The issue with the Super Silly Fun Land area you have to remember is that it literally sits on top of the Frankenstein parking garage. I'm sure Minion Mayhem rumbling doesn't help I believe they had wanted to put another SSFL ride in that area, but structural integrity & whatnot.
As for an Illumination Land.... here is what you have to look at- The IPs available, which are very limited since DM & PETS are used.
- SING (2016 & sequel Dec 2021)
- HOP (2011 easter movie)
- THE LORAX (2012 Seuss)
- THE GRINCH

Personally, I wish PETS had been built over by Animal Actors because the synergy of adoption/rescues would blend nicely.
SING will most likely happen, but would they do a live actor show like Japan or an animatronic Country Bears show like Disney? Maintenance would be hell, but maybe give it a holiday overlay too?
HOP i LOVE it & it was the best unit in Orlando's Superstar Parade before PETS sadly replaced it. As for our park, could a holiday based ride exist year round?
Like "HOP", the animated remake of "
The Grinch" runs into the same "holiday" issue. Unless they just recycle IOA's Seuss Landing "Sleigh Coaster" concept Mount Crumpit in Parisian Courtyard ???
THE LORAX is not exactly a woo-hoo movie, but..... again, use the shelved IOA Seuss Landing concept???
As an added side-note, "Super Mario" will be released in 2022 (perfect timing for Nintendo World)
