Should Buzz Lightyear be replace with a ride base off Hero's Duty?

No! Buzz Lightyear is one of the best dark rides on property and it actually has something to do with Tomorrowland.
IMO Heroes Duty might be a little too intense for a Disney Theme Park environment, if nothing else because the game includes Real Gunfire, and while that might not be a deal-breaker alone, there would have to be so much of it that it would A: Probably aggravate people with Post-Traumatic Stress who are just trying to have fun with their families, and B: probably couldn't be loud enough to sound realistic, as we have to keep things under a certain decibel level.
You could argue about Gunfire in attractions like Indiana Jones Epic Stunt, and GMR, but it wouldn't be as constant as it would have to be to create an immersive environment in Hero's Duty. Not to mention I'm not sure the Magic Kingdom is a place where I would want to go to War. Plus Buzz Lightyear is insanely popular.

They shoot lasers not bullets.
Disputing one point doesn't negate my entire post. Which by the way is fairly irrelevant, it's still gunfire. The game is a parody on ridiculously violent video games, which means that it is in itself ridiculously violent. How well do you think that would go over?
I would love to see Wreck-it Ralph in the parks, I adore the film and I think it would make a great attraction, but I think it would be much harder to translate it then you think it would be.
On one hand, it seems like a great idea to make Sugar Rush into a Test Track Style Ride, but I'm hesitant about that because can you imagine how unappealing giant candy and sugary things would look in the hot Florida Sun? (Which by the way is the reason Candy Mountain was never built). I could definitely see it being an interactive Dark Ride some kind, so perhaps you are on the right track, but I would want to limit Hero's Duty, just as they do in the film, and spend most of the time in Sugar Rush, I imagine it would all look better under theatrical lighting. You may be onto something, but I think that this movie may be notoriously hard to create a great attraction around.

No. I can't imagine it, because it's candy. I will eat it whether it's freezing or hot.
I think the main problem will be people trying to eat the surroundings and getting a mouth full of fiberglass!

Well the other option is making a motion simulator ride with the the Star Tours or Spiderman ride technology and the queue and preshow could be set in Game Central Station.

I would say keep GCS for in ride sets because how else will you move game to game?
The arcade will work for for a queue.

The plot could like Ralph during the preshow accidentally drops one of the cybug eggs into one of the taffy lakes again causing the cybugs to multiply and escape from sugar rush into game central station and Callhoun assign the riders to destroy all the cybugs before they enter our world. The ride will use the shooting system like Buzz Lightyear with a trackless system like Pooh's hunny hunt with the cybugs,ralph,felix,Callhoun and Vanellope are both animatronics and cgi. The reason why I want Game Central Station to be the queue and preshow because it would be like Monster's Inc Mike & Sully to the rescue queue with ads and a PSA by Sonic.
Sigh....Ralph didn't learn anything from the movie, I guess those two hours were pointless...

Actually Tip-Top this is his 3rd time he cause the cybugs to multiply.

Buzz Lightyear could use a good refurb though! I think the lasers could be better! My favorite rides in Tomorrowland are still COP, TTA, and space mountain. I think the other rides are ok but I prefer my rides without Pixar characters or stitch. WHICH is why I need Epcots future world to remain character free!

How about a ride based off Brave or a new meet & greet area for Merida?
I let this thread die because I'm still working out the kinks of this project, I plan to bring it back sometime this summer! Stay tuned!
