What Stitch's Great Escape COULD have been?

Adding an interactive element might be fun, although I'm not sure how you'd add shooting to a theater-in-the-round exactly.

Fixing Stitch's Great Escape feels like a huge challenge, just because there's not enough space for anything but a show. My druthers would be to rip it out and replace with an animatronic musical featuring aliens and robots, but even animatronic musicals seem to have a way of losing popularity over time. Pirates and Jungle Cruise last forever but the Tiki Room and Country Bears struggle to bring in guests.

Maybe the right answer is to move Cosmic Ray's to a second floor terrace, and use the entire space underneath to expand the Stitch area into a full dark ride of some kind.

Oooh, adding an interactive shooting could be fun. They could keep the circle theater and install blasters like in the movie that attach to the side of your seat. The blasters would be attached with retractable tubing so you could maneuver it around. Stitch could then "pop" out of places (randomize the sequence to keep it interesting) and as new recruits, it would be your job to stun Stitch long enough to get him back in containment. Each hit would get you points as well as accuracy. Of course, while he's out, he could still cause havoc and he would ultimately still escape. But afterwards, the recruit with the highest score could have his or her face appear on a "Recruit of the Day" screen. It would be a mix of Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story mania, and Star Tours.
