Rumor Wreck-It-Ralph Attraction Likely to Replace Stitch’s Great Escape

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Perhaps they will just take the advantage of the former VOID attraction that starred them and called it a day..

 

[James Alucobond]

I will forgive a wholly mediocre attraction if it means they remove the fins at the entrance and on the roof. Bonus points if it kills the satellite tower thingy on the corner and leads to a refurbishment of the lower monorail supports.

I am a fan of Wreck it Ralph, so I wouldn’t mind this…depending on what they are doing.

Even if it were lousy, would that be worse than a building sitting empty?

Stitch was worse than an empty building.

Stitch was worse than an empty building.

I didn't particularly care for Stitch but that's silly. Even if a bunch of guests didn't do (or like) the ride, for those who did it added that extra thing to do and increased capacity for the park overall. It also was a unique attraction/experience for WDW so it's not like it was superfluous because it was similar to something else.

Guest satisfaction with Magic Kingdom was higher with it closed.

There's a rumor that Uni is pretty far in developing a Harry Potter "ride the broomstick" attraction with this tech. Would be funny if Disney and Uni built rides using the same tech at the same time...

Wouldn’t be the first time with Buzz and MIB.

I guess the Ralph franchise is one way they can squeeze Princess and Frozen content into Tomorrowland...

 

[owlsandcoffee]

Once upon a time I remember an Enterprise-ing group of creators who were making stuff nobody else did.

Will this be using the same layout from SGE and MtM? I'm kind of hoping it does because I'd like to see it preserved.

I'm also thinking Disney might decide to try to beat Universal to the VR experience by opening this before the Harry Potter one if that one is going forward

 

[fgmnt]

When can we export Monster's Inc Laugh Floor to DHS and gut Buzz so we can have a solid dark ride in that space?

I'd take 20 years of abandonment on the north side of the Tomorrowland boulevard for that.

Not like I would bank on getting either.

 

[marni1971]

The building itself is indeed small though could fit a Fantasyland style small scale dark ride (others can point out how the dimensions compare to stuff like the old SWSA building). The space could be made larger if they combined it with the adjacent store or food places but it’s not like Disney to remove revenue generating spots.

That said, I think the previous plans were about using the established theaters for a WIR attraction using VR or such.

The available space was looked at in the previous thread on the topic

Pardon the crudeness - I`ve been having new PC migration issues but here`s a size comparison someone asked about. Not taking into account structural issues like support beams and the like.

So it is somewhat similar to MILF in size. Wasn’t the equivalent of MILF used for Buzz in DL?

It’s a nice thought, but Disney won’t do it because money. I love Universal Orlando, butstill not a threat to WDW.

That’s said, in a race between building and launching attractions, Universal Orlando beats WDW.

How many years will the WDW railroad be closed?

How many years will there be construction walls in EPCOT?

Yes, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters replaced the CircleVision theaters at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.

If they try to rush it out, you have to wonder if it would be like the failed attempt using Kuka arms for Epcot's "Sum of all Thrills" vs Universal's Forbidden Journey.
