Hey guys. Sorry about not having a spoiler warning. I'll do that next time. ;) Yea, the alteration is for safety, but it shouldn't take away from the overall experience. As for how I know... let's just say a little worm told me. ;) Seriously, though, I know people in WDI, so I know quite a lot. For those of you wondering about Stitch at MK, the Stitch animatron is done, but the head still needs to be put on. Stitch of course is larger then he would normally be, so guests can see him better. Think Zazu and Lago in the Tiki room. Though they are mixed with smaller birds, so I'm guessing Stitch should fit in more, because he's not being mixed with smaller Stitches. Hee hee. And spoiler alert...




The glass breaking effect is staying, but Stitch will break out. And not as much darkness. As of now, there's no height requirement for Stitch's Great Escape. So there's not going to be as much blackness... it would scare the little ones.:)

Thanks for the updates. Even though it may make me want to :hurl:


:animwink:

Seriously though is there any chance for a Stitch soft opening in June? I really want to get it over with. Thanks.

Perhaps I am looking at it wrong, but look at the model again. I assume the load/unload area is the area closest to us where the model turns from dark brown to light tan. The light tan area appears to be the land along the river (look at the drop in elevation).

Another reason I think this in the load/unload area is because it looks the track from the front, bottom part of the mountain ends up here.

Now follow the track from what I thought was the load area as it heads out of the station to the left. The track then bends to the right and goes between the rock formation that holds the temple and the actual mountain and then it can be seen again forming a loop to the left of the whole mountain area before starting its ascent through the temple and beyond. It is this whole area before the climb that I was referring to above which I imagine will be the part that we will go through bamboo forests as the press release said.

I was just speculating that this area could also be used for a small animal exhibit. Afterall, what is that box-like building structure in the far left of the model? Could it be an animal-holding facility or the building to hold the extra trains when they aren't being used or is it something else completely?

While looking at the model, look at those sharp turns and 'loops' in the back portion of the model. That looks fun ;)

Wouldn't the height restriction be due to the harnesses they use and not the darkness of the attraction? According to all the concept art I have seen, they will still be using the harnesses for the effects. Wouldn't that mean they would have to have a height restriction of some sort. I know a 4 year old wouldn't be able to sit in those chairs with a OTSR system.

So THEY are risking their jobs... if YOU will disclose more undisclosed information... Remember, It's indeed a small world... and they should know better...
If they continue their info to the outside, Disney will prosecute them to the full extend of the law...

Not a threat but the truth.

AND Bill... that should be enough...
First of all, it's told to him in confidence, and he breaches that...
One should keep silent about things told in confidence...
If he doesn't, he's even worse than the people who told him...
IF these people even exist...

Follow the track in the other direction. I think you were going backwards. :D

Those tan areas of the track seem to be underground level if you look closely. It looks to have several areas like this.

As far as the rumors getting let out, we will never know all the details about this attraction. CM's as well. CM's either hear things like we do or are told things but then they change anyway.

Funny how that model photo looks suspiciously like one of mine, one that I was asked not to post anymore.:mad:

Yes, there is a quite a bit of track before you enter the lift. As to whether or not there will be animals....I don't think so, at least not many. I believe it was considered but rejected as being dangerous.

And as for leaking info....sometimes you are asked to leak it.:animwink:

You ever read Forbes?

There's like a 4 ft high model featured in one of the issues. It's huge! And it got a full 2 pages in color. Really is awesome.

Ah... my first post.

Well, this ride looks interesting enough. Looking at the model, it seems very complex. When I read the first post, I for some reason assumed it would be like the Tower of Terror. Just going straight down.

Hopefully in three years, I can actually convince my parents to take us back. :(

Points taken Corrus. My friend's told me some guidelines for leaking information. My friend has assured me it's okay. As long as it's without names, it should be okay to mention. Or so my friend says. But I'll try to be careful and not leak too much. For my friend's sake of course. ;)
