Wreck-It Ralph attraction scrapped

Though rumors swirled several years ago about a potential VR-based Wreck-It Ralph attraction in this area, well-placed sources indicate that this project was shelved a long time ago for unknown reasons before Wreck-It Ralph went on to have a VR attraction at The Void in Disney Springs and a "portal" at the Imagination pavilion at Epcot. What seems strange is right now there are no rumors about what Disney could be planning to put in the area formerly occupied by Stitch's Great Escape. Though we don't know for sure, it seems like Disney could be dismantling this attraction with no real plan for what to do with this space moving forward. 

Adding to this is the climate in which Walt Disney World will reopen after the COVID-19 pandemic closure ends. Right now, we are expecting many projects to be downsized or cancelled, and even if Disney had some kind of plan for this space right now, with budget cuts expected to hit the resort hard, we'd guess a project that hasn't even been confirmed with demolition not even begun yet will be on the furthest back burner there is.

With this facility's unique structure, there are plenty of options for this attraction space in the future, including putting another show in this area. However, we're not expecting to hear anything in the near future about this project, so for now, it will just be empty attraction space until further notice.
