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

[mikejs78]

Hyperion theatre at DCA holds nearly 2,000 people captive for around an hour... I could be mistaken on what is considered good capacity, but that seems pretty decent.

But they don't hold shows for every hour - they can't because of the human performer factor. The Hyperion is showing 3 shows/day right now. So that's 6000 people/day.

Now let's take a low capacity ride (say, 1000 pph). Over the course of a day at MK (say 9AM to 10PM), it will serve 13,000 guests. The theater would have to add 4 more shows to match that capacity.

but anything is better than what is there, right now a new theater eats new guests. A replacement for stitch dependent on how many people it eats would still have to take into effect its losing an experience that is already eating people (when open). New is better than a replacement in this situation.

Valid point, but the theatre wasn't going to be replacing anything, so it would have added that capacity to the overall capacity of the park. The management parking lot currently has a thrc of 0.

Anything going into the SGE complex would likely have a much much lower capacity than SGE, so it would have the opposite effect.

Plus, like @ppete1975 pointed out, it would have added new guest walkways (I know the bypass is already there, but it isn't always open) to the park, relieving congestion in other areas.

Well, the thrc for Stitch is also effectively 0, since it hasn't been open in almost 6 months.

Valid point about the walkways but I do wonder how many people would venture back there...

Lol, you know what I meant, though. The theatre was replacing literally nothing. SGE will eventually have another attraction, which will be replacing an attraction with pretty high capacity with an attraction with (presumably) very low capacity. In a perfect world, we would have gotten both. Instead, we're just getting the one and MK really gains nothing from it, and instead loses a people eater.

What is this a game of telephone?

File this under, "you can't always believe what you hear".

The "telephone game" is basically when a message is passed from person to person and slowly gets distorted with each time.

in that sense, and in context, it appears the telephone game telephone gamed itself

 

[MisterPenguin]

A theater with a live show isn't as much of a people eater as you think.

What's Pooh's footprint? Mermaid?

Pooh: .44 acres
Mermaid without the extensive queue: .55 acres

Lol, i know. I was just referring to his post where “someone said that someone said that someone said ________”. It’s a classic recipe for a potential miscommunication.

Love this response. Absolutely awesome.

Is TDS's 20K ride low capacity? It was an omnimover and I thought that maybe it would be better than Pan's capacity (even acknowledging Pan is also an omnimover).

One site lists its THRC as 400... that's half of Pan's.

What's need for capacity is an omnimover with the cars right next to one another, like at Haunted Mansion. Now, how to you keep that from being another Little Mermaid with plastic fish glued to the wall?

<screens> There I said it!

If they sell alcohol in the MK there’s no reason why they can’t have Alien Encounter in Tomorrowland.

Vader Encounter if they are going the IP route.

Is that meet and greet still going on in the first pre-show room and has anything been announced seasonal-wise? Seems like this is going to stay shuttered with no announcement for a while longer, which I’ll never understand.

....plastic aliens glued to the ceiling?

Um, yeah. I got nothing. Wait, I had a thought. Maybe they could make it a two-level ride and thus have a larger amount of square footage. Well, never mind.

To me, they could go a host of different directions and make a great ride. Or they could just shutter that ride and have a dead space.

Incredibles would probably be the best fit for an IP. They seem to like it in Tomorrowland (and I don’t mind it, what with its retro future vibe and technologically advanced gadgetry), and it’s already accounted for in Disneyland through the Incredicoaster.

The question is what to do in that small space, though. Honestly, the Minion Mayhem/Turtle Trek hybrid they threw around for Wreck It Ralph could actually work. The whole family has powers that could work well with the ride system (Violet creating a Force field around the entire dome, Dash pulling us along, etc), and it could make for a pretty fun C/D Ticket.
