News Stitch Joins Walt Disney World Railroad with New Audio Overlay on Magic Kingdom Route

[MisterPenguin]

At least for those who want to avoid Stitch, they can take the Fantasyland to Main Street direction for a Stichless ride.

 

[WorldExplorer]

Stitch: "Umm... Mr. Conductor - Remember when Stitch had his own ride in 'morrowland?

Conductor: "Why yes, of course, Stitch!"

Stitch: "Do you think Stitch could have it back?"

Conductor: "Ohhh... I don't think so. That's a mighty fine break room they've got over there."

*Stitch spits on conductor, scurries away*

I have such low faith in them that until I got to the word "break room " I thought this was actually the script.

Hasn't Pocahontas been singing along the railroad for decades? The last time I rode it, we definitely heard colors of the wind.

Not in the version used until yesterday (post-TRON opening), but Peter Pan and Tinkerbell were used in the audio track between Frontierland and Fantasyland.

Well clearly I’m the least observant person ! I’ve never really noticed characters on the audio track.

Why would you want a stitchless ride?

It’s also the ride where the locomotive works! Turn off the audio and let’s hear some stack talk!

 

[Ayla]

Talks about all the things you currently see (Astro Orbiter, the Speedway, Tron, etc)

...While not actually seeing any of that.

Another tasteless, tacky, vomit of IP where it absolutely does not belong.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Heaven forbid the narration talks about…. The trains. And ya know… Walt Disney.

But hey…. I’m shocked they are running the shuttles so I’ll take this as a win no matter what.

Correct…….servicing one leg……not two.

Then the question was, I think, why not have that same ONE train go storybook>>mainst>>frontier and back?

Simply extend this forward/backward motion. Why limit to Story/MainSt?

wait times would get pretty long I think. Probably 40 minutes between trains. (Except for Main Street cause it’s in the middle obviously.)

Ah that makes sense!

 

[K&KDizFreaks]

Run two trains. When train A is at Frontier, the other train B is at main. Both move at the same time. That puts A at main and the other B at storybook. Just can’t go from story to frontier and back, but doubles capacity and makes Main Street station fun. Must send both at the same time to prevent a bottle neck at main.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Run two trains.

Trains have to be watered and serviced at storybook.

*edit* - technically they could add another water and service location if they really wanted of course.

This, one of the reasons. And once again, there are possible issues for running backwards regarding the system for the 2 grade crossings between Main Street and Frontierland.

Trains have to be watered and serviced at storybook.

Water tower, maintenance/tool shed, blowdown location, etc.

technically they could add another water and service location if they really wanted of course.

Too much work for what they need just for it all to be temporary. Remember, this isn’t the DLRR. They don’t use a garden hose from Home Depot. And I’m not sure what, if any, locations there are between Main Street and Frontierland that would even be suitable for temporary water, tool shed, and blowdown infrastructures.

Can this still be heard or is it that cut off because of construction?

Oh I agree…. I just said it’s technically possible. Haha.

But hey now…. Using the hook for the water tower at WDW is equally as laughable as the water hose in my book!

Stitch doing sight gags works.

Stitch as audio only is annoying.

To me.

I never liked Stitch. Even when he was new. Then again I don't understand how anyone who didn't ride (or in my case seen numerous videos of) the original Journey Into Imagination could love Figment based on the current iteration.

Not sure why you crossed everything out but it would be too complicated to have people queue for multiple routes. People would end up confused and angry. It was this or nothing.

Happy to agree to disagree.

Happy to agree to disagree.

Next time you go to WDW, let me know. I'll hang out with you and talk to you exclusively in my Stitch voice impression.

We'll fix this.
