Stitch's Great Escape Goes Seasonal

[montyz81]

plus, Bowler Hat Guy truly is one of my favorite Disney Villains... sigh....

He's not really a Villain. He is just the slighted version of Goob. He ends up catching the ball at the end of the movie. If they had kept him as a villain at the end of the movie, it could have made for a better movie and possible sequel.

Try finding Stitch merchandise or M&G's they have been dramatically scaled down, Even Stitch's presence at the Poly has been scaled back.

They have to make room for Moana

I know they'd never...but give me a proper Treasure Planet attraction in Tomorrowland.

The only thing I miss about the attraction would be the amazing Stitch and canon AA's along with Stitch's voice heard on the Peoplemover.

Maybe WDI will move one of the Stitch figures to the Tiki Room and copy Tokyo's version?

Or move him to Adventureland and let us go on a Hawaiian rollercoaster ride?

Stitch.... these are your final steps.

Just pull the plug already and move onto the next...even though I don't want Sugar Crush.

At least Stitch is at the Tokyo version of the Tiki Room. However that is much more fitting.

I've given Stitch a chance, twice -- and it was two times too many.

My only regret about its "seasonal" operation and likely eventual closure is that with fewer victims...er, I mean, guests, in line for it, other lines in Tomorrowland might be a tad longer. I do hope they ultimately replace it with something better (a Guardians of the Galaxy-themed return to "Alien Encounter" would have worked nicely if a Guardians attraction wasn't supposedly already slated for Epcot...)

Maybe the longer lines for Space Mountain can give more guests awareness for a major refurbishment or overhaul.

 

[brb1006]

I hope they eventually reuse the Stitch animatronic. It was the only good part of the attraction.

Put the AA somewhere on the Peoplemover in the robot section.

 

[brb1006]

I agree... When there is a speedway just across the esplanade that begs for the Sugar Rush treatment... Why can they not get new electric cars and add a ton of props to the layout to actually replicate the Sugar Rush races...The Queue could have a car building game like the movie (because if they actually did this, the lines would be HUGE), and visually it wouls make a fun visible transition between the Wonderland Props of the Teacups, the Circus decor and the transition into Tomorrowland. It could be an amazingly popular attraction based on an ip that would work beautifully in the space available... Put something more sci fi futuristic in the Stitch attraction space...

I'm surprised Speedway is still at TL.

 

[brb1006]

I may be one of the few people sad to see this ride go. A proper Stitch ride would be nice, but I'm curious what they can do with that small space. The Sugar Rush rumor fits as well into Tomorrowland as Guardians of the Galaxy in Epcot.

While I'm being extremely optimistic, a 2016 version of Alien Encounter would be amazing. Maybe if there was a massive warning sign saying "DON'T BRING SMALL CHILDREN IN HERE" out front.

I can already see the amount of complaints from parents if they ever brought back AE on the Internet.

 

[brb1006]

Yes I bellieve they did... there was also a rumor that Hong Kong was going to close theirs to make way for something else...Maybe they could ship us Hong Kong's electric cars!

I can still smell the gas smell.

Havent had this amount of applause out of me since Captain EO went bye bye.

Now can Disney please overhaul the third incarnation of Imagination?

 

[brb1006]

Maybe WDI will move one of the Stitch figures to the Tiki Room and copy Tokyo's version?

Bad idea for WDW (Remember the version with Zazu and Iago). Tokyo can get away with that though.

I thought they already did by replacing the wonderfully themed 'Notes from Civilization' store with the Generic 'Moana's Merchandise' ...

Hey @Goofyernmost we rarely agree but I think you are spot on with this one, Even so the speedway SCREAMS for an update to electric cars because the eye stinging fumes of worn out small engines is just a bit too much to bear, With electric cars kids could choose the sound effect they want their car to make and the cars would be safer and perform better at the same time.

Just a tad overly melodramatic, don't you think. I've never heard anyone complain that they encountered 'eye stinging fumes'. Really?

Have you ever BEEN there - the fumes are bloody awful on a windless day a mix of raw gasoline and burning oil from the worn out small engines.

Yet some insist the gas smell does not exist...

Yup. A steady visitor since 1971. I agree that converting to electric carts would be a welcomed upgrade, but, I can't recall fumes stinging my eyes.

I love that gas smell....lol
