Actually, there is a rule. Bob Chapek, the president of the parks division has stated that going forward things will be: more Disney; more timeless and relevant; and more family friendly.
You know what "more Disney" means...

For once I'm not laughing at you.

I think it means that even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again.
Of course, I'm paraphrasing here.

Buzz turned into a new Wall-E attraction would be cool, but I will take whatever Wall-E I can get.

What about Miss Adventure Falls and Roaring Rapids?
I really must have missed that. I'll believe that when I see it.
Not hard to believe though for me. "More Disney" meant more film character driven and in this case "more timeless" means The things we let sit and become obsolete or stagnet will be new attractions.
I dislike the term more timeless. For sure, timeless is a subjective term, but it would seem that something speakable in broad strokes to generations in concept, is either timeless, or it isn't. The word more seems buzzy there for me.

Still not buying it. Chapek isn't going to OK an attraction that isn't currently dynamic enough (or expected to be soon through a live-action or updated new film) to move tie-in merchandise.
I hope I'm wrong though.

It's going behind the Speedway, next to Space Mountain on the plot of land behind the walking path from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland.

Miss Adventure is in reference to Mary Oceaneer, a member of S.E.A., an organization that appears in the backstory of some rides, especially those at DisneySea. S.E.A. gets connected to Indiana Jones through Jock Lindsey of the Hangar Bar at DS. The Jungle Ride also has connections to S.E.A., so, it's possible the new Jungle Ride movie with The Rock will connect to S.E.A. Perhaps the new Indy movie will make a connection to S.E.A., also.
The Roaring Rapids ride... are you referring to the one in Shanghai? That one relies on a Chinese creature. For Shanghai, Iger talked about that park being fully Disney and distinctly Chinese, so, you're not going to see the same IP push there as much as for Epcot, which had been mostly devoid of Disney Movie IP and of which Chapek made the comment about it becoming more "distinctly Disney."

More importantly, Disney does not have a controlling interest in Shanghai Disneyland Resort and therefore the final decision is not theirs to make.

It does have creative control. SSG still has input and influence though.

Creative control means doing the design work. You still need money to get it built.

Miss Adventure Falls is a waterpark attraction, which are still allowed to be original. Roaring Rapids was built as part of a new park that's not majority-owned by Disney. Some credit is due, but they are different situations.
In Iger's time, the US parks haven't gotten a single original, non-studio-IP-based attraction.
