I'm ... still really confused about what exactly you're saying because there seem to be so many tangential points you're bringing up. I'm just pointing out that the ride type is not oversaturated in WDW, so I wouldn't see a problem with adding more trackless rides. I also don't see the two I've been on as terribly similar. As for where they should go next, I don't care as long as it makes sense with the content of the ride and the associated IP. This topic happens to be about a ride where I think it makes sense for reasons I listed previously.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing?

Mystic Manor and Pooh's Hunny Hunt are the two best overall (well, and Rise, but that's different because the setting lends itself to large open rooms), but even they have a couple of warehouse scenes. They're nowhere near as bad as some of the others, though.

I am agreeing. I mentioned MM because that one has a few spaces where the vehicles split or dance around eachother, but also a big part where they follow eachother as an omnimover. Imo a good use of the system. Hunny Hunt is also great ofcourse.

But, is this anything a busbar or wire-guided system can't do? As @Sirwalterraleigh points out above, it's not the ride vehicle that's important, it's the story and the experience being presented. Love what's going on overseas: Mystic Manor, BatB, because you are immersed in the story. Yeah, they do involve some screens. But, they're blended with the background and are not major players. When Rat is finally open, I think that will be it's main issue: Screens front and center. Compare that to other dark rides. it's more TSMM than it is BatB.

If there were 8 in Florida...it would be a joke.

I think you could maybe add one in DAK and then move on

I think the ride system would fit well for a chaotic Alice in Wonderland ride. That would require the ride paths to feel a bit more random.

But they kind of boxed themselves in with the FLE. I guess that’s a whole separate issue.

Agree…that is the perfect property. I think inside out would work well too…kinda family friendly modern version of body wars.

a big AA bing bong as the centerpiece? Yeah…that is WDI worthy

The only issue with Inside Out is that the film isn’t very “location-centric”. There isn’t much in the way of memorable set pieces. Which would force the Imagineers to come of with some cool original things on their own. Explore sections of the brain that weren’t covered in the film. That sounds like it could be a really cool attraction. But when was the last time they did that with an existing franchise? There’s only so much you can do with long corridors that are filled with colored balls.
