Tied between Nightmare and Jungle Book. With the most recent Jungle Book movie, and rumors of a new Nightmare movie, I could see potential for both! In all honesty, if time could be turned back and we were still faced with a ToT make-over, I would take a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay instead of GoTG every single time.

There's only one place for The Black Hole, the Stitch space in MK. Can you imagine seeing a Maximillian AA and the Roddy McDowel robot with the two big eyes?

Nightmare before christmas! The worlds are super cool and immersive already. Would make for a fun peter pan style dark ride.

How about Lilo and Stitch? Stitch deserves a proper ride. A good one.
Assume we’re talking strictly Orlando here.

The Nightmare Before Christmas will always get my vote though It would be better positioned somewhere in DHS as I am not certain as to where it would fit thematically in MK and I would not like to see the Holiday overlay done in DLR in WDW.

Excluding my vote on the poll, (Nightmare) here are my picks, as well as some location ideas:
Zootopia (Of course, since it’s my all-time favorite) - I was originally thinking DAK, but then I realized that really wouldn’t fit with the theme. My current choice for the location of this one is DHS, hopefully complete with a mini-land expansion (like what Shanghai is getting but stateside)
Indiana Jones (Just port the ride over from Disneyland) - DHS, replacing the stunt show
The Incredibles - DHS, where Pixar used to be
Wreck It Ralph - Magic Kingdom, specifically Tomorrowland, where SGE used to be (Although not sure how well that space would lend to a dark ride)
Edit: I know this is highly unlikely, (at least stateside) but I think a dark ride based off the Kingdom Hearts franchise would be absolutely amazing. As for location: If we’re talking about stateside parks, I think the MK would be a good choice, especially Fantasyland with its own little section. While we’re at it, let’s port it over to Tokyo Disneyland as well, as the games are very popular over there.

As in Kingsman: The Secret Service? I would be interested in seeing how Disney could boil that down to a family friendly ride.
Me too.

The only one I really think feasible is Tangled or maybe Jungle Book, because the rest are a bit old.
While I'm sure they could turn any movie into a thrill-ish ride, as they did with Song of the South. Dark rides are generally more suited to characters that are currently popular with the under age 12 crowd.
Unless, of course, Disney makes more live action remakes.
For Tangled though, I think you'd want something more unique than a classic dark ride. Maybe something slightly like Buzz, but instead of hitting targets with a gun, riders have to find certain symbols with a wand to make them glow.

I feel 101 and lady would be cheaply done almost like a retelling ala little mermaid so I have fears there.
Cinderella where the ride vehicles dance on a ballroom floor using trackless technology would be cool
the rescuers would be cool if your ride vehicle was this....

That is a hard choice! I would love to see Tangled because the scene at the end with all the floating lamps would be breathtaking. I think Jungle Book could be amazing with the new technologies they have for the animatronics, but it would be somewhat similar to Jungle Cruise, so on one hand I'd say it would make a great replacement, but then on the other hand I don't want to replace the Jungle Cruise! I also think a Moana dark ride could be amazing. It could even be done on the water like Pirates of the Caribbean.
