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

[marni1971]

With the current info we have though, would the shops even be included in the gutting of the building for a new attraction, or just the SGE pre-shows and theaters? If we are including the shops though, I could see this being the perfect spot for a Wall-E dark ride.

WIR was purely in the SGE space. Holding, preshow and theatres and backstage areas but purely in the same attraction footprint.

Why can’t they make movies out of X-S Tech?

So they have an ip that is forgotten. They could bring it back utilize the current theater. And sell a ton of merchandise as it has characters that fit small plastic almost star wars looking characters. And it fits the land.

I don’t think it is totally forgotten, I think they are looking at a reboot for either streaming or theatrical.

you also have meet the Robinsons (prob screens with a omnimover) but Disney style not universal.

If it means we'd have a perminant presence of The Bowler Hat guy, I'd be all for it! (He's one of my favorite Disney villains!)

He is referencing a Wreck It Ralph attraction that was seriously considered for this space that was later shelved.

Jeffrey Jones.

They don’t have to cast him!

AE was overrated.

C’mon! lol

 

[DisneyJayL]

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

Exactly!

I feel bad for any of us hoping for non-IP.

Folks: IP is the mandate.

But we can dare to dream ...

 

[Kman101]

I mean, if shoving UP into Flights of Wonder (which, again, didn't have to be "meh" but all they cared about was putting Russell and Dug into the show) and Donald Duck into Dinoland isn't a sign of the IP mandate I don't know what is ...

I really wish they'd stop being lazy.

So can someone give me a rundown of what the plan is for the SGE space? From what I've read on this, instead of a WIR racing simulator, we're looking to get a dark ride instead? And this would also take over Merchant of Venus & Star Traders?

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?

I've got Pan in the 1000-1200 range. While not a true omnimover it's continuously loading.
I'd be surprised if TDS's 20K is only 400 guests per hour. It loads 6 at a time (albeit slowly), but I'm guessing they can hit 30 second dispatches without much issues (720 an hour).

Again, this is all we know...

Unless an insider speaks up now with more info, AFAIK, there are no answers to your questions.

Seasonal operation is a mystery as to when and if at all.

The Wreck-it Ralph IP once considered was taken off the table and no new IP mentioned (yet, and for all we know, Ralph is back on).

Type of attraction is a mystery (the two round theaters and the preshow isn't really a lot of space for a ride).

The only sure thing from insiders is that something new will be there by the 50th.

You should read more carefully.

Those were just people measuring how big the buildings are out of curiosity.

I was just asking if that's what was looking to happen...

A dark "ride" is just fan speculation.

 

[Kman101]

A dark "ride" is just fan speculation.

It'd be nice if ANYTHING got put in there. The clock's been ticking for how many years already now?

 

[Disney Maddux]

It would be cool to see a dark ride in Tomorrowland again.

 

[Kman101]

It would be cool to see a dark ride in Tomorrowland again.

But ... everyone LOVES BUZZ!!

I'd love a REAL dark ride in Tomorrowland too.
