It has a nice cult following in the US. Not as popular as in UK though.

Just about every teenager/young adult I know loves the show... And that's coming from an 18 year old who has only seen a couple of episodes. But.. It'd fit very well in Tomorrowland!

Does Disney own Dr. Who? If not, I suspect the chances of this happening are completely nil.
They do not.

I didn't think so...lol and Dr Who is not a great match for the Tomorrowland format.
I am really glad Stitch is going away, just wish the replacement was going to be more futuristic and imaginative...
Hardly.
It was a dated franchise that used to be watched for poor sets and laughable make up.
Davis and Eccleston (both work aquantancies of mine) rebooted it into something with a cult following but it's never become mainstream.
There's a huge number of IPs seen as more fitting and more acquirable. Ralph being case in point.

Actually a Sugar Rush overlay for the Speedway, and re-theme Cosmic Ray's into the Gaming Hub...With all the different gaming characters used in the decor...Maybe a new animatronic show, add very conspicuous power stations to all the dining tables... Make it really relate to the gaming world from the film...and the Esplanade area there would be a thematic bridge between Fantasyland and Tomorroweland... It could work beautifully.

Spot on. In the US it's perceived similarly. There are those of us old enough to remember when the old version ran on public television in the 70's and 80's with the silly cardboard robots and such (and creepy but bad video-era effects), and there is a cult/geek fan base for the newer incarnations. It's not something I can really see having broad age range or appeal to the WDW audience, and it's too small a property to drag a significant amount of people just to check it out.
As a geek, I can tell you the Tardis is that phone booth thing, they have something called a sonic screwdriver, and I think Dr Who is gay now? But that's about it. I don't even know what the point is - the Tardis takes them through time and space because....special effects? LOL.
I am so glad that you are not in charge of what goes into a Disney park. None of that sounds appealing to me at all. Sorry.

Pretty sure no one expected Avatar to ever become part of the parks plans either, but hey. Lookie what we're getting! And I never said it was likely to happen. I'm pretty sure I said the word "very" four times before the terms "thin chance."
Sometimes you people need to get out of your "that'll never happen" bubble and just have a fun little "what if?" conversation. It ain't that hard and it's pretty fun.

That's what the imagineering forum is there for.
Here in news, you are going to be taken seriously at your suggestion and it will be analyzed based on its reality quotient.
As to Avatar, I personally think it's a huge mistake - but when Dr Who at least has the highest grossing film of all time worldwide, send it back around and we can talk.

What he said.
Why? You aren't equating the movie with the land again, are you? Because if so. Stop. The land will stand on it's own just fine without any movie at all. Just like Splash Mountain.

Eh. Logically right, but still doesn't mean every post should be taken so seriously and so restrictively. It's an idea relating to the current news and events taken place, thus, still a general response to the topic at hand. But I understand what ya'll are saying.

That was given they were bringing Wreck It Ralph into Tomorrowland...not necessarily what I think is the best idea, but thanks for criticizing!
Sorry, didn't have enough coffee before I saw this. I apologize, and will try to be more understanding in the future.

Is WIR going to be an attraction or a Meet-n-Grope which TDO considers an attraction, Meanwhile the Stitch space gets construction walls for the next decade or so...
I've not said it before, but this is one of your most petty, ignorant and plain daft posts yet.
The posts on this thus far all disprove what you just said. The cheap shots are becoming tiresome.
Save them for when they count. Please.

CarouselOf on Twitter is claiming Stitch has "already been dismantled and long gone". Is that true?
