Not that I'm aware of.
Well if by "for sure" you mean 100% ok but I'm hovering over here at around 99.9%
Right so I'd be shocked if they decided to make Avatar the first at park that desperately needs some family rides.

So I should have also mentioned and factored in square footage as that is really the trend now taking up massive plots of land for low capacity attractions.
For example Snow White has a capacity of 1100 per hour with a 6200 sq ft building. Rise of the Resistance has a 1500 per hour capacity with a 165,000 sq ft building.
In that space you can fit 26 Snow White's and a theoretical capacity of 28,600 people per hour vs RotR's 1500. Now don't get me wrong, of course you want different types of rides in a park. But at the end of the day Disney seems only intent on massive rides that are not people eaters.
Probably can attribute this to WDI needing to show off as well as incentivizing long queues with paid lightning lane (Disney is in a position where they create problems and charge the customer to resolve it).
In summary, the dark rides are amazing people eaters per square foot and WDI is too intent on having their execs appear on ABC TV specials to show off how lifelike the skin of a cartoon character can look on a 20 million dollar animatronic people will see for 10 seconds per ride.

26 Snow Whites!! It’s crazy when you put it like that. lol. Especially when the capacity is so close. Which is kind of surprising it’s that close tbh. Those numbers dont account for how many people are being held in the queue right? Something to consider but to your point the people in the queue aren’t riding. But the park walkways are emptier.
So let’s say that with modern regulations that something like Snow White would need to be twice the size that’s still 13 Snow Whites. I think there a lot of reasons that they don’t go with this approach anymore. You and I have mentioned a few of them. I don’t think you could give the most recent billion dollar box office movie a small scale dark ride. I think the two scenarios you could do it are with an attraction based on an older golden era film or if they were to open a land with a few attractions simultaneously. But I still think that land would need to include an E ticket and then maybe 2 modern “Snow Whites” at least double the 1955 size.
