Except theh had to close ot for safety reasons, right? They couldn't get the parts to fix the attraction, so closed it officially during covid

The parts issue was lazy speculation from people who didn’t spend half a minute to confirm that Reverchon is actually still in business.
Don't underestimate the staffing shortages when it comes to a lot of the decisions that have been made recently. If you can't staff your current capacity how are you supposed to create more? I cannot believe that 13,000 people are going to magically appear in Orlando and want to work in theme park ops next summer. Those people are going to come from somewhere else.

It would be neat if they reused some old props from the Great Movie Ride for the Indiana Jones ride

Yeah, I always thought that the Indy scene felt like our east coast slice of IJA, so reusing elements of that scene in a full fledged IJA would be a cool way to come full circle

Seeing as we have Toy Story, Little Mermaid, Frozen, and BatB attractions in Studios despite their presence in other parks…
I doubt it.

I would be game for a newly themed stunt show ... a marvel property perhaps? of the few they are allowed to use.

But these would be two Indy attractions in the same park

Love the ride and always smile after. I just wish they had put it elsewhere. Would have been an amazing fit at HS

Stunts are in Studios, IJA would be in Animal Kingdom.

As it no longer feels like a Studios Park, I would be fine with the stunt show going away and something newer and better it's place...say, perhaps the entire Shanghai Pirates complex including the ride, with restaurant, a Pirates Village and the Pirates Stunt Show. It would fit in the space currently occupied by the Stunt Show and the Backlot Express...and is specifically matched to the film franchise....Then we could have two Pirates rides, but one specifically aimed at the films...and they could remove the Jack Sparrow bits from the original ride....

As much as I’d like it, with the reported two new reboots coming, I don’t think they’d go all in on sparrow anymore

Also would guests get confused?

Why would we have 2 PotC boat rides in the same resort? Doesn't make much sense

Why do we have 2 Toy Story interactive shooting dark rides in the same resort? Doesn’t make much sense.

What is confusing? One is classic POTC not related to the movies (if they remove Jack elements as suggested). The other is based directly on the movies and is a different experience.
I have long supported this very idea and think it would be great. The two rides are quite distinct and would compliment each other as different experiences and would be fine in the same resort.

Im not against that, I think the average guest might not. Heck, I’d like that, but I don’t think theyd do that wit them wanting to reboot the series.

Probably that they're both called Pirates of the Caribbean. Even when they had the Pirates exhibit at Hollywood Studios, it was called The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow
They can clone the technology, but they don't need to clone every international attraction for WDW
