unfortunately I don’t think any of those are near the hits Cars was/is.

Elemental was a huge success, and grew in popularity mainly be word of mouth compared to actual marketing, and the others with Luca had Disney+ streaming popularity

Cars is far from being a dated IP. It's in Disney's top 10 most profitable franchises, even as recent as last year. Up there with Marvel, Star Wars, Disney Princesses. Like it or not, Cars isn't going away anytime soon. It has proven to be relevant for almost 20 years.

Fair, but it just seems like Cars is in another tier from those franchises. I could be wrong though.

Oh god, no, please, not the ugly CalArts bean mouth style in animatronic form! It was bad enough it escaped 2D animation containment!

One thing is for sure. Disney is going to make TRUCKLOADS of MONEY from LL as a result of this REPLACMENT in MK, if it is indeed a functional and reliable attraction.
Walt said in Florida he had the blessing of size and he was absolutely correct.
Modern Disney leadership knows its CHEAPER and EASIER to DESTROY and REPLACE rather than expand.
The modern leadership will DESTROY and REPLACE in WDW as much as they can, regardless of how much land they have.
True "expansion" will happen here and there, but they much prefer the cheaper and faster, DESTROY and REPLACE.
For me the shock and anger is gone and I know Disney is doing what is BEST FOR DISNEY no matter what we say on these boards.
I am looking forward to see what we actually end up with here after all the cost cutting is done and I really do hope we end up with an reliable attraction and this does not end up like a Rocket Rod debacle.

That’s debatable. As far as I can tell…. Disney executives are doing what they want, because they believe they are right. That’s it.

Cars is pretty much brand new compared to other IP. Last year in Tokyo they opened a ride based on a movie from 1953

That and for those in Burbank everything has a dollar sign attached to it now more than it used to.
New attractions were built with how much attendance boost it did and the money that boost gave in ticket sales. Now new attractions are built with how much LL sales it will generate

Don't forget Tokyo DisneySea's Mysterious Island, based on the stories of Jules Verne, who died over a hundred years ago let alone wrote anything. It's an extremely expensive looking land, too.
(And absolutely amazing.)

I'll be honest, I prefer them to remove a fake river over the real woodland area behind Big Thunder & the train track we thought was going to get destroyed
