I agree with Princess Evil - I think that they could create a ride for lilo and stitch that is much better than the very limited show that is Alien Encounter - there is so little to that attraction - the preshow technology isn't very compelling, and after that the main attraction is basically a demonstration of how cool stereo sound is. I guess in the 1960s that demonstration of stereo might be cool - sounds dangerous and mr. lincoln are basically the same sort of thing, it is pretty weak. They should be able to do something new and exciting with lio and stitch, not old and boring and tired.
On the positive side, Lilo and Stitch should be able to tune up this yawner in tomorrowland. I'm going to add here another concern - that is the cartoonization of tomorrowland. With Buzz and with a potential Stitch, then a lot of tomorrowland is based on animated films, wich is fine, but I miss some of the wonder of TOMORROWLAND for the sake of tomorrowland, not for the sake of enjoying animated characters, if that makes any sense.
That said, I'm not ready to believe any of it. The whole tomorrowland thing is a bigger deal in
disneyland than in wdw. In disneyalnd folks feel like tomorrowland is dead, because rocket rods didn't work out on the people mover track and now space mt. is closed. So that leaves you with a buzz light year kiddie show, star tours, and honey I shrunk the audience and autopia. Oh yeah, innoventions in the building that was carousel of progress, but that is pretty lame in disneyland. Couple this stale feel of disneyland with the upcoming 50th anniversary, and you can understand that people are excited to have some new attractions - this lack of attractions is what spurs the rumors of the subs opening back up. There are also rumors of a new Buzz ride going into the old circle vision ride - it isn't clear to me why they would put an omnimover ride in there (well there is a reason that is clear to me - to eat up crowds of people because a lot of people can fit on an omnimover). But it seems like they could use something like Tokyo Pooh or aquatopia if they are going from scratch. There is also the rumor in california of a stitch "overlay" on space mountain, or a stitch version of something like alien encounter, or a new circlevision film. These rumors change everyday it seems like, with someone hearing that something is on again, and someone else hearing that something is off again. I'm only bringing this up here to say why I'm not confident in any rumors about tomorrowland at wdw, because there is so much confusion about tomorrowland at disneyland - I don't think that they know what they want to do yet, frankly.
