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

[Jones14]

So Tomorrowland in Hong Kong is getting an overhaul to Buzz Lightyear based on Marvel. Could that be another potential Guardians of the Galaxy destination?

Based on the released artwork, it looks like the Buzz overlay will be based around Ant-Man.

Like the person above said, it looks like Ant Man, but still I wouldn't be upset if that's what they did. GotG would be a fun IP for there, and the space-ranger architecture/theming might feel a bit repetitive anyway with the Alien spinner in TSL.

They said the new Marvel attraction will encompass many different heroes. Not just Ant Man.

I know years ago there was talk that Ant-Man was free to use, however that seemed unlikely given how he wasn't represented in the parks at all.

There's an E Ticket going to Hong Kong in addition to the Buzz retheme. That's probably the ride you're describing.

Oh wow. I stand corrected. That's pretty cool.

Didn't @marni1971 say that Tron is coming to Tomorrowland at WDW?

Nooooooooooo

 

[Daveeeeed]

Nooooooooooo

Or was it something replacing buzz? I may be confusing you with someone else.

 

[Communicore]

They should subject everything in Tomorrowland to the Horizons treatment and build cabanas in its place.

 

[DinoInstitute]

Nooooooooooo

I believe this was what he was referring to

There's been mutter of a Tron something for that area. And no, not the coaster. Maybe an overlay of Buzz? Regardless, nothing is green lit.

Thanks, that's it!

Ah. Gotcha. Me and my memory! Let me reiterate though just mutterings. I'm not aware of anything remotely active.

I thought Wreck It Ralph was off the table? I guess until. Something is officially announced by Disney.........

Wreck It Ralph sounds like it is off the table as a SGE replacement -- doesn't mean it might not be used elsewhere in TL or WDW in general (personally, I'll all for replacing the Speedway with a Sugar Rush

I'm all for replacing the speedway with another ride or 2. I wouldn't mind seeing a go cart style race track set up somewhere like Disney Springs perhaps with a kids course and a more challenging (and faster) adult course. Of course it would be an additional charge venue. Maybe use the former Disney Quest space since the NBA thing seems dead now. An indoor track would also avoid issues with rain and weather.

I would love to have a Wall-E attraction in Tomorrowland. This is one of my favorite movies! I think this movie would be a better fit than Wreck-It Ralph. Let me say, I know it is wishful thinking.

Wouldn't a Wall-E ride just be a window in which you could sit and watch people who don't feel like walking roll through the park on ECV's?

Kidding aside, a Wall-E ride would be incredible. That's my strong, strong vote (that I don't have).

After going on a Disney cruise, I joked that they should theme one of the boats The Axiom and just roll people around and shove food in their mouths.

Im one of the few that loves SGE because I think it's such an original idea, but I wouldn't be opposed to a Wall-E ride at all!
I've been fighting against the idea of a WiR ride because I felt it didn't belong in TL wut Wall-E definitely does.

It really was just a rip-off of Alien Encounter. In my eyes, it was a quick fix to make the ride more family friendly.

You're correct, but I liked the originality of both ideas, and I liked both the original alien and stitch.
Hence I liked both rides.
