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

[erwinalber4]

For the record my post a few pages back about Stitch burping was a sarcastic joke.
Those seats do look gross though now I don't feel as bad walking past it everytime.

I distinctly remember both....
- flashlight guy gets eaten, liquid drips from below
- "drool" after the thing breathes down your neck.

Right?

I wouldn't know since I was too chicken to do it while it was still open. I've only seen Stitch in person

AE I only know from the Internet.

What's happened to you Martin? You never used to be quite so nasty in your replies. I have a different opinion then you, as many do. You have a history with Disney that I don't, but, that doesn't make your opinion more correct then mine. I, unlike, a few, feel that life is way to short to not find the fun in something. You don't like it... OK, that's your right, but you don't have to be snotty about it.

I apologise.

sigh

That's a shame. It was really good!
I get why it was too much of a departure from the expected for many Disney guests. It was a little scary. But at least there was a bit of a warning. I have more sympathy for those who go into a Stitch attraction expecting typical Disney innocent fun, and then come out wondering what the heck happened.
And for the record, I adore Lilo and Stitch, and would be thrilled with an attraction befitting the film.

My daughter is 21 (please don't do the math), and she and all of her friends can pretty much quote the movie verbatim. It's a true classic and should be treated accordingly by Disney.

Same here, word for word. I saw it four times when it came out.

If we have to have a room full of arcade racing cabinets, why couldn't those cabinets look like light cycles and we are on the Tron grid?

Because the second Tron sequel was canceled, and the W-IR sequel has been confirmed for a 2018 release.

Because is it nasty and unpleasant. The same goes for JIIwF. I think Disney is better that burp and fart jokes, but that's just me.
People like good smells and most people don't like bad smells. If the same guy did the smells for Horizons, perhaps we would have got a manure smell for the agriculture scene instead of the oranges.

The scent is actually burnt coffee in Figment. My mom told me this when riding it last, and it was one of two things she said on it (the other was asking me to take a picture of that moon everyone likes talking about on here).
On the subject of Stitch, my mom told me I did ride this ride...and was so upset by something in it that we missed our dinner reservation at Crystal Palace! I was six, I think...and Mom said the smell upset me. I really hope it is open so I can see why it made me that upset. Can anyone tell me what it actually smells like in case it is closed during my next visit?

Both scents and audio can trigger memories - Disney should use both more judiciously.

I can't be sure since my only reference is my memory, but I don't think that there was any drool. However, I do remember warm, moist air on your neck as the alien breathed on you from behind.

 

[Bairstow]

I remember the drool/blood effect (dripping water from above) as well as breath (warm moist air from behind) and finale explosion (mist and burst of air from in front of you).

Its supposed to smell like chilidogs and I, at least, thought that it did. Bear in mind though that the smell is supposed to come from Stitch's mouth so I can understand why people would be grossed out. I thought it was cute but something I'd only do once per trip.

Burnt coffee? No... there is no burnt coffee smell on imagination... And Stitch's Great Escape is so lame I don't understand how anyone could be upset over it...unless maybe you were upset yoou wasted time doing that attraction when you could have been on a better attraction...lol

My sister & I always say that "it smells like Disney" whenever we smell the tropical Florida smell when we leave for work in the morning... Smell definitely triggers memories for us!

I believe the scent is burnt rubber, but I may be wrong? Can anyone verify this?

I have a disability and a lot of weird stuff freaked me out as a child that wouldn't freak out a normal person. For example, I had a fear of elephants before I turned ten because of a scary cartoon movie about an elephant when I was little (Mumfie's Quest).
And there are many links about the burnt coffee smell in Figment on the internet. Here are some:

...of the seats?

This has more to do with the age of the theater. It's been used ever since Mission to Mars.

The seats were only installed with alien encounter. If it were merely a theater age problem, and not the revolting scent residues Disney allows to dry on the seats, why don't the seats in the Hall of Presidents look this way?

Also, is there any actual confirmation that figment has always used coffee or just a bunch of sites and forums echoing each other?

You are a disgrace. Please turn in your Dreamfinder t-shirt and Mickey Handcuffs <ahem, I mean> Magic Band on your way out. Good DAY, Sir.

There was no drool. There was a flick of the tongue from the alien though that I could see being remembered over time as drool.

I think you're confusing it with the hot liquid that fell from the ceiling, accompanied by screaming. (I read about that in a summary of AE, as I was too young to ride it when it closed and my parents never knew it was there!).

I'm not confusing anything. I'm saying there was no drool and never was.
