Well, Disney has Fox’s IPs now, and Rio seems to be good IP to use at the parks.

Could Rio possibly be the main E-Ticket attraction of the Brazil Pavilion?

Nah, I'm good.
Using a Fox property in Epcot will bring complaints from many people here. However, it would also bring in profits from the Fox purchase. Disney needs to show the stockholders the value of Fox assets in all their Divisions and Rio can help. Disney needs to start making money on Fox right away.

Would seem odd for Disney to start pushing the mildly successful (and, apparently, dead) Rio franchise when they've judged the more commercially successful and critically well-received Coco not worthy of an attraction.
I'd be surprised to see m/any of the Blue Sky films incorporated into the parks as if they were Disney films. More likely Disney will see them as content for their streaming platforms, cable channels, and perhaps blue-rays and DVDs. They are overflowing with more commercially viable properties that they largely ignore when it comes to the theme parks and merchandising as it is.

Are you saying that you meg to differ?
I remember a time when the "News and Rumors" section did not have 87 random threads that were either general discussion or triplicates of existing threads.

That’s a huge mistake IMHO.
The non MK parks need more attractions to help draw folks away from it, and more importantly gobble people up off the paths.
Hopefully long term there is at least room for one.
What was the Rio attraction for the then 20th Century Fox World? I wonder what their "imagineers" planned?
Also... Rio is a terrible movie franchise and has no business being in a Disney park!

Dang. That seems like the wrong decision on so many levels.

If there is anything Disney would be using Fox stuff for theme parks right away, Marvel would make the most sense. I know WDW can't have the Marvel IPS Fox had, but X-Men is something Disney can do Meet and Greets, for all Disney theme parks outside of Florida. I know X-Men and Fantastic Four needs to be rebooted.
I thought I read somewhere that the Fox film assets were more for streaming platform robustness, aka. don't expect to see much, if any, of the Fox movie IP inside a Disney theme park anytime soon.
Count me in the crowd who don't like "rumor" threads where someone just throws something out there and calls it "a rumor".
And since someone with much knowledge has said, "There's currently no attraction for Brazil", this thread should go the way of the dodo.

None of those things have anything to do with Fox. Fox never had the THEME PARK rights to the X-Men. They had the movie rights. The Fox acquisition has absolutely zero to do with theme park Marvel rights in any way whatsoever.

It's exactly like thinking that Disney would count Anastasia to be a part of the Disney Princesses Line...It's not gonna happen..
So, what happened to the rumored extra several hundred million budgeted for Brazil that was assumed to be for an E-Ticket attraction?
Here's Rio franchise compared to Disney Animation since 2011 (when Rio 1 came out)...
Disney Animation in this time period scored much higher with audience and critics.
However, in the end, the Rio's made a larger profit in the theatrical window because they were made with a much lower budget.
However, Disney has been known to use IP in the parks that has the same mediocre scores as the Rio's, namely, TRON, e.g.
Don’t shoot the messenger. I hope I’m wrong.
But I know nothing of any extra several hundred million.
