DHS where the vibes there are more edgy on virtue of Tower of Terror, but MK is not the right park at all for an attraction for that IP even if the set up is there for it.

In real life the same families that go to magic kingdom go to DHS

No family of four is going to go “oh we don’t take our kids to da studio that’s where the adult rides are”

I was like 8 years old when I rode great movie ride for the first time and while parts like the ALIEN scene were a little scary I loved it and it was only a year or two later when I went to Alien encounter and rode Jurassic park the ride at universal Hollywood and that was the 90s. Kids today are way more desensitized thanks to the crap they are exposed to on the internet

If they can throw hard R films like Alien Romulus, Predator, Logan, and Deadpool up on Disney + they can have ALIEN in Magic Kingdom. Hell it was originally designed for Disneylands Tomorrowland anyway. Disneyland as in the sweet all American park that Walt Disney himself built and experienced. It’s fine.

They could do something with Elio in this space. I have to think about it for a while, but I'll come up with something.

I thought the same when Villains were a possibility there... and they blew it with cornball spectacle. Not even versions true to their character, but parodies of them. off-model caricatures. Cruella about as villainous as my Aunt Tammy. And Hook more scared than scary. God, I can't wait to see how bad their going to futz Villains land.

What are we talking about? oh yeah, Alien. Yeah the only alien I expect for MK is Stitch. Though if I had my druthers, he'd be but one of many aliens present in a reworking of Laugh Floor, themed to an Outer-space Improv Show. But whatever. Stitch for MK doable. Xenomorph for MK, dontable. Though your mention of Tower of Terror is intriguing. Hmm?

 

[V_L_Raptor]

I honestly just think Stitch is deserving of more than a show. There's a lot that could be done with Stitch in ride form that I feel has been really unexplored.

Maybe not with Stitch, but WDI’s “help us find” plot rut is dug pretty deep. I don’t see how they would do much more than phone in another.

I saw Tomorrowland in theaters and plan to do the same for Fantastic Four.

Now the film going public is to blame for TWDC’s failure to do anything worthwhile with Tomorrowland?

Tomorrowland was a fun film...I don't think it was great, but that was more about the writing...the idea was great and it looked beautiful. If that had been successful they could have spun the entire land into something fantastic...
At this point I would settle for spinning the land into something more cohesive....

What's the expected ROI on cohesiveness?

- raises hand - Actually... I probably take my kids to HS every third trip. There's just not a lot there for two elementary school aged girls. Star Wars is too scary for the youngest (though the oldest likes it). They've aged out of Animation Courtyard, sadly my kids barely remember Doc McStuffins who they loved as toddlers. ToT and Rockin too scary/one kid is too small. Toy Story Mania has broken down on us too many times, no one wants to puke to Swirling Saucers. So that leaves us with Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog and some shows. It's not worth it.

I do wonder if the reaction to Xtraterrorestrial Encounter hovers over the design team for Villains.

 

[larryz]

Odd. When Chapek took over, it was well documented by journalists how they had a falling out and Chapek did his own thing and when Iger came back, undid everything Chapek did.

That's a ventriloquism act?

Along the lines of Walter and Jeff, yes...

A more engaging land usually makes for a better experience even if you might not understand why... It is part of the intangibles of good design.....it just feels better.....rather than a Six Flags approach to almost anything wherever it fits....

XE was scary, and the marketing for it was as well.

There's zero chance Villains will be actually scary. It will just take place in a damp, medieval world.

Add me to that list... DHS is going to be a skip for me on 3 (possibly 4) trips I have already done or have planned because there just isn't very much young kid friendly content.

And HS is a can't miss for me personally with most of my favorite attractions being held at this park. It is probably my favorite park, with EPCOT being second.

Guessing you don't have a 2 year old? I love DHS, but I can't justify the price with a 37" 2 year old that can't sit through long shows.

You and me both, we skip DHS and typically do a second MK or pool day
