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

[FrankLapidus]

Thems big words. Hope you're wrong. I think the attraction type itself is a great concept. I wouldn't mind seeing a similar attraction in WDW. If you're referring to the horror aspect.. yeah that, that would only work in HS nowadays. Seeing as how it WAS a proven success, just deemed "too scary" I wouldn't discount it's return. Maybe not A.E. but something similar being born from it's ashes could happen, hypothetically.

Yeah, I meant the horror aspect of it.

Maybe I will be proven wrong but I don't think we'll see an attraction like Alien Encounter at WDW again, not unless it was drastically toned down and if that were the case you'd be losing the things that made AE unique and worthwhile as an experience. I'd like to be wrong, but I just don't believe that Disney today would risk the kind of response to an attraction that AE received again.

20K is still temporarily closed. They’ll refill the lagoon any day, now. I can feel it.

At least the hat and the wand were removed.. we also will never experience half life 3....

All the permanent sings at SGE that say SGE have been permanently removed. They have been replaced with permanent character encounter signs.

They did that before the reopening for the holiday crowds as well. It can very quickly be changed back to SGE if they want to open it back up for spring or summer break.

As per martin its currently on a week by week basis. Plus Disney still has the attraction page up

That’s a lot of permanence.

Instead of Guardians of the Galaxy in Epcot, I wish WDW would have done Guardians in the SGE building. Could have come up with something similar to AE or SGE.

That's a very small building. Unless they removed the building (and connected shops/restaurants) entirely you're not going to get a D ticket in there, let alone an E.

 

[Fox&Hound]

I wish they would just move the animatronic figures into the static show scenes on the People mover...What if Stitch were causing mischief with the beauty parlor robots or the traffic control system? Seems like a no brainer....View attachment 257028

Looooove this idea!!!!

Oh you could. AE was a solid D.

 

[Horizons '83]

Oh you could. AE was a solid D.

It was a great example of how effects/sound/light can work in unison and create a fantastic attraction in a small space.

 

[aladdin2007]

Oh you could. AE was a solid D.

could they do a darkride in that space if they were motivated enough and wanted to spend to change the floor plan?

 

[MaxW]

I really don't see how they could. That space isn't that big.

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

could they do a darkride in that space if they were motivated enough and wanted to spend to change the floor plan?

Yes. It's possible. Not on a grand scale but certainly doable; especially if they reroute a path and removed or reduced Auntie Gravity's and Mickey Startraders square footage. Throughput might be a problem. I would think any potential darkride would need to be on the smaller side yet have cabins that can accommodate a good many guests per vehicle. IDK. I don't think Disney would be willing to do it. Love to be proven wrong though. Tomorrowland could use a darkride. Not sure if this area would be a good location but it's certainly doable.
