This might be true but 99% of people reading it don't know that. And that's what the issue is, from Disney's perspective. All they will see is Disney ripping out a gorgeous natural landscape from their most attended park to put in a cartoon Cars ride.
I agree with your sentiment on this project. But her articles are badly written and steal things from other sources or in this case from message boards and twitter accounts.

I see a lot of links to sources of information in the article. What was stolen?
I said this article appears to merely take online posts. Most articles take more. Now I can’t remember whether that was because she did that intentionally or if it’s because of AI which takes from multiple articles across the internet (the discussion about this in the box office thread was a while ago) but they do take from other articles.

Now we know where she gets her antipathy from...

"Nobody wants this to replace Rivers of America," wrote the incisive theme park industry commentator WDWPro....WDWPro and the other expert pundits at ThatParkPlace

LOL


That being said:
  • The clickbait title is wrong in implying the $17B was just for Cars.
  • Why does such an article need to tell the entire story of Disney parks starting with Disneyland? I'll tell you... fill her quota of words. Since this phrase: "many fan don't like RoA being replaced with a Cars IP ride" isn't enough words for a paycheck, she adds a history lesson. I hope Forbes enjoys spending money on a article written like a high school Freshman padding their homework because of a requirement to make their essay three pages long.
  • It's not *IRONIC* that Disney is replacing a ride after Iger boasting about so much space. Iger never promised that using that space (which they are for Villains Land) precludes replacements. The actual sentiment counts, not the way people twist it to declare BETRAYAL!
To be fair to this author, she surprisingly relays fairly the other sides of this brouhaha. But she uncritically accepts all sides' points of view. At least she met her word-quota.

It’s weird how suddenly Forbes is almost looked at as the National Enquirer and former star imagineers credibility is questioned when the information goes against the Disney duster narrative. We are all wrong folks. All of us here. All the old imagineers. All the credible sources in that article. We just hate change and have no idea what we’re talking about.

There is and always has been a massive gulf between the Forbes newsroom / editorial staff and Forbes contributors. Calling into question the latter doesn't mean the former is disreputable.
