I think my biggest issue with the Indiana Jones ride is the same issue I have with Splash, Frozen at Epcot and Guardians at DCA. The physical ride and experience remains the same - for half the budget - they could seriously plus the experience and end up with something truly great. But they spend all the money and resources on tearing down and rebuilding and we get something “eh” as a result
You've nailed the main concern I have with the pending Indy ride. I'm hoping I'm wrong but I'm ready to see a few densely populated scenes surrounded by foliage and screens in between them. Oh, and leaving most of DINOSAUR's sets and just repainting them to vaguely fit a new setting. Seems to be Disney's MO when retheming attractions these days.

Have you ever seen dinosaur with the lights on. You basically just described most of the current ride. Dinosaur barely has “sets” to begin with. It’s almost entirely empty rooms and foliage with the occasional animatronic, prop, or screen.

Maelstrom was value engineered trash. So is Gran Fiesta

yeah, I get the negative comparison of Tiana's to Splash of feeling empty (at least at parts) but there is very little to Dinosaur.

That doesn't mean Indy will be amazing or even better but they would almost have to take it as a challenge to have less content than the current ride

Maelstrom was an advertisement for Norwegian Cruise Lines. The troll story was incomprehensive garbage to get you to the end of the ride where the real story began: NCL sales pitch
It wasn't garbage to the masses nor was it strictly an advertisement to any cruise line, it had a consortium of backing, it was more or less a advertisement for the Norwegian Tourist Board, but your entitled to your opinion of hating it.

Yeah I did hate it. Lol. Frozen isn't any better, but at least the kids love it.

"Hey kids, why are there oil rigs over there after the trolls high on shrooms pushed us backwards?"

"There were there trolls pushing the boat backwards?"

"I guess so, I really wasn't paying attention to the stupidity of this thing."

"This sure is a great infomercial there making us watch..."

Ugh
Let's get a $6 Mickey bar and go over to American adventure.

At least Dinosaur has animatronics. Disney doesn't do animatronic-heavy attractions anymore, we're probably gonna wind up with one or two Indiana Jones animatronics that do nothing but stand there flailing their arms, maybe an animatronic of the mythological creature he'll be facing off against, and that's it.
