Stitch was pretty impressive, but I think the alien was impressive in it's own right. Just look at these advanced movements!
In context the effect was quite surreal. Normal guests didn’t have night vision eyes.

But it’s accepted the alien itself had limited motion. And a turntable. It was all down to smoke and lighting. And sound.

The seem very undecided as to what to put in there it seems, not sure if it has to do with what they want to do with Tomorrowland or other factors. At least that is the way I read it from what our primary sources have been saying in the threads here.

Perhaps the reason they are so undecided on the replacement is because they are actually concerned with the thematic balance of Tomorrowland? I think it’s quite ridiculous to say that Disney never listens to the fans. They often do, when fan opinion has merit. It seems like they actually care about this update to Tomorrowland, so they’re taking their time with this replacement. Why waste money replacing the attraction with another cheap ride, when instead they can take a few extra years making something truly special (or at least good by Disney standards). Why would they rather have nothing in the mean time instead of an operational SGE you ask? Simple. The ride was so unpopular, it probably caused too many complaints for it to be worth keeping it open. Complaints were even common in the Alien Encounter days too. The easy solution was to just close the bad attraction. If there’s no bad attraction open, who’s going to complain? (Disney fans of course). Anyways, that’s enough of my rambling theories. Back to discussing the topic at hand.

I don't disagree with any of this. It just seems a little odd they're *this* undecided but if it's for the reasons you say, I'd be OK with that. I just think they know they can get away with a character meet and greet for the time being. Probably more a little of both.

I'd guess we see WiR in some form in Tomorrowland or Future World, unless the new movie bombs. But who knows? They often plop the wrong IP in where it doesn't belong when they have 'fitting' IPs they seemingly ignore.

I’ve obviously never been on Mission to Mars, what was it exactly? Was the whole attraction just watching a small circle screen on the floor and one on the ceiling? Sounds kinda lame if there wasn’t anything else to it...

How? Did it spin?

The attraction is a multiple-arm centrifuge that achieves the illusion of acceleration by spinning and tilting sealed capsules during the four-minute "mission". Fans blow air gently at riders to help avoid motion sickness, and a magnified display in front of each rider simulates a window to space with high-resolution computer-generated imagery.
