I thought they took SIR apart for parts, but whatever. Do you know what animatronic he will be? Council Woman, perhaps? He does have the right shaped head for the job . . .

Well we are hearing many things about S.I.R. and Skippy and I guess I really do not know how it will turn out. Will Skippy be "Skippy" or will he be a different character with a different look? Will S.I.R. be there or was he scrapped for parts? And if S.I.R. is still there what will he look like? Lots of questions that will get COMPLETE answers in a few months.

Lemme just say something about coaster loops. If you look down, you won't know you went in the loop. If you look up, you will see the world move, but you will not feel the loop. It's the upside down twists that you need to worry about!:lol:
And stitchfan, your first visit huh? Go on Buzz Lightyear!!!

I was gonna skip that because it looked a little below my age level...aka...boring.


What's good about it?

Buzz is wildly fun...it's not below anyone's age level! You get a gun and get to shoot stuff! What isn't fun about that?! And I didn't think S.I.R. was in Stitch's Great Escape...

I should add primarily.

yup...little bit older for Stitch, though...

Buzz is all ages
Stitch is ages...5 and up maybe. It's not entirely tame...kinda like "It's Tough to Be a Bug!"

Well I certainly hope to see less crying kids at SGE than over at It's Tough To Be A Bug. Everytime I go about 3 or 4 kids have to be lead out of the theater with a parent. And remember in SGE it's actually the "good guy" that could be scaring them (626 before "Stitch"). I hope that WDI makes Stitch like he was early in the film, but not so scary to where the attraction will not be fit for it's target audience (the under 10 crowd).

Do you think there will be any effects as scary as the "hornet sting" in SGE, ISTCNavigator57? That might not be a good thing considering the restraint system.

They are using the same show system as Alien Encounter. Means the theatre will go dark at times and there will be scary effects, like stitch breathing on guests' necks, jumping on their restraints. It's tamer than Alien Encounter, but still scary.

sorry, no pictures. I wasn't intending on seeing in there that day. :p

and I used the Star Traders example because it's all part of the same refurbishment. SGE means everything from the front of Tomorrowland back as far as Cosmic Ray's will be getting a significant overhaul.

honestly, I wasn't able to get far enough inside to see the laser guns, although the skeleton of what could end up being one was near the door.

Theatre A looked pretty well complete to me, but you have to remember I was looking at it through Theatre B and the preshow. =P

and yes, Stitch will be tame but will also involve sensory effects, in the dark, hopefully in the name of fun, but the fact that they're THERE will probably freak out a lot of kids.

hell, everytime I go on Philharmagic some little kid has to be carried out. and that's just about one of the tamest things at MK...

I fully expect some children to still be bothered by SGE. it's the nature of the beast. it's also ironic because the whole reason AE was shut down in the first place was because it was "too scary". =P

I think this thing will have some more "teeth" than people are expecting. if the wheelchair hall is any indication, they're not doing a lot to the interior... it'll still be dark and weird and kind of menacing.

new Stitch items are, before I forget:
- car decal or magnet of 626 biting into the surface
- tye-dye SGE shirt with 626 biting into the chest, logo on the back
- 626 loomed over by a giant shadow. "Small Size, Big Attitude"
- white tank top with 626 crawling on the chest spitting
- dark blue T-shirt with Stitch drooling when he's suspended in the ceiling at the start of the film
- child's shirt: "Beware of 626, the two foot terror"
- liscence plate version of child's shirt.
- small ceramic figure of smiling stitch

and yes, the Stitch hats are totally sold out. I've got mine. :D

Merchant of Venus has been converted over into "Stitch Land" and has more Stitch merchandise and plush than even I, a confirmed fan, ever asked for. :p

Yep, I know about the effects. but the fact that it's stitch doing it in a playful manner may sit better on younger guests' minds than some scary alien.


Of course kids will end up being carried out, just likely in fewer numbers.


That said I hope they keep this thing in the spirit of the movie and don't make 626 truly evil. He never was, he was just supposed to be annoying and playfully destructive to society (jumba's ego remember, overstated stitch's purpose). So making him evil and nasty wouldn't be correct and I hope that isn't the direction they go with it. Stitch was always stitch, he just didn't know it yet. Lilo helped him unlock his true self. But anyway, I'm sure it'll turn out great as long as they keep it to the spirit of the movie.


Praying for a miracle.

That right there is irony at it's best :lol:

actually, kids won't be carried out, since you're all locked down in your chairs. :p which was the whole problem to begin with.

That's why they set this up so that both theatres exit into a gift shop. Kids freak out, leave the theatre after the show ends in tears, and their parents buy something for them in the gift shops :D

Wow, first trip?! I really hope you can keep a positive mindset to enjoy your first trip to WDW, as it's such an amazing place. Maybe it's because you've never been that you don't know what else to look forward to? You might wanna make the MK the very last park you visit, just so you can get as close to those soft openings as possible, if at all. Enjoy WDW and all it has to offer! :)

Actually I've been researching the park quite a bit. I'm a travel agent in training so about 60 pounds of "freebies"...aka...travel brochures and the like just arrived to my home. There will be no shortage of disney stuff here for a while. :D


Unfortunately quite a bit of it is vague as to what each ride is, usually a small brief summary of the rides, but nothing detailed. Thinking about getting the unofficial guide.


But I am very excited. There is much to do. But I'd be lying if I told you that missing Stitch wouldn't leave me somewhat sad.

Don't worry Stitchfan, if you miss the Soft Opening, just remember our little secret . . .

you are going to sneak a group of people onto that attraction? Couldn't you get fired for sneaking a random group of people you don't know onto an unfinished attraction? Sounds a bit shady to me...:lookaroun
