Knowing that the new movie will be coming out 2018 I'd expect this replacement to be fast tracked.

Dang. I was hoping for a new attraction soon, but have it at least have some time and thought ut into it. Not a fast cash grab

So basically every new attraction in the last few years?

Why is this so painfully true?

"Fast tracked"? I think you're confusing WDW with the resort down the street.
When was the last time WDW fast tracked an actual attraction?
If Stitch goes seasonal, all that tells me is they have no immediate plans to begin any sort of replacement. If they did, they wouldn't close stitch for stretches and then re-open it.

Wonder if they will move to one theater operations during this time. Start work on one theater while the other is used for the overflow crowds. Once the new year hits full on overhaul for WIR. Won't know anything until we get permits...

Seasonal is not a good sign with Disney's track record. At all.

I seem to recall that the new FOTLK theater got done in a timely fashion.

I'm not talking shows. I'm talking a ride.
I don't know that I would count that, anyway. It was for a show that's over 10 years old.

But you said attraction, a term which in the context of Disney can include rides and shows.

Nothing says Tomorrowland like an attraction based on 1980's video games...

All they need to do is replace the chairs develop the game and get the vr stuff from disney quest! Its not that hard and would most likely be done in time!

Technically speaking, almost every project Disney does is fast tracked as the term describes a building process where construction starts before design is complete. It is supposed to be a faster process but it is a very relative term.
It was a theater based on a well established show, so all of the difficult technical work was rather set. Even then, it was not done in time for their to be little-to-no down time for the show.
Using old virtual reality technology just as much better systems are hitting the commercial market would be awful.

Wow. Are we going to argue about symantics? Okay, I'll play.
Disney's website lists the Festival of the Lion King under "Entertainment"... Not "Attractions".

But okay, you're right. A building built to house a 10+ year old show that was moving locations falls into the category of "fast tracking".
Do I have to make a whole new post to clarify that I clearly was talking about quick design, development, and construction of a new RIDE in a rushed fashion (as this whole thread is about a possible new ride, and the post I was replying to was suggesting the "fast tracking" of a new ride in the current Stitch location), or can this sentence take care of that for me?

Agreed!
I always enjoy the fact that Stitch has a height requirement. My grandson does not like roller coasters. Stitch is his favorite 'RIDE' since it has the safety shoulder restraints, but, doesn't go anywhere!
