Reviving defunct rides

A common topic is reminiscing over old attractions we were able to ride that have since been lost, always replaced by something brand new, but for some reason I was just thinking about Adventure Thru Inner Space (DLR, I know) and I realized... It was kind of a screen ride of its day, with some neat effects (for its time) and pretty unimpressive static props. I think they could bring that back using modern tech relatively inexpensively, maybe similar to NRJ, and discoveries made since then about subatomic particles like boson, fermions and quarks and make a pretty good omnimover dark ride that cashed in on park nostalgia and it would actually fit well, I think, in Tomorrowland.

Does anyone know if reviving a past ride like this has ever been proposed internally? It would essentially be a brand new ride using the original as inspiration. Maybe like CoP was for Horizons? Or I suppose even more directly, Mission: Space from Rocket to the Moon/Mission to Mars. What other rides from the past do you think could be revived, or inspire a new ride, using modern technology? The more I think about it the more I want to see a new Inner Space!

One of the attractions considered for WestCOT was an updated and expanded successor to Adventures Through Inner Space that not only looked at the smaller particles of the world but also the sheer vastness of the universe.

They built this instead
