I’ve heard blood on the saddle is staying in some form so that alone will make it funny if true.

No, I've not heard anything aside from what has been publicly marketed. My complaint was that nothing they've shown so far indicates it would be comedy-focused. I hope I am wrong though.

I relate to the concern. At this point, I'm willing to see what they come up with because I don't think you can really say yet what they are doing when it comes to jokes, but my main concern is that Disney in recent years can't seem to figure out how to be funny that well. I think they will try to have humor here but that it will ultimately end up being less engaging than the original show. And, if I can be so bold, I think part of my concern is because Disney seems determined to make sure anything is as completely inoffensive as possible, but this can be detrimental for good humor. Like, I don't think they would introduce the Rizzo "they're tourists, what do they know?" joke in this day and age for fear of someone going to guest services about it.

When was the last time a new Disney attraction contained something genuinely funny? Disney used to be great at this. Pirates, HM, WoM, Splash, Kitchen, etc -all contained a bunch of great gags. Muppets is genuinely hilarious. Bears used to be very, very funny.
The humor in Guardians, a very funny movie series, is shockingly weak. Drax has one or two mildly amusing lines, but that’s thanks entirely to Bautista’s skill and the audience’s pre-existing fondness for the characters. I know this is heresy, but the last addition with some successful humor I can think of was Tiki Room: Under New Management, and that was over 25 years ago and featured two of the greatest comedians of the era.

I mean, when you’re working with IP where the source material generally isn’t all that funny or only has a comic relief character or two, that’s generally what you’ll end up with.

Star Tours: the Adventures Continue is pretty funny.

Radiator Springs Racers (and I suppose Cars Land as a whole since there's plenty of gags in the buildings) has some genuine funny moments. Mystic Manor and Grizzly Mountain as well definitely do. Unless we're referring to dialog-specific humor as opposed to visual gags.

The Frozen Sing Along. I mean it. The narrators are hilarious. I go every time just for that. And, oh, A/C for 45 minutes on hot days.

This is a good answer, though I don’t fully agree. ST is really, really great - I think it’s the best SW ride at the parks - and does have some genuinely funny moments, but I think overall the original was funnier.

I think Come Again is confirmed to stay as well as Gomer’s piano intro because both were featured during the announcement. After listening to the country-fied ‘Try Everything,’ I’m a bit indifferent. The meat of the song itself actually sounds pretty good, but I found the ‘Oh Oh Oh’ parts to be pretty jarring

I utterly adore RSR, but I can’t remember anything particularly funny about it. I was mostly thinking of the American parks - still, MM is absolutely a masterpiece and funny to boot, but it’s SUCH an anomaly for modern Disney. What is the Imagineering team that designed MM doing now? What else did they do?

It depends on whether someone finds Mater and his antics funny. I think he's quite funny in the first movie and RSR at least. The tractor tipping always gets a chuckle from me personally, and some of his lines at the end are also funny to me.

While not radiator springs racers in particular (which I do think is an excellent attraction) I always find something to laugh at when visiting Cars Land. Maybe it’s Maters jamboree (the petting zoo!), maybe it’s at cosy cone, or maybe the dancing cars but that land in general ALWAYS makes me smile.

Back in 94 when Circle Of life an Environmental Fable came out it brought out this little MST3k-ish gem..

I don't mind Mater at all, but I find Cars Land more whimsical then funny. Which is great - unlike TBA, it's SOMETHING.
My husband is not a Disney Parks guy, but he laughs anytime he tells people about Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree (which he calls Larry the Cable Tractor), I think his favorite part is Larry trying to do safety announcements in heavily (hick) accented Spanish. It’s a ridiculous concept.
I also found Mulholland Madness to be funny (and Seasons of the Vine, though I’m pretty sure that was unintentional humor?) but I’m guessing the humor didn’t translate well if you didn’t spend much time actually driving on Mulholland.

Called it!
Side note, I think it's a lost cause not having Trixie singing "I won't say I'm in love" with bunny bubbles and beula being the muses
