A Coco expansion would've fit "beyond Big Thunder" perfectly- it fits Frontierland, it's a progression of the journey starting in Liberty Square westward, it's a relevant IP with a sequel on the way, it could've added a stage show to MK (which needs more high capacity, low wait attractions) and it would've brought actually good Mexican food to MK. Then they could've replaced Pecos Bill's with a Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree & Mile Long Bar... or more realistically, Tiana's Palace.Moana would have been the more obvious choice to me, but consider how almost all the heavy hitter IPs and characters (as shown on @BrianLo 's chart) are already represented on property:
Frozen
Star Wars
Toy Story
Marvel (with limitations)
Avatar
Princesses
Pooh
Moana (the walkthrough at EPCOT)
Villains
TRON
Encanto
Zootopia
Nemo
What's really left besides Cars, Stitch and Incredibles? Wreck-It-Ralph? Big Hero 6? What could be shoehorned into Frontierland the easiest? They said we were getting Coco until we weren't.
I suppose Jebediah Springfield's Frontier Conquest would have been a more cromulent choice...
Also, I'm shocked to hear that Tron is a "heavy-hitter". Is it just because of the ride being popular?
