In the fully selfish lens, I don't want Shanghai to lose its signature attraction.
John Favreau's Jungle Book would be perfectly viable with the ride system though and would allow for a bit more set dressing. Though that would probably be for Animal Kingdom. I'm a bit surprised the ride platform hasn't been reused in some format this far out from SDL.

that's freaking hilarious. Can we get Willy Wonka? We got Willy Wonka at home. In all seriousness, a Willy Wonka dark ride would be cool.

See, I never mind Space Mtn. but the second car on Matterhorn (especially Tomorrowland side) was SO painful. Although Flight Force in Paris is still worse…such a head banger.
Primeval Whirl. Includes free ambulance ride.

I imagine he's just guessing but I'd be down for Moana being lumped in with the BBTM expansions...if it's in Adventureland; just do both expansions at the same time. Moana anywhere else in MK would be idiotic.
I think Adventureland is the weakest land in MK. It seems like Indy really helps complete that land over at DL so I think Moana could do the same here.
Yeah idk why they'd abandon Coco; as you said it'd be a nice extension from BTM & it's a beloved movie. The only thing that makes sense is if they expanded the Mexican pavillion to have an extra Coco ride (NOT a replacement of 3 Caballeros).

Moana E-Ticket using the Shanghai Pirates ride tech on that expansion land in Adventureland between Jungle Cruise and our Pirates would be EPIC.
And then beyond Thunder Mountain have the Villains Land, Cars Land/Zootopia
, and Coco with a Flight of Passage type ride for Coco would be great I feel like.

The cynical side of me thinks it's naive to believe that any new additions coming to WDW in the next 10 years wouldn't include at least one direct 1-for-1 clone of something built at another Disney park and I feel like Zootopia has been rumored for far too long for it to end with the Tree of Life show being the only use. As such, I don't think it's too crazy to think that they could have dropped the idea of cloning Shanghai's Zootopia at Animal Kingdom and just copy/pasted the idea to Magic Kingdom.
Last we heard, Zootopia in WDW was going to be a ITtBaB retheme.

There’s still time for them to adjust their thinking and put it where it belongs, in the Germany pavilion at Epcot.

That's where it starts, but will that be the end? I mean, I doubt with Zootopia being where ITtBaB is in DAK they would clone the Shanghai ride to DAK, but nothing stopping them from putting it in MK. I mean, they do have a (new) Moana attraction at EPCOT and yet they were still talking about adding Moana to DAK.

Why not replace 3 Caballeros? It is an extremely weak attraction...a complete gut and redo with a Coco theme could be wonderful...and would be a perfect fit for the pavilion...The Pavilion doesn't need two attractions... Donald Duck is not Mexican.... and wouldn't it be cool if they took the Animatronic birds and put them on a balcony overlooking the Plaza in the pavilion...and every so often they would sing?... another show element to the overall pavilion...

I always thought the issue with replacing Grand Fiesta Tour is that you don't want to make it too popular because there if just nowhere to put any significant queue space...

They would have to bring people in from one of the sides most likely...Looks like the Odyssey side has more space... With Odyssey closed they could even use the bridge from the showplace Esplanade over to Odyssey as the entrance to the attraction...then exit everyone though the Pavilion...perhaps...

I actually was just thinking yesterday that instead of live-action remaking the popular and successful animated films they should have gone after all the ones that weren't huge successes. At least with that you have much more free reign to adapt and change things whereas it's almost heretical to change anything from the classics that were more or less perfect in their own right.
Live-Action remakes they should be making:
Atlantis
Treasure Planet
The Black Caldron
The Sword in the Stone (I love it but I don't think it was ever one of their big hits)
Brother Bear

Disney bought the rights to make a live action version of the Prydain Chronicles about a decade ago, but nothing has ever come of it. The Black Cauldron is the second book in the series, although the Disney movie is kind of a mashup of the first two books and changes a lot.
They were also supposed to make a live action Sword in the Stone for Disney+, but AFAIK there has been no news/movement on that since before COVID.

As much as I like Coco…Panchito is a war hero and should be celebrated as such.
Mexican 201st Squadron.

outside the main building on the Odyssey side of the building... that has the most space, bring people in from the opposite side... Maybe extend the ride into the back side of the building...exit through the interior of the Pavilion. All the work could happen outside of the plaza area, and some additional light set decor could be added to the Pyramid setting right before opening... The only thing they should do is remove the kiosks in the center of the pavilion and move them into the shop areas to open the space...
