Hmm. Based on where Carsland will be located here's the best Cars 4 pitch I could muster:

Lightning McQueen and Mater embark on a camping trip adventure across the national parks. They encounter wild off-road rally cars who challenge them to competitions. Facing trials like steep climbs and treacherous trails, Lightning gets lost. There in the wilderness he discovers a hidden world of mythical vehicles a.k.a. monster trucks with extraordinary abilities. These vehicles teach him about being resourceful with nature -- honing skills needed to get him back to base camp. Meanwhile, Mater enlists the help of his new off-road friends to organize a rescue mission. Lightning is eventually found and the two are reunited. The duo return to Radiator Springs to share their unbelievable camping story.

As long as a the bad guy is a giant camping RV voiced by the Pete voice actor, I’m so in.

Oh for sure! A Winnebago.
Tired of sharing his surroundings with other campers and obnoxious off-road racers, Cliff devised a sinister plan, to transform into the park's mythical Wendigo monster to intimidate and scare off the would-be campers. And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that meddling Mater.

Personally, recently, I'm more surprised when I find out that Disney is NOT currently working on a sequel/live action remake of a movie... (they never seem to want to give us the live action remake/sequals that we really want though... like live action Atlantis or a sequel to Sky High...)

To be fair Disney fans seem to only like sequels or love action remakes of popular films. Most of the new IP has failed to get any response from Disney fans.

True. I can't think of one Pixar film since Toy Story 4 that is currently deserving of a sequel, based off fan response.

And the existence Toy Story 5 is all the proof you need for my point above.

I would've gone to see Wish if it didn't look like a dumpster fire. And everyone who saw it didn't say it was a dumpster fire. Then it turned out to be a dumpster fire.

Maybe they could try not making dumpster fires.

Is that so? Legitimately asking. How do you know this? What do the ratings say, @lentesta?

It's true in our surveys. Tiana's Bayou Adventure is in the top tier of attraction ratings in the Magic Kingdom.

Tiana's weighted rating is virtually identical to Splash's, and on the same level as 7 Dwarfs Mine Train, Big Thunder Mountain, and TRON Lightcycle / Run.

A big part of my feeling about the parks since all these D23 announcements is that maybe the parks just aren't for me anymore. Who knows, maybe Disney does know their audience and nowadays it is one that cares most about seeing recognisable movies and tv shows brought to life and sees this as 'theming' more than the approach to theming upon which the parks were originally built?

I have my doubts about this as it raises the question of why the Magic Kingdom-style parks have remained so popular while leaning so heavily on all this storytelling about which guests apparently don't care. Either way, I am increasingly feeling that as what made these parks such cultural touchstones disappears I am just not the audience for them.

I missed this before; sorry I'm so tardy in commenting.

I totally agree, and that's probably why I haven't been to WDW in 4 years. We used to go every year...

Well, it's new. Of course it has heavy traffic. Also, it's a long ride, so people like it for that.

and frankly…Tiana’s has never been a popular IP.

Eh…. She holds her own. I often ask people what their favorite Disney movie is (small talk for a Disney adult haha) and I hear princess and the frog a decent amount.

Nothing they could possibly do in a movie could make the concept of Cars in Frontierland not stupid.

If they did vintage cars (model t’s etc.) maybe….. but nothing with modern cars no.

It's not cars, though, it's Cars. No one who likes Cars wants to see that.

I'm so tired of attractions where they need to twist into pretzels and write a novella and the audience has to tilt their heads, cross their eyes, cover one ear, and forget what words mean in order for it to kinda sorta fit.

Can't we just have stuff that actually works?
