No. They think Jimmy Hoffa could be buried there so they are going to excavate it.

Way more exciting than a MMRR replica available in the same continent

Do you think we’ll have a photo pass opportunity like this?? Would be glorious

This is the way I see it. They know what it will cost and how it will be received, even how much downtime to expect. Yes technically a cut and pasted clone of a short pretty ride, but still worthwhile for the fans. Don't underestimate the aesthetic, the positive addition to the atmosphere so many here talk about so often.
Yes we want something new and different! Lots of new rides that are all innovative. But there are going to be big expensive boondoggles along the way, rides that break down a lot. Guardians seems to have very few issues, Rise not so much, both are new-ish concepts. There's nothing wrong with just building a ride sometimes.

How did cramped DL get SWGE and MMRR without replacing anything other than a goat while “blessing of size” WDW was unable to build anything new at DHS without replacing an existing attraction? What use is the blessing of size if you don’t use it? WDW is a poor man’s Ron Jeremy.
Laurels and reputation of the giants it stood on.
Also Mario Kart with Nintendoland was coming in to Universal Studios Hollywood and it was the best they could think to fit something new ground up in on a short time frame.
It is just sad that WDW has become what it is recently.

How accurate yet something I don't need to imagine. Now I can't get this imagery out of my head.
Well, you're still replacing the goat!
DHS replaced a barely used flex theater, fake streets, and underutilized half-studio. It then killed two attractions to then give:
- 4 new rides (one of which is regarded as a super-E)
- 2 new lands
- 50% extra capacity for TSM
The Hollywood Blvd flex space is sorta new. That increased the parks footprint, and it now has a permanent attraction.
While not in use for the general park guest, the Starcruiser increases the park footprint.
Also, Ratatouille and TRON made use of BoH or unused land to increase the parks' footprint without replacing any ride or attraction.
And Cosmic Rewind also increased the park's footprint with the BBB to turn a sleepy ride into a really good coaster with impressive length.
No to mention extra EPCOT footprint created to increase Soarin''s capacity by 50%.
If they eventually greenlight Mary Poppins, then that will be a new ride that doesn't replace an existing attraction.
The Blue Sky shown at D23 targets a lot of unused land.

At least in the case of Dollywood, I was not able to find any such fan web sites. The only active discussion platforms I found are on fan-created groups on FaceBook.

LOL! I did give it a brief thought. We purchased season passes last year, and it was a blast participating in the discussions. There really is a need for a non-FB forum. But, we don't live close enough to visit regularly, and the only reason we bought season passes is that it was less expensive compared to daily tickets (especially since we received six free passes apiece), and we wanted to experience the four major seasons/festivals at Dollywood, same as we did in 2019 at WDW.

Unfortunately, no. This is the only fan community for anything in existence. Like half of us, I joined these forums as a fan of Stevie Nicks.

I'd never thought I would see that comparison on a Disney site.

You mean this modern attraction next to the old go cart track (Tomorrowland speedway) doesn’t look right?

Not like Smugglers Run, Pandora, Ratatouille, or Tron replaced anything more than an empty lot. SWGE not losing anything except the best BBQ at the DLR for a land that doesn’t fit the park what so ever. Everything SWGE replaced at DHS were shells of themselves or time killers.

I feel like you’re purposely being obtuse. DHS needed a physical expansion, not replacements for existing attractions. If DL can get SWGE and MMRR as actual expansions, DHS should have kept an updated Backlot Tour and GMR with SWGE as an expansion into the parking lot and with MMRR off of Animation Courtyard. They completely fumbled on the DHS renovation. We see the impact now when the park is packed nuts-to-butts on a quiet September afternoon.
And I am not one to complain about Rat, TRON, or Pandora.

No you are not wrong, especially about MMRR deserving it’s own new build. I think the backlot tour was dead since the filming aspect was killed though. After residential street was removed it became pointless. Cars road trip at WDSP shows just when you think it can’t be any worse, it does.
