Could definitely be something where Indy is in search of something and when he finds/takes it it awakens a Mayan God and elements of nature turn on him until he is able to put it back and "learns a lesson"

Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Golden Serpent

Deep within ancient Mesoamerican ruins lies the Temple of the Golden Serpent, the resting place of a fabled Aztec vessel believed to contain Quetzalcoatl's essence - the power to control the elements themselves...

It underperformed but was well-received by audiences and is a beloved classic today. Wish on the other hand underperformed and also had, at best, a lukewarm reception. Box office isn't the only factor in what makes a movie "good" or "deserving of park representation". Plenty of box office flops have attractions- Pinocchio, Fantasia, Alice in Wonderland... the list goes on. Princess and the Frog was also barely a profitable film when it released, and now it has one of the most popular rides (wait time wise) at the Disney parks.

People who didnt ride Splash Mountain are now not suddenly riding because of Tiana.

100% untrue. My niece wouldn't ride anything with any drops / thrills. Tiana is her favorite princess. She braved the drops for the new ride when she wouldn't before, and it's her new favorite. Now she's excited to go back to ride all of the other rides she was previously afraid of.

Encanto will always be a weird one when it comes to Box Office due to it only being in movie theatres for a month. It's the mech, the soundtrack streaming numbers and Disney+ views that have indicated its popularity

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.

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.

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...

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.

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)
