Fair enough! My point was that a rides IP shouldn’t be based on its box office success. Princess and the Frog “flopped” but was given an E-Ticket to inhabit.

To add on what you said, I think Disney does really forgive Encanto in terms of success as while it only made about $250 million in the box office (iirc), its popularity especially with the soundtrack and Disney+ makes it honestly a big success in Disney's eyes seeing as it got a few things in the parks and the rumors of a sequel happening in the future, I don't think Disney consider it a failure at all and I can see why they're putting in the parks a lot.

What we consider Disney's old classic rides, most were not based on ip at all... Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Small World, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Space Mountain, Big Thunder......All E tickets.... Snow White's Scary Adventures, Peter Pan, Mr Toad...C and D tickets... The IP Mandate is making sure that WDW willl never again have any original ride ideas...

You cant spell synergy without ip...... er.... well, you know what I mean
besides, Disney doesn't care as long as they are using IPs

I agree, but that doesn't seem to be the way Disney sees it. Otherwise we would have gotten that Atlantis retheme of Disneyland's Submarine Voyage.
We'd probably also have gotten something based on The Good Dinosaur in Dinoland USA, for that matter.
Well, there's a pretty big reason for that, but I won't say it here because I know it's going to result in a lot of people arguing over why they gave it said E-Ticket and whether or not that was a good thing.
Funny thing is, The Princess and the Frog wasn't even a flop. It just didn't do as well as Disney was hoping.

We are now talking about TBA in both the Cars-Themed Attractions thread AND the Encanto thread. That's a sign there is a problem with TBA.
And possibly a problem with us.

I recall a statement a bit ago about how some IP they view as "franchises" and those are the ones they are investing in. So isn't just about the box office of a single movie but where they think there are more stories and they extend beyond the films (becomes internet trends, etc)
So Moana, Zootopia, Encanto, Frozen, Lion King are ones they see as that (some examples)

I don't mean this in a rude way and please don't take this with any personal offence to everybody here, but I think there kind of is a problem with both TBA and us
Quick, bring it to the Katiebug thread! And the one about the yeti for good measure!

How about a ride where you drive a Multi-Troop Transport crushing as many trees and animals as possible. After the ride, they show you how much ecological damage you've caused.
At the last moment they've switched to a CARS theme it seems

Sources comes from a website I can't put here for some reason
Seems like they might be doing some utility work right now, though I'm curious to see what's going on in the backstage area as it does look like they're focusing on clearing that out for the Encanto showbuilding

Now that Epic is in previews, he can move on to this and the Cars projects.

I think it's cause we can't talk about TBA in the Tiana threads. OT or some such nonsense.
And ospreys.
