I would be game for a newly themed stunt show ... a marvel property perhaps? of the few they are allowed to use.

But these would be two Indy attractions in the same park

Love the ride and always smile after. I just wish they had put it elsewhere. Would have been an amazing fit at HS

Stunts are in Studios, IJA would be in Animal Kingdom.

As it no longer feels like a Studios Park, I would be fine with the stunt show going away and something newer and better it's place...say, perhaps the entire Shanghai Pirates complex including the ride, with restaurant, a Pirates Village and the Pirates Stunt Show. It would fit in the space currently occupied by the Stunt Show and the Backlot Express...and is specifically matched to the film franchise....Then we could have two Pirates rides, but one specifically aimed at the films...and they could remove the Jack Sparrow bits from the original ride....
As much as I’d like it, with the reported two new reboots coming, I don’t think they’d go all in on sparrow anymore
Also would guests get confused?

Why would we have 2 PotC boat rides in the same resort? Doesn't make much sense

Why do we have 2 Toy Story interactive shooting dark rides in the same resort? Doesn’t make much sense.

What is confusing? One is classic POTC not related to the movies (if they remove Jack elements as suggested). The other is based directly on the movies and is a different experience.
I have long supported this very idea and think it would be great. The two rides are quite distinct and would compliment each other as different experiences and would be fine in the same resort.
Im not against that, I think the average guest might not. Heck, I’d like that, but I don’t think theyd do that wit them wanting to reboot the series.

Probably that they're both called Pirates of the Caribbean. Even when they had the Pirates exhibit at Hollywood Studios, it was called The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow
They can clone the technology, but they don't need to clone every international attraction for WDW

Then just call the DHS ride "Jack Sparrow and the Battle for the Sunken Treasure"

I mean, one is character focused, and one is the entire movie focused. As Gusey mentioned, it's confusing if they're both called Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm not really sure it makes much sense to have 2 pirate themed areas at 2 different parks in the same resort - I don't think there's much demand for that

The issue would be that they're two similar boat-based ride experiences. Yes, one would use substantially newer technology, but other instances of same-IP-in-same-resort are generally more distinct, like with the Moana water walkthrough and the rumored Moana flume, or the IJ stunt show and the IJ rover, or the Frozen sing-along and Frozen Ever After.

Sure, they are both boat rides, but that's largely where the similarities stop. I don't think they are particular comparable experiences even though they are based on the same IP. Shrunken Treasure is more movement/thrilling due to the nature of the ride tech and is largely screened based compared to the much more traditional slow moving AA/physical set based POTC. I would agree that they should have different names, but I don't see a problem with both experiences being at the same resort especially at different parks.
Though I would remove the Captain Jack elements at MK in order to further differentiate the rides.

Having ridden both, I would say the Shanghai ride is drastically different...in tone, experience, storytelling style... They feel like different animals... There is no happy drinking song, there is no town being overrun by antiques-selling pirates... They are different animals... and they could play like a part one and a part two as the Shanghai version lightly references the original, but then goes someplace else....

Scrap metal prices were high during COVID and Disney was short on cash.
I actually rode the same ride at a park in Kentucky last week... And as someone else said the ride manufacturer is still in business, they are still advertising the same model on their website.
The site we don't say has pictures of more trees being removed from around the DINOSAUR showbuilding. Could a closure date come at D23 or is it too soon?
