Stitch's Great Escape

[lizzi6692]

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean no one else does. I love Stitch and I love this ride. I think its hilarious and its a must do each trip for me and my husband. If you don't like it, don't ride it. There are plenty of rides I don't like/would never go on. I don't expect Disney to get rid of them just because of some people's preferences.

DH and I did Alien Encounter BC (before children) and really enjoyed it. Two trips ago DH did Stitch with DD(then 9). She got a kick out of it, he wasn't too impressed. This past trip we all did it and DD7 loved it so much we did it at least three times. I thought it was cute. Didn't really want to do it three times, but I loved that our youngest DD was so delighted with it.

We've only managed it once, but we enjoyed it. I never experienced ExtraTerrorestrial Alien Encounter, so I can't compare the two. I did like Stitch's Great Escape.

For this attraction's "Grand Opening" back in what, 2003 <?> (I honestly can't believe that it's lasted *this* long, really), the park did something I never expected.

Cinderella Castle....was *toilet-papered*.

Yes, I said TOILET-PAPERED...the Castle.

As if the Pepto-Bismol Castle wasn't bad enough...

Can you imagine...coming to the Magic Kingdom for that once-in-a-lifetime trip...you REALLY want your family's photo on Main Street with the Castle in the background...and it's been *toilet-papered*?

The park's response to guests who complained?

"Stitch did it."

By the way, it really bugs me that they keep referring to him as Stitch. Since this is a prequel, Lilo hasn't named him yet. He should just be Experinment 626..... Just a glaring lack of attention to detail in my opinion...

The one thing that does bother me is what a PP mentioned...about him being called Stitch. Lilo gives him that name, and he hasn't met her yet! It is a total oversight...they probably just decided for marketing purposes that they couldn't call it "Experiment 626's Great Escape", and said "to heck with continuity!"

This is just one in a very, VERY, VERY long list of reasons why I loathe this attraction.

And besides that fact, it's also grossly unimaginative, completely out of synch with the story, dull, poorly done, and downright offensive in many parts.

If someone gave me ten sticks of dynamite and a plunger this would be the first place I'd head. Well ... maybe Journey Into Your Imagination, but it would be a tough decision.

I used to work for Disney research. We surveyed guests coming from this attraction for the first few months after it opened. People HATED it! Nobody liked it, they just had different levels of hatred. No wait ever for this horrible attraction. They don't even uncover the fastpass kiosks. Such a waste of space. I don't ever vocalize my opinion at WDW because I don't want to ruin anybody's vacation, but I so badly want to tell people to avoid this like the plague. It's funny during this past Christmas to see people walking right into Stitch and a line for the Peoplemover.
