BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm seeing this one popping up more and more recently. This is the blurb from Chip & Co... Quote The board of directors at Disney has approved $3.5 billion for Walt Disney World improvements. In that chunk of change most of it is going to Hollywood Studios so Disney can finish out Star Wars Land & Toy Story land. They have also set aside some money for Epcot & the Magic Kingdom, sorry Animal Kingdom no money for you, why don’t you ask James Cameron? So of that money for Magic Kingdom the most least popular ride (did I say that right?) at Walt Disney World is Stitch’s Great Escape. The chatter on the net is maybe some type of Wreck it Ralph 3D Racing Attraction based off Sugar Rush! I will be the first one to do a little dance if just about ANYthing replaces that attraction. http://www.chipandco.com/disney-closing-stitchs-great-escape-journey-imagination-246240/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I've been hearing this Wreck It Ralph take over of Stitch's Great Escape rumor a lot too. I can see it, but I am not that excited about it, as my guess is that it will just be a retrofit and change the theme of the attraction from Stitch to Ralph. Not really a new attraction. Just like when they made it in to Stitch in the first place- it's really the same as Alien Encounter- all they did was swap out some animatronics. The rumor I've heard is that this new attraction would feature virtual reality. Like everyone wears goggles. I can see that end room staying exactly the same, but everyone has to put on goggles and watch the action that way. To spice things up, they can shake the room, have Ralph jump up and down on your shoulders, spray everyone with some water, and release some kind of offensive smell, and call it a day. Yawn.

Beckers 1,136 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 The only possible good thing is maybe it will be a good candy smell? But if you are right that it's just a like theme change, boo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For those of us that wear glasses nothing really works. You either try to use the park provided eye wear with your glasses for poor results or just use the park provided eye wear alone and see everything out of focus. Until they can come up with something that allows you to correct the vision in the goggles I think a lot of folks will have a less than ideal experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I for one am tired of not being able to enjoy 3D attractions because I wear glasses. MYOPIC LIVES MATTER! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You wouldn't think so but never underestimate Disney's power to screw something up. They took one piece of chicken away from the GAG. So anything's possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Both of those things were actually good to begin with. Stitch is the laughing stock of all Disney rides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the people involved in putting it there in the first place aren't involved. It's seriously the worst attraction EVAH. Last time I did it was a few years ago during the 24 hour MK event when we decided we were going to do EVERY ride/attraction. It was late at night and under protest. It was just as terrible as the first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine that an imagineer would sign off on it. Yes, I will go on it ONCE this next trip just to remind myself how awful it is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Was stitch open for Christmas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've been on stich one time and that was more than enough. The only reason I went on it the one time was because there was no line. Went a couple times when it was alien, and it freaked me out, was much younger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
