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

[Disgruntled Walt]

Is this space even seriously being considered to get a greenlight soon? I haven't heard any new recent rumors, and every time I do hear something about this, the budget is always getting cut, and then its put on hold...

Most recent thing I heard from my source was that "something may actually be going in there" at some point soon. It's about as vague as can be, but we do have confirmation that they ARE talking about it. Which is better than nothing.

Bring in Wall-E already!

Bring in Wall-E already!

Right?!?! Unforgivable that he is not in Tomorrowland.

 

[dmw]

How else are they going to pay for the blackhole known as D+?

Blackhole dark ride confirmed!

 

[larryz]

I think they should add some dark rides to Tomorrowland.

This is satire, right?

Long ago there were rumors of Laff Floor (this was before Laff Floor existed) there was talk of an Alien Swirling Saucers ride going in there and creating an indoor galaxy of stars and planets that you would be swirling around... This would have been an amazing addition to Tomorrowland, and the environment ( Like PPF) would have been beautiful and demanded a return ride.... Instead, we got Laff Floor which doesn't even feel like a Tomorrowland themed attraction, and the Alien Swirling Saucers ended up in TSL outdoors with no setting whatsoever. At this point I would be thrilled with a double Scrambler or Tilt-a-Whirl in a black box starfield...at least it would feel more futuristic than nothing or Monsters Inc.

Wall-E belongs in EPCOT. That movie's themes & messages fit the entire front half of that park perfectly.

Now... one third of the front half of the park.

Future World is gone.

World Discovery would be its replacement.

I thought that was World Celebration? Or World Construction Pathos?

That's Walled Celebration.

The sooner fans get this, the sooner we can all move on

I dunno, I think he's on to something. The only dark ride Tomorrowland has is Buzz, and Magic Kingdom needs more people-eater non-thrill rides as is.

I'm not sure if there's any space in Tomorrowland for another dark ride... is the Stitch building big enough for one? Or they could bulldoze the Speedway, but I doubt they have plans to do that anytime soon.

I would think that with Universal already using the Simpsons, much like the Marvel properties they would have some sort of territorial exclusive on what is already used at USO.
And as others have pointed out...you cannot get more un-Disney than The Simpsons...
Disney has enough true Disney properties to fill a dozen theme parks without repetition if they wanted to...

There’s already rumors the simpsons is going to get replaced by something else sooner than their contract expiration in 2028; It doesn’t mean Disney *should* do something with it, but it’ll give them options to do so

I've just created a poll thread to discuss this:

Buzz Lightyear, sure, but just because they include roller coasters, don't forget Space Mountain and Tron.

And technically, because the seats move around the stage, you could even call Carousel of Progress a dark ride.

Eh, I don't care about Disney's dumb new names for it. They have a nature side & a space/tech side, that fits Wall-E to me.

I can see them replacing Mission Space with Wall-E

 

[Incomudro]

Guardians should have been Wall-E.

 

[SpectreJordan]

Mission Space being replaced by Wall-E & then the WOL Pavillion becoming something original but space themed would be nice.

Hard to tell exactly what is stitch vs Auties, vs Cosmic rays, vs Star Traders... but I get ~24,000 sqft

Pooh is ~17,000sqft for reference
