	Movies - Stitch's Great Escape!

Stitch's Great Escape! is an attraction located at Walt Disney World in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland. It is a show which takes place in a circular theater which uses audio-animatronics, enhanced with periods of utter darkness, sounds, and smells.

The show opened on November 16, 2004, replacing the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter attraction which closed on October 12, 2003.

Walt Disney Feature Animation produced all of the attraction's character animation. Many of the animators who worked on "Lilo & Stitch" partnered with Imagineers for Stitch's Great Escape!

HKDL Stitch Attraction

An attraction named "Stitch Encounter", which is in fact similar to Turtle Talk with Crush in Disney's California Adventure Park, will be built in Hong Kong Disneyland and it will be opened in summer 2006. But is nothing like MK's Attraction.

Stitch Encounter Facts

Grand Opening: Summer 2006
Designer: Walt Disney Imagineering, Walt Disney Feature Animation
Ride System Interactive Show.

Criticism

The ride has received criticism from visitors regarding a certain aspect of the ride. After Stitch has "escaped" from his containment chamber, he is crawling around the ceiling and pestering the visitors, or his "guards". During this time, he supposedly steals a chili dog, and eats it. He then burps very loudly and a smell somewhat like chili dogs is emitted from the chairs.

The ride was designed to replace Alien Encounter,which scared many children. Unfortunately the ride was not as child friendly as they had hoped and since opening the ride's height restriction has increased by 5" from 35" to 40".

Synopsis

Guests are guarding Experiment 626, more commonly known as Stitch, from the Disney animated movie "Lilo & Stitch". Strapped into harnesses, they are present while Stitch escapes his cell and proceeds to destroy the room and harass his "guards".
