They basically said that since Galaxy’s Edge did not increase the number of guests as they expected in the US parks, and because of the high maintenance cost of the RotR ride, a trusted source told them that they are canceling this project.
Disney have been thinking for a while now about a Lion King land with a ride similar to splash mountain, since the Lion King festival in DLP is so popular, and they are obliged to build something in this location (because of contracts with the French government)

Smugglers Run has been immediately excluded because of the several languages spoken in Europe.

Is there a link to this? A site comparing them etc? I've seen blueprints but not ones comparing layouts etc and had only heard rumours it would be RotR instead of Smugglers Run.

Being made out of junk is probably the point of it because of Mater's Junkyard...

Tbh, I rather see a new land based on the lion king.

I'm sure it was Rise of the Resistance - plans/permits had a showbuilding the same size/shape, artists' impressions show an X Wing in place of the Millennium Falcon, and I'm sure I heard a few times that the only ride they'd be getting will be ROTR. I hope so, anyway, ROTR looks incredible.

Cars Road Trip construction progress.

I’ve watched these two French YouTube videos. They mentioned that they know some DLP insiders who told them about these plans.
And it makes sense since a whole Lion King land can be built with the budget of the ROTR attraction alone. Plus the Lion King festival is very popular at DLP.

Any sources of this rumour? Honestly as long as the studios gets a third new land I will be happy. But rise of the resistance looks to be the best dark ride in the world so that would make sense to hugely increase attendance.
