Why do new rides not have on-ride photos

I imagine it's some combination of 1. Many of the rides built in the last few years aren't "thrill" rides of the kind you might want to see how you looked on and 2. Now that you don't buy on ride photos individually anymore, it's less financially lucrative to include them.

I’m surprised Smugglers Run doesn’t have one. It would be so easy to integrate. Last attraction (that I can think of) that has one was 7DMT.
The Haunted Mansion photo is the perfect example as to why some of the newer rides don’t. That pic always comes out boring lmao.
On top of that, most of the photos are in the photo pass now, so pretty much everything gives Disney money whether or not they do a photo.

Not sure where/how you would do an on-ride photo in the rides you mentioned. The other rides that offer a photo are typically coaster or thrill rides and capture the moment in one of the more thrilling sections of the ride. One example of a fairly recent ride that does include a photo is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. You'll notice there that they don't have the typical physical booth to view, scan, buy your photo like older attractions. The photo and video are sent to your app.

Yeah. That’s what I mean. Haunted Mansion has one. It’s extremely boring and pointless. It’s usually just me and a family member staring mindlessly.
Smugglers Run would be cool for Star Wars fans to see their party riding in the Falcon’s cockpit. It’s certainly one I would love at least.
And like you mentioned with the absence of the photo booths and it getting sent right to the app, that’s probably why they don’t do it: because it doesn’t get them any extra money if everything is already bundled into one.

More of a surprise to me is that they haven't retro-fitted one to BTMRR.

I imagine that BTMRR will get one if they do the new finale

im shocked slinky doesnt have one (if it does i apologize, i havent been in awhile) since its a roller coaster and toy story it just seems perfect for one.
also will be interesting if rat or gotg has one (both should, but if i had to pick the most likely it would be gotg)

Hmm good point on Slinky. That seems like a good ride for a photo.
I'll be surprised if Ratatouille has one. That seems to be similar to Runaway Railway.

I doubt it. If that were the case, they would disable existing cameras. If you're expecting to go to Disney World and not be in a picture, you're sadly mistaken. Cost is a more likely reason.
Slinky Dog Dash does have an on-ride photo, it loads directly into your account.

I am not sure that Smuggler's Run would easily be able to get all 6 people into the photo, especially if those in the middle or rear may be turning their heads to face the panels/buttons on the side.

Just a guess here, but I think that Disney has figured out it isn't near as profitable as it once was. Since cell phones can take pictures now the same quality as expensive cameras for a lot less money, they figured out that spending those big bucks for a picture with their eyes closed just isn't worth it anymore.

Fast and Furious did, but the original one was ironically taking photo's too fast and kept missing the slow moving buses.
They then replaced it with a slower camera but after 1 day of pictures full of bored, indifferent, and downright disgusted looking riders they thought the camera was malfunctioning again and turned it off.

Hagrid's and Velocicoaster both have them.
