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

[THE Monorail Lime]

Sounds good to me.
At this point, any change to the Florida space mountain would be an improvement.

At least we can see our space mountain with the lights on, FROM THE PEOPLE MOVER....

I’ve obviously never been on Mission to Mars, what was it exactly? Was the whole attraction just watching a small circle screen on the floor and one on the ceiling? Sounds kinda lame if there wasn’t anything else to it...

That was pretty much it, other than pneudraulic seats that rumbled and inflated/deflated in rough synchrony to the images.

Allow me



Remember it was 1975, based on tech from 1971.

Honestly, while it wasn't a thrill ride, the overall effect was decent. I was quite fond of it as a kid. It wasn't something that people would be drawn to nowadays, though.

First time riding it, I swore we actually went in a spacecraft on Mission to Mars. Granted I think I was 6 at the time.

And AE was frightening, scary, disorienting and totally awesome and completely rad, and no one will ever change my mind.

Do you have a Flight to the moon tribute?

Without checking I *think* I included some of it in this one.

Shameless plug!!! HAHA
LOL you deserve all the compliments you get.

The first 5 minutes are dedicated to Mission to the Moon. You have some stills from the Mission to the Moon and then the video from the theater. The Mission to Mars segment has video camera footage of the attraction.

What's remarkable to me is how similar the passageways, preshow layout, and main show room were to AE and SGE.

I have dim memories of Mission to Mars, but it's been so long.

 

[Disney Maddux]

So... How long exactly has poor old Stitch, Skippy, and SIR been like this?

Do those game developers really think that RIP is pronounced 'rip' and not 'rest in peace'? Does that character pronounce 'etc...' as 'etk' or 'Mrs.' as 'mrrs'? Or, is it a sign of that character being edgy, or dumb, or that the world is in a new Dark Age?

RIP IN PEACE.

They trick the AAs into falling into a huge vat of molten metal.

Do they give the thumbs up as they dramatically slip into the pool of molten metal?

They got....The DIP.

Poor shoe

Yeah, I remember watching that in the theater and, even as a teenager, thinking, "Dude. That is some dark stuff."

MGMT continues to amaze me..... I get closing this attraction to seasonal. I dont get removing it until something else is actually planned and in the works.

This section of the park needs capacity even if this ride is horrible which I felt it was just meh it should have stayed open to balance the lines out.

Another fail for out great MGMT team

It's not the first time something like this occurred. They closed Superstar Limo at DCA with no plans of a replacement, and the park was pretty bare on rides at the time.

And park ratings went up when they did that

And to be fair, the spot is being utilized for something. It's M&G, but I'll take that over the ride any day. There are other better attractions that have been abandoned in the parks with no care for them. (DL's Peoplemover)
