At this point even throwing in a flat ride like an X Wing spinning ride to GE would go a long ways
Theatre of The Stars is simply not built to be able to have a show that is any more technically complex than what is already there, at least in its current configuration. There's a reason why the current tenant has stayed as long as it has, and it is because it is one of these simplest shows, technically speaking, Disney could possibly put on without going back to a Kids of the Kingdom style show, which could possibly happen if they ever wanted to abandon a specific IP tiein. Very little space for storage from what I've been told. Indy? You could bulldoze that place and build a mini-land.This could be true. I find it interesting because this short term add seems like something unheard of. I guess it could be the mermaid show returning as that's technically adding back capacity that's been missing for years but that feels a bit incongruent with this idea of monsters or potentially something more substantial coming to Animation Courtyard down the line. And there's no need to talk about that as if it were a rumor since it's been officially announced.
There were pre-pandemic talks of show replacements in the BatB and Indy theatres but if revived those wouldn't be new capacity, just replacements. My gut thinks this means a ride of some kind, I just have no idea what or where.
I kind of feel like they would have done that already if they were going to. It seems like that show is going to stay forever, which, for my money, it can! It's very entertaining and informative. I don't know what the recent attendance figures are for it, though. Paging @lentestaIndy? You could bulldoze that place and build a mini-land.

From the other thread that may be relevant to this one.Simpsons rumors have a lot going on. Worth noting when they pop up.
That’s the post.
What are the options, assuming we’e not getting a brand new fancy ride?From the other thread that may be relevant to this one.
Sell off all the fox animation IPs and use the $$ to build something with an IP that actually feels like “Disney”.What are the options, assuming we’e not getting a brand new fancy ride?
Star Tours overlay. I doubt they would, since that’s essentially what the Universal ride is. (I wish Universal would bring back Back to the Future but I digress).
Bart and Lisa’s Dance Party?
Rock ‘n’ Roller coaster featuring the Simpsons?
If it is the Simpsons it has to be something new, surely? There aren’t many other options available.
Since the rumor is something quick and easy, my first guess would just be exactly what The Magic of Disney Animation was (minus the animators). They could throw together an exhibit about the Simpsons, something to put in the theater, and a meet & greet.What are the options, assuming we’e not getting a brand new fancy ride?

The Racing Academy seems like something that never really took off, $30M could go a long way to bring something better there… Bluey?Obviously not happening, but they could do worse than bring back the old Hunchback show.
Trade the simpsons back to Universal in exchange for the rights of the Avengers in Florida.Sell off all the fox animation IPs and use the $$ to build something with an IP that actually feels like “Disney”.
No one even recalls of the very short lived Bluey Scavenger Hunt at Ft Wilderness that came last November and disappeared with a blink of an eye..The Racing Academy seems like something that never really took off, $30M could go a long way to bring something better there… Bluey?
I think it's taking the same route how Peppa Pig's popularity made a small park outside by Legoland and has many different attractions with the characters as they did announce a small park being built in Australia..It wouldn't be too long if they eventually bring something over with the Heelers in the same idea..Bluey is one of the most lucrative IPs Disney might have access to (its probably some signatures away) and it's boggling to see them basically refuse to sign paperwork regarding getting that brand in the parks
