Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we head to Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World to experience the Tomorrowland attraction Stitch's Great Escape! The guide map says: Interact with a mischievous Stitch in this dark theatre-in-the-round experience. There is a height requirement of 40" for this attraction and the Thrill Level describes Stitch's Great Escape! as being Dark, Scary and Loud.

1. Stitch's Great Escape opened at The Magic Kingdom on November 16, 2004. To celebrate the attraction's opening, Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom was covered in toilet paper. Supposedly a prank by Experiment 626, Stitch, himself.

2. Stitch's Great escape is the fourth attraction to occupy this show building in Tomorrowland. The original right was Flight To The Moon which later became Mission to Mars. After that, the building was home for ExtraTERRORestriel Alien Encounter. When that ride was shuttered, Stitch's Great Escape moved in.

3. Several show elements from Alien Encounter remain in Stitch's Great Escape. Including the alien known as Skippy during the pre-show.

4. With the attraction being based on the film Lilo and Stitch, many of the voice actors from the film reprise their roles in this attraction. This includes Kevin MacDonald as pleakly and Chris Sanders as Stitch. The storyline of this attraction takes place before the events of the movie.

5. The Stitch audio animatronic built for the show stands approximately 39" tall and is, reportedly, the first audio animatronic ever to spit.

Now, let's check out Stitch's Great Escape. I have edited down the audio during the transitions between rooms to make the show flow a bit quicker. Keep listening after the attraction audio I'll give you my thoughts on this attraction and if you have headphones, put them on now as this is a binaural recording of Stitch's Great Escape at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - John B. deHaas and I head to EPCOT to experience the, newly opened, green mission on RELAUNCHED! Mission: SPACE! First, we learn a little about the ride, then we ride and review this revamped attraction. Recorded on August 13, 2017.

INTRO TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we head to EPCOT in Walt Disney World to ride the newly opened RELAUNCHED! Mission: SPACE! Today we'll be experiencing the Green, less intense, version of the attraction that's been dubbed Mission:Earth.

The guide map describes this attraction by saying Experience NASA-style training with a simulated space launch. The Green Mission of the relaunched Mission: SPACE has a height requirement of 40" and expectant mothers should not ride. Fastness Plus is available for this attraction. The thrill level describes the ride as being a Spinning, Thrill Ride in the Dark, though the Green Mission does not spin.

Before we are go for launch, here are five fast facts about the green Mission of Epcot's Relaunched! Mission: SPACE.

1. Mission: SPACE had it's Grand Opening on October 9, 2003 though it went through a soft opening in the months before. When it opened there was only one side experience. It wasn't until May of 2006 that the less intense, non-spinning Green Mission was open giving riders two ride options.

2. At 2017's D23 Expo, it was announced that Green Mission would be getting its own unique ride video, dubbed Mission: Earth that would debut on August 13, 2017, the date the audio for this episode was recorded.

3. When the Relaunched! Mission: SPACE opened in August of 2017, actor Gary Sinese, who'd been the ride's CapCom had been replaced by actress Gina Torres.

4. The new Green Mission still gives rider assignments for the trip of Navigator, Pilot, Commander or Engineer and each rider has the opportunity to push buttons at various points on the trip. If the riders do not push the button in time, a storyline 'computer override' will occur.

5. While on the Green Mission, riders see simulated views of Earth from space including The Grand Canyon, The Hawaiian Islands, The Great Wall of China and more. All these visuals are accompanied by a brand new musical score for the ride.

Now let's head to EPCOT to ride the Relaunched! Mission: SPACE Green Mission. Along for the ride is John B. dehaas and after the ride audio we'll discuss our thoughts on this update to Mission: Space. Also, to cut down on the episode length, some of the waiting time between ride announcements has been edited out. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we ride the Green Mission of Relaunched! Mission: SPACE at EPCOT in Walt Disney World!

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

As a companion piece to last episode, this episode we are headed to Disney California Adventure to ride The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure. The guide map's lackluster description of this ride says, "Be part of Ariel's world aboard this attraction!" There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the Thrill Level describes the ride as bing a Loud, Dark Slow Ride.

Before we set sail, here are five fast facts about The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure.

1. Located in the Paradise Pier (soon to be Paradise Park) section of Disney California Adventure, The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure officially opened on June 3, 2011. It took over the spot in the park previously occupied by Golden Dreams, a film about the history of California narrated by Whoopi Goldberg.

2. The statue of King Triton on the attraction's exterior was related there from the, now defunct, Triton Gardens in Disneyland.

3. The mural that can be seen in the ride's load area where you board your clam-mobile is 86 feet long and was painted entirely by hand.

4. The animatronic figure of Ursula in the attraction is the biggest on the ride measuring 7 1/2 feet tall and 12 feet wide.

5. This attraction boasts a tribute to the movie The Incredible Mr. Limpet, a film where Don Knotts turns into a fish named Mr. Limpet. In the Under the Sea sequence of the ride, Mr. Limpett can be spotted directly across from where Ariel is dancing.

So now, let's ride The Little Mermaid: Ariel's' Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure and see how it compares to Magic Kingdom's Under The Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid. Suzie is along for the ride today and after we ride we'll discuss out thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience, The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure.

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

It's time to head to Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom and visit with Ariel on Under The Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid. The Magic Kingdom guide map describes the ride by saying, "Descend below the waves for a splashy musical adventure." There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the Thrill Level describes the ride as being a Slow Ride. FastPass+ is available for this attraction

Before we begin flipping our fins, here are five fast facts about Under the Seas - Journey of the Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom.

1. Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid officially opened at Magic Kingdom on December 6, 2012. It was built on the site of the former 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction. Before that classic ride was removed, imagineers saved several jars of water from the 20,000 Leagues lagoon. In a special ceremony with The Little Mermaid attraction opened, the water they'd save was aded back into the new water features as a nod to the original ride at that location.

2. With a ride length of 5 1/2 minutes, Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid is one of the longer rides in Fantasyland. It also boasts an interactive queue area where guests can help crabs sort out Ariel's thingamabobs while they wait to ride the attraction.

3. Original Little Mermaid stars Jodi Benson and Pat Carrol lend their voices to Ariel and Ursula on the attraction while Phillip Lawrence provides the voice of Sebastion and Chris Edgerly voices Scuttle.

4. The attraction reportedly boasts over 180 characters! Most of them, around 120 characters, are featured in the Under the Sea sequence of the ride.

5. Finally, if you're a fan of finding hidden Mickeys in the Disney parks, this attraction boasts one of the most unique Hidden Mickeys ever. Imagineers constructed the rocks outside the queue for the attraction in such a way that the sun creates a Hidden Mickey only once a year at noon on November 18th, Mickey Mouse's Birthday!

Let's hop aboard our clamshell to a pay a visit to Ariel and friends. Along for the ride is John B. deHaas and he and I will discuss our thoughts on this attraction after the ride audio. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience, Magic Kingdom's Under the Sea - The Journey of the Little Mermaid.
