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

[Animaniac93-98]

I've heard the first week of January may see it go bye bye permanently.

Historically speaking, Disney attractions tend to have their last operating day on or around New Year's Day or Labour Day. Would not surprise me if what you say turns out to be the case.

Thankfully the circular walls will remain Yes, there will still be some 1971 in there. Two circular show chambers.

Aside from that pretty much everything else will change.

So this was mentioned way back in this thread by someone as pure speculation, but I figured I'd pull it forward...

What are the chances they'd try and put something like this inside the theaters....

I'm thinking more Turtle Trek. With vehicles.

Is it the projection dome technology that was rumored to be used for the Star Wars speeder bike coaster?

What that a similar concept to what Sea world did a few years back with turtle trek?

Hopefully the projection is better than turtle treks. The idea was neat but the few times I have seen it, the projection was so washed out for most of it. (though there were a couple neat 3d parts when you could see it)

Well that has the potential to be interesting.
Minion Mayhem's motion base combined with Turtle Trek's dome screen?

That's kind of how I envisage it. Maybe more motion than Minions.

That show is disturbing, I will never see it again lol.

What, did the "mating" scene get to you?

 

[Magenta Panther]

Hopefully better than Minions. I thought it was...cute...but underwhelming. Screen screens screens, and not a great story either (and I loved the original "Despicable Me" film, by the way).

I know what you mean. I said a teary-eyed goodbye to Mission to Mars last week.

God help us!

Treasure Planet is great. Miles, I think you're being somewhat unfair. While it's not as good as Sofia the First or the Lion Guard, it's a perfectly serviceable introduction to sci-fi for kids. Plus, it's got Mark Hamill as a comic relief bad guy. Fun!

Mark Hamill? I tought BEN was voiced by Martin Short?
or what movie are we talking about?

 

[Cesar R M]

Universal.

They have the Mall of America dont they? I heard they are going to be expanding offering even more TMNT related attractions.
Plus they have the Nick hotel for meet & Grope at orlando.

I took two goodbye rides on SGE last week. I even felt a bit sad. I guess equal parts because I simply adore Stitch himself, and because the imminent closure makes mild.

From one perspective SGE is a complete waste of time. A toonified, toddlerfied ExtraTERRORestrial. From another it is a fun few minutes with a cute/misschievous alien in Great Moments with Stitch. In what is despite any criticism still a unique attraction setup.

I really hope they repurpose these amazing animatronics.

 

[Cesar R M]

That's why you replace Stitch with Guardians. Or perhaps do a Stitch ride that isn't a terrible mess.

Imagine one combining real elements of Stitch..
the "hot potato" scene, where they actually throw a soft plush gun to a random kid in the crowd lol.

 

[Cesar R M]

The (kind of) good news is I was allowed to openly shoot the whole attraction today. I got it multiple times in HD thanks to some kind cast members for a future project.

Marny to the rescue again!

Seriously marny, I bet you already have enough material to open a museum!!

BEN wasn't a bad guy. Hamill voices Gordon Gadfly (I think that's the name) on MFTL.

You know, it's amazing that for all his voice work, he's never done a Pixar or WDAS full-length film.

oh you mean bad guys!.
I tough you meant only goofy style (also MFTL? I tough we were talking about Treasure Planet). Still, I dont think he cant beat his joker on the Arkham games.

Well well.

Don't be surprised if this didn't happen.

More when I can.

Am I wrong to say you seem... excited at what this might mean?
