Rumor Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

I don't think that's the problem. The issue is that they totally miss the emotional heart of Lilo & Stitch, the concept of Ohana that resonated with so many people. It's Stitch before any of his character development. It would be like if they made an attraction of Beauty & The Beast and focused on the Prince when he was a spoiled human brat.

Exactly this. The problem with the ride is that it constrains Stitch to act like the purely destructive creature he was before Lilo. I think a far better way to incorporate Stitch would be a system similar to Tokyo Disney's Monster's Inc. Ride and Go Seek. Set the ride after the movie with the premise that a dangerous batch of Stitch's Experiment friends have been set loose and it's the riders job to identify them all.

Then, the riders drive past and find the Experiment creatures causing good natured mayhem with childlike innocence. Lilo and Stitch make appearances playing with the creatures and building a new Ohana. The ride ends with the authorities accepting the new Experiments similar to how they accepted Stitch. This would actually utilize the emotional themes that Stitch is popular for (and without hot dog breath!)

Inside a theater (spaceship) where we help save Stitch from being experimented on by the evil Dr. Hamsterviel. We must employ the help of Pleakley and Jumba and the mayhem of his experiments to spring Stitch and reverse his glitch. In the end we return Stitch to Lilo and send Dr. Hamterviel to the Galactic Prison.

I wish there could be a dark built but there's not enough space in the SGE building. However, they could always move Stitch to where the old TL stage was. There'll still be space after the theater is constructed I think. I wish they could do something like TDL's Monsters Inc ride but for Stitch.

I would love a stitch dark ride to replace buzz lightyear after toy story land opens. After all, it would make sense. Maybe redress the the laser guns from buzz lightyear's to stitch's. Though keeping the laser guns will probably only work if the story is about pre lilo stitch.

I think they should keep Buzz as is, it's been popular with guests ever since it opened. And I think Stitch is a little old, under-utilized at this point. What Disney really needs to do is bring X-S Tech Alien Encounter back in the Tomorrowland Interplanetary Convention Center :)

Tall order considering that's what Stitch was designed to target and well we know how that turned out.

I miss the days when Disney would design attractions and rides for all ages; 2 to 102.
Essential for any themed complex to be successful throughout the long-term.

Also, the MK's queue was the best, because IASW was integrated fully into Fantasyland, unlike at DL where it is a separate entity about half an hour walk from FL.
Not to dispute your opinion of the differences between the versions, but 180 yards shouldn't take anybody half an hour to walk...
