A thought occurs. Wasn't the justification for moving away from the "behind the scenes" aspect of the park that DVD bonus features already do the same "behind the scenes" thing?
Personal opinion, but I think it's also because "how movies are made" just isn't as interesting as it was >20 years ago. As we have transitioned from practical to digital effects minimizing the use of in camera effects, miniatures, robotics, models, etc, I just don't think you can build an attraction around blue screens, mocap, and AI. I mean, don't get me wrong, visual effects can be fascinating as a subject (I love YouTube channels like Corridor Crew or Captain Disillusion which break down visual effects), I just don't think it translates well into theme park attractions.
I feel like Test Track suffered a similar fate. When Test Track first opened and car safety was tested very much practically (as was shown on the ride itself), that was much more interesting to experience as a concept than now when so much of the car testing is (at least initially) done simulated in a computer.
