The randomness makes rerides awesome for Star Tours. We often ride it 2 or 3 times in a row to get different locations. I often cite it as why having randomization with screen rides is so much better than just one set thing.
MFSR and FOP would be definitely improved with different random profiles.

Would love instead to see them build an "underwater" dark ride in the style of Tokyo's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . . .
(Or a true Submarine Voyage in the style of WDW's extinct 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but I know better than to dream that big)

I do think though that if they are investing money in Pandora, that a third ride would be a better use than adding a new profile to FOP. even just a “walk through” animal trail attraction would be a good addition.
It would also be cool to be able to get a dozen Pandoran oysters at the canteena.

Terrible idea. NRJ is a fantastic C ticket.
Plus AK doesn't need to replace decent attractions; they need additions.
And not Moana.

Can we please get our musicians and actors back in the land first?

I'd rather see a new attraction built rather than updating Flight of Passage. An update to Flight of Passage could be fine if they went with the Star Tours treatment, but I don't see that happening.

That's great. I am not saying that it can't be enjoyed, but the stats have not greatly increased ridership. Most people do not think to take advantage of it.
By definition Smugglers Run should have the most.rerideability but the guest impact is not what was promised. That is an example of how variables(and in that case, expected guest interactivity) does not really pay off.
A lot of people feel they spent so much on tweaking Star Tours to the point where some.lf the best endings were lessened.
That would be great. Execs are really.gojng to have to pull their heads out of their love park entertainment hating blind spots first.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the point of that was he was supposed to be a "real" scientist and not an actor so... not great in front of the camera.
Now, if they managed to achieve that effect in the minds of their audience is, uh, another thing.

But if they're in a board room talking about it how is that going to go?
"For fifteen million, we can update FOP and create better synergy with the new movies helping feed the virtuous circle or we can spend half a billion dollars on adding a new ride. What do you think, guys?"
Ideally, they'd do both, though.
I'd say both in making sure it continues to stay that way and also, to stay connected to the current state of the franchise.
Depending on what happens in this next movie (or the one after, or the one after that, depending on how things go) there could be fundamental changes to the environment or the relationship with the humans on the planet that would date the existing experience as-is...
Cameron would be someone who already knows if that's the case.
Today, a lot of people ride the ride who really don't remember the move or never even saw it and there seems to be this feeling that the ride works, even without people understanding it's connection to an IP but that's in part because a decent chunk of riders hadn't even been born yet when that first movie came out and we didn't hear a ton about it in the the following decade.
Depending on how this movie lands, that could all change.
... or not.

Why no coasters? There is only 1 in AK right now

The update to FOP sounds nice, but I'd rather see an expansion of the land with at least two more, quality attractions being built. AK needs more attractions and this land would be a great place to start.

That would be sick! FOP is my fave ride of all-time so it would be the cherry on top to get more versions!!

Great, if we move at the same pace as Star Tours it should be ready to go in about 15 years!

Preshows would have to all be updated as well
Let Cameron pay for it with movie profits
