I did say rides. SpectroMagic / Wishes were really good; however shows and rides are not the same thing. They are also not E ticket rides or even have similar budgets. You are stretching sir. Again.

I actually had a similar idea where you enter The Monsters Inc factory lobby, pass Celia at her desk & choose your attraction, head left for The “Factory Tour” coaster or right for The Laugh Floor Comedy Club where you can help power the monster world with your laughter!

Magic Kingdom didn't really need new attractions at the time, especially since Disney built two new theme parks, two water parks, and most of the hotels on property. And, as you mentioned, Splash Mountain was built under Eisner, plus there was the Tomorrowland overhaul.
They also did a ton of work at EPCOT... it just mostly wasn't for the best and was worse than what it replaced, unfortunately.

He headed the only version of Tomorrowland that has ever been cohesive and successful at MK in that time. Plus, as mentioned, there was no shortage of things going on throughout the resort as it expanded.
The guy overhauled the Onsite Hotels that existed into attractions themselves and produced the Grand Floridian.
Resort wide, too many things to mention.

Actually now that I think about it, could they move over Laugh Floor and replace with Muppet Vision? I believe its a somewhat similar space, more so than some of the other theaters ive heard.

Could they move it? Yeah.
But they won’t.
The last thing we need is two (technically three) empty theaters at the entrance of Tomorrowland. That’s one abandoned building short of the World of Wall-E.

I'm living in an idealized reality. Over the last while, I feel like Tomorrowland has become very easy to fix and add to. Probably genuinely one of the easiest lands save for Fantasyland.
For the cost to move a theatrical show and get something less out of it, a budget can refresh to produce a much better version of the current show in its current theme park location. And you get a much better show out of where your dollars and other resources go.
If an attraction is moving anything more than a film, it has goals of being better/updated to be worth keeping.

Good thing for the on-site hotels. He changed the game. He also greatly modernized downtown Disney and made it better for guests of the time, with the pleasure island/general district overhaul. Quite a bit of it may not be there anymore, but he got the ball rolling for the springs to become what it is today. He also added blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon. He was one of the many important people who helped to transform wdw into the powerhouse and massive scale resort that we know and love today. I do know he DEFINITELY wasn’t perfect. Disneyland CA did kinda get screwed in its similar attempt at a “transformation” at the end of his tenure, and I’m sorry for that. They have mostly been trying to revert his mistakes there for the past 20-something years imo. Hopefully, with Disneyland forward, the second shot at it turns out better.
And I miss the tommorrowland 94. Best Tomorrowland ever.
Nah, I’m thinking 5th dimensionally….
Your 2nd point about a GE expansion is why I believe Monsteropolis doesn't go there. I actually don't think they can Star Tours at all. I think they find a way to retool the area during a GE expansion to make the ride vehicle fit somehow. Maybe it's not Star Tours anymore, but something else. MV3D is not long for this world. If it survives anymore than 5 years I'd be absolutely shocked, but I don't think this one is it.
I mean it seems tailor made for something marvel, especially with the potential to use MV3D as a show building for web slingers like they did with bugs, but they can’t in Florida. And with such little space between both places, and they can’t just demolish two restaurants like melrose and Rizzo, and potentially backlot express, would be bad for the park. What other ip could they put there.
Probably just another Star Wars thing. And while people say “keep muppetvision! It’s Jim’s last project!” I raise you this: I want it to happen, and think that could save it at most parks , even at some of the “no sacred cows” Disney world , but this is DISNEYS HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS, where all park nostalgia comes to die. We gotta look towards the future. Yes, it’ll suck to lose the original crew for the modern one, but smaller attractions, especially screen based ones, don’t really get the “gets to last forever” treatment anymore. I personally think the muppets have the stuff to live on at wdw in a new form, as they can do ANYTHING. magic kingdom is a good landing spot for our felty friends imo. Unfortunate as it is, Muppetvision just has too many external circumstances against it.

Assuming a GE expansion is even a consideration. It's already like 14 acres, and I'm not sure it moved the needle nearly as much as they expected/hoped.

The layout model is confusing is this a quad load/unload?

That's my perspective as well, just passing along information I was given.
With that being said, how much of an attendance and profit driver is Marvel for Universal? They can't change anything of substance so I imagine the debate is how much autonomy do they want vs. do they want to hand it back to Disney?
