Does anyone know what is currently being rumored to be put here? I’ve heard Cars, Zootopia, and Villians, so what’s happening?

Yes. Perhaps.

Me thinks you severely underestimate Swifties.
Having paid 1k plus per ticket to take my daughter to the concert, then 40 bucks each to watch the concert in theaters, to 40 bucks for a local swiftie concert with a swift impersonator with 7 of my daughters friends...
She would absolutely have us book a trip for the day this ride opened, whatever the cost. And she wouldn't be alone.

Her latest album makes it plain as day that she is pushing for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Charlie Puth.

I keep thinking how perfect the Streets of America would’ve been for something Marvel related. Since they couldn’t have used the Avengers, maybe Daredevil or Dr. Strange?

Daredevil should be fair game...
...if it weren't for the R-Rated series based on him.
Maybe what Disney needs to do is create an animated series: Defender Babies

I know everyone will hate this, but hear me out.
When the Fox deal happened there was pressure from management to use some of those properties in the parks. But we haven't seen any integration beyond a NatGeo photo op at Animal Kingdom and a teased Avatar expansion to Disneyland/DCA.
If that pressure still exists, the best location for a Fox based land or attraction (other than Avatar) is probably DHS. Universal's deal for the Simpson's rights is coming to an end in 2028. The show is one of the most viewed properties on Disney+. There are a ton of opportunities for merchandise and food/beverage sales. The aesthetic of the show is cheap to replicate on a theme park scale.
There are so many lands and attractions I'd rather see at DHS, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if this expansion ends up being a Simpsons land. It's a decision I could see happen if imagineering continues to be driven by metrics and numbers from the c-suite.

Disney has more IP than they could ever have enough property to turn into attractions if they wanted.... Why would they disregard the vast catalog they already currently own that is associated with the Disney brand and start using IP that is not considered part of the Disney brand?
Simpsons worked in Universal... they did it already.... there is no need to have a Disney version....

I agree completely
It would be an illogical decision from a creative and brand management perspective.
The question is whether the c-suite is still under pressure to justify their decision to purchase Fox and whether that pressure will manifest in putting Fox properties into the Disney Parks (the most profitable part of the company). If that's the case then it's unavoidable, some Fox property will end up in one of these parks.
Hopefully that pressure no longer exists, there is no Rio proposal for the Tropical Americas Animal Kingdom expansion, something that would make more thematic sense (again I don't want this).
I don't want Simpsons to happen, I just wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

Don't give them any ideas!
After the dreaded Treasure Planet box office dud, Eisner gutted the Animation dept and a number of them got laid off.
I find that hard to believe that nationwide - so many office buildings are vacant due to remote work.
Which is why flooding the zone with Moana is an interesting choice

The Simpsons does marvelous merch/F&B wise at UOR... you don't think Disney is jealous? lol
I'm not expecting an attraction whatsoever at WDW... but a retheme of something like Backlot Express into a F&B area is doable...
Heck, a retheme of Pixar Place into Springfield can do well there with a few M&G's, Lard Lad Donuts kiosk, and a Duff Brewery.

I could definitely see a presence at Disney Springs if Universal let's go of the IP when their contract runs out.

I do not want anything Simpsons-related in the parks, but I could totally see Disney doing it.
