I saw this permit a couple days ago, but the Reedy Creek Address finder totally failed me, it didn't find this address, but when you actually click on Stitch it is the correct address. This is one of Disney's really big contractors. It has no expiration date, so it get's a default one year, but that's not surprising since this is just for the demolition.

While I hate to be gloomy, if the attraction DOES indeed feature guest interaction (gaming, as would make sense for WIR), I wonder how it will be implemented.

Guests love the shooter rides because everyone plays by themselves and against each other together in an easy-to-understand carnival game style atmosphere.

Guests seem to... dislike... MF:SR because it requires them to do more complex gaming while relying on others that might be better or worse than they are.

WIR seems to me an interesting vector that involve individual play, but perhaps something a little more complicated to understand. Unlike all the other examples, though, it's possible that people will essentially be playing alone, like the Magic Carpet experience in DisneyQuest.

Also, I wonder how much of this will be translated into the "Play!" Pavilion... I had thought WIR was going to be a huge part of that area, odd that they've decided to split the IP.

“Gaming” Attractions are almost always a bad idea. Video Games have evolved so much to the point where an attraction really can’t top what you experience at home, especially not while trying to cater to everyone.

Gamers get annoyed waiting for a dumbed down >15 minute experience. Casuals might find it fun but often times feel out of the loop for the fast pace of an attraction. Nobody wins.

There’s a reason why Mushroom Kingdom won’t have any major interaction in the attractions.

Have to admit I’m confused...out of all the things to go forward this is chosen? Don’t get me wrong I REALLY want Wreck it Ralph it’s of my favorite modern Disney movies...but doesn’t Disney have like oh I don’t know...a whole park to fix up?

In one thread we have another “insider” saying the EPCOT revamp is in turmoil...and now we have this piece of news. Very weird.

Oh, and everyone’s favorite site is also talking about this.

Since the permit has been filed we know something is happening.
