Possible they could axe the M&G and squeeze something like Jessie's critter carousel, or a dumbo clone in one of these 2 spots... but it would be tight and only something DLR seems to do

I think the Bantha ride thing was going in they yellow area. It's not a ton of space.
If anything I think they should expand towards Starcruiser and demo'ing it or absorb it into Galaxy's Edge for multiple use cases: restaurant, lounges, day time experiences and some of the areas they could utlilize as queue space for another E ticket or two, like they did with UoE for CR.

I think that first spot is the entrance to Rodeo Roundup BBQ. TSL seems like the most logical place thematically to add another flat ride as it's supposed to be themed to a child-made amusement park in Andy's Backyard, right, with the rollercoaster, midway games and pre-made pizza planet toy that looked like a ride
That is indeed tight. Very tight.
Also, the BBQ Rodeo has claimed a bit of the space....
And a free walking Bantha ride doesn't take up a lot of space?
The Bantha ride was a concept that was DOA. It combined a slow, lumbering, oversized ride vehicle with ultra low capacity and unproven people-carrying mechanical 'walking'. If it were ever to have been greenlit, ops would have strangled it in its sleep.

The idea of something that took you around the area makes sense - feels like some parts of the land, especially in the resistance forest area, are underused .... But the specifics of that attraction would not have worked well

I do not but "I felt there should be something built, Some kind of amusement enterprise built where the parents and the children could have fun together"- The literal founder of the Company that bears his name while sharing none of his vision.

Maybe, but I don't think it's a wise decision to build entire lands that only appeals to one demographic. Especially when they look as cheap and hideous as TSL.

Where did you get the updated sat shot? Google earth doesn't have the bbq yet.

They're hiding the most recent for some reason.

Andy had to collect tooth fairy money for a long time, to be fair.
It's just going to attract giant AA ants taking food off of our plates.

After this they just need a proper meet and greet location for the characters and then the land would be mostly OK
They could pretty easily reconfigure the Toy Story Mania queue to give the characters at least a shaded area to greet guests. The outdoor portion of that queue is never fully utilized. One of the two shaded sections could be repurposed.
