And being landlocked. The only thing you could put there, in terms of an attraction, is another small animatronic show.

None of that applies to Jungle Cruise, which is why it would be fine to remove. It has almost no effect on the design of Adventureland; it would barely even be noticeable if it was gone (the treehouse would be a bigger loss from an Adventureland place-setting perspective).
That's why it's not comparable to Cars/Rivers of America (to bring it back to the topic of the thread). The Rivers of America is an integral part of the design of Frontierland and Liberty Square; it is a significant loss to the place-setting and design of the park.
It's possible they can design Cars in some way so that it doesn't significantly hurt Frontierland and Liberty Square, but the concept art they've shown doesn't really do that.

How about they remove the rivers from the Jungle Cruise, fill it in with uneven terrain and have the Cars ride go through the jungle environment.

(Or another DVC lounge.)
EDIT - Wait. Walt’s original idea for ETR was a table service restaurant with animatronic birds…

Would certainly be an improvement over the neutered JC of today, where instead of a big game hunter and his entourage getting chased up a tree by an angry rhino, we’ve got a bunch of hapless butterfly collectors and artists which doesn't have the same schadenfreude that made the original scene so effective.
“Unprepared idiots go into nature and bad things happen to them” really isn’t funny.
If it was, Chris "Into The Wild" McCandless would be a laugh riot.

Deep within an overgrown jungle lies a mysterious racing challenge where Lightning McQueen and racers test their metal in a timed skills course. This treacherous racing track weaves through dense tropical foliage and forces racers to navigate around rushing rivers and ancient ruins pushing even the most skilled drivers to their limits. Will the off-road vehicles master the terrain and emerge victorious, or will racers become the latest victim of the jungle's unforgiving quicksand, requiring a rescue from Mater himself?

Sounds like a retheme they might consider for Indiana jones adventure.
BREAKING: Disney Announces Innovative "Raiders of Radiator Springs" Concept for Tropical AmericasSounds like a retheme they might consider for Indiana jones adventure.
In a bold move to address looming economic challenges while maintaining creative momentum, Walt Disney World has revealed an unprecedented merger of two major expansion concepts. The newly announced "Raiders of Radiator Springs" project will combine elements from both the Tropical Americas and Carsland concepts into a single, innovative land at Animal Kingdom.
According to sources within Imagineering, this creative solution emerged from a series of intensive brainstorming sessions where designers were challenged to find synergistic solutions between the two previously separate projects. The result is a unique "tropical blend" that promises to deliver the action-adventure aspects of an Indiana Jones film while incorporating the family-friendly charm of the Disney-Pixar's Cars franchise.
Pueblo Esperanza will now feature Mater's Towing & Salvage integrated into the village's central hub, serving as both a themed restaurant and interactive play area. The former Indiana Jones themed attraction concept will be reimagined as "The Quest for the Golden Piston," where Lightning McQueen uncovers ancient automotive artifacts during a mysterious racing competition.
Flo's V8 Café will replace the planned hacienda restaurant, offering a unique fusion of Cars characters and tropical cuisine and beverages. Sponsored by V8 Splash Tropical Blend
Disney officials emphasize that this merger represents a strategic approach to the current economic climate:
By combining these concepts, we're able to create something entirely new while optimizing our investment. The merged approach allows us to maintain the excitement of our IPs while streamlining construction costs and operational overhead.

Not sure if this is worse than the rivers of America getting replaced or not.

Honestly, with all the stuff and closures happening, here’s my take.
This whole period seems like the ultimate “retheme/replace” moment for a while. If an older attraction survives this whole 5-10 year period of turbocharging without being completely rethemed (i.e. getting update/overhaul but still being the same attraction at the core) then there is a good, let’s say 80%-90% chance it lasts forever/a long time, at least to me.
i think that we are about to find out what attractions really are here to stay.

So you’re saying it’s now or never for figment?
And where is any proof to the contrary?
It has to be. It makes too much sense.

I wanna agree with this take but to be honest it seems like nothing is really here to stay at least not in its current form. All of the heavy hitters have been removed/changed or will probably be addressed in the coming years. Like the BTM refurb, TT update (again), Space Mountain update rumors and SSE update rumors, Dinosaur becoming Indy. Feels like 10 years from now everything will be different

I mean yeah Dinosaur, but the updates to SSE and TT are just things that happen. Not an out of the ordinary occurrence. And as much as I love them and don’t mind the roughness, I think the retrack rumors are kinda warranted.
I think you do have a point. I don’t expect much to be exactly the same. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing in every case. I sorta predict the model for remaining classics are gonna be updates every once in a while, but they’ll still be standing and at their core still
the same rides. As much as I’d love to see some older rides get what Tokyo is doing to their space, I don’t see it happening.
At the VERY least, and this is without insider ship, I think Mansion, Small World, Pirates, and the Mountains (in some form) will be there for the long haul.

Bringing it back to Cars, I hope the construction walls have viewports in them so we can watch the construction.
It will take many many years and since they are destroying such iconic areas of the park, Disney should own their poor decision and allow us to watch the progress of this 5 year destroy and replace project.

careful we already lost one, though like you said in some form, but we still lost one all together. Idiocy move on their part but we all know that. I don't trust them with the ones mentioned either. Not anymore sadly. The day is coming when they will probably add the characters into small world but there are worser things I guess.

This might be the biggest folly of this ride. One of the appeals of off-road rallying IS the speed, not just going over bumps.
This attraction might well end up being: "What if we made Test Track, but instead of the fast section everyone likes, it's all Belgian Blocks!"

This. I ride/race dirt bikes and have done plenty of off roading in any kind of vehicle you can imagine, and the thrill is in the speed and sense of danger. I seriously doubt this ride will offer anything close to that. Leaving the ruination of ROA aside, I just can't see how this will be anything other than "Kilamanjaro Safari without animals but slightly faster". Cosmic Rewind doesn't belong at Epcot but at least it is a fantastic ride on its own merits and works because of that. Maybe I'm wrong and it'll be another Disney classic but from everything we've been shown so far I'm convinced the ride system will be a complete and total flop.
