People raving for Indy over Countdown to Extinction is just one examplewhere that would point to the opposite being the case.
The thrill is just one aspect. A fallback in those case.

I like Indy more then CTE (and CTE more then Dinosaur) but they are both great rides and rides I try to do multiple times when I’m in their parks.

I don’t think anyone really knows other than those in management at Disney. I’ve read those same rumors but I’ve also read rumors that Disney is taking from from other projects (such as why Tron is walled up) to work on retheming Splash. So honestly, I don’t think you’ll get any for sure answers on here.
I believe WDW retheming depends on OLC because the two are pretty much the same and TDO wanted OLC to split the retheme cost. If I'm not wrong, OLC is still against PaTF

Where have you heard rumors? @marni1971, rebuttal?
Nothing, but I’ve not asked if you know what I mean.

Well, there's this tweet from back in September:
There are also some posts about the status of the retheme on this very site:
Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion
ToT may be an exception only because of the ride’s popularity that really stemmed from the DHS original. Fans don’t care about what happens over at DCA, for the most part. It’s Disneyland that is deemed sacred and untouchable. I think we must move in very different circles. My friends and...

I am likely to be announcing the biggest news/rumors I will ever make in this thread (at least, I hope so). As a preface to this information, please remember that this information should be treated as RUMOR. I cannot verify that any of the following information is true in part or in whole. You...

News - Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure
Ugh, I love Tangled but that would've been even worse than a Princess and the Frog retheme. Wouldn't have fit in Critter Country or Frontierland in the slightest.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, though.
They’ve announced plenty before and mentioned it multiple times before it’s disappeared forever.
Granted, it is most likely wishful thinking, but it has happened before.

Not when Disney has proven themselves to be committed to really scrubbing their parks of anything racially charged. With more and more family orientated companies already seeming to be follow Disney's lead, I think it kinda really forces Disney to uphold their commitment. Sure they might start with smaller moves such as JC and PP, but I would be shocked if this doesn't happen. In this context, think wishful thinking is a kinder way of saying delusional.

I agree, but just to play devils advocate, what has actually changed so far? Plenty of announcements but no actual action yet.

It’s happening...in my opinion everyone saying otherwise is wasting time. Regardless of how everyone feels about it.

Well, then I guess the financial problems that will happen as a result of this are but a small price to pay for looking good in front of the eyes of people on Twitter.

How many times does it need to be proven that this was approved way before anyone on twitter said anything?

Developed and approved are not the same thing. This project was almost certainly not approved well before its announcement given that Disney admitted to having not done any due diligence in assessing the state of the ride facilities prior to the announcement. That doesn’t mean the idea came from Twitter as legal would not allow it to happen, but something triggered a rushed approval without any actual details.How many times does it need to be proven that this was approved way before anyone on twitter said anything?
