I still can't quite understand why they don't replace this attraction. It is not ADA compliant, it doesn't do much for guest capacity and it takes up a ton of room.

You're right that it's not ADA compliant and that it doesn't do much for guest capacity but relative to amost all other attractions, it takes up very little space and also works as a fantastic set piece for Adventure Land, even if you never go up it.

If they were to remove this, what do you think would go in its place that would fit the tropical theme? A building of some sort to make the jungle look less like a jungle?

What would this building house? A Gift shop? A very small restaurant?

Certainly, you wouldn't be expecting a high-capacity 1-2 story attraction of a different sort to fit in this space, would you?

On most days, this thing requires zero staffing - even at the entrance so aside from the refubs, I don't think it's taking much away from anyone in terms of budget, or potential for anything else that could go in the space so why not just live and let live on this one?

The treehouse was one of the "wonders of Walt Disney World" when it opened... a man made tree of this scale. it was and still is to this day a spectacular set piece and design triumph. With the Jungle Cruise next door, there is really nothing else that would fit that space.
They already removed the other Wonder of Walt Disney World (20k Sub Lagoon)...There should be no reason to remove this spectacular place-setting work of art.
