The new Star Wars rides are based on the new Disney Star Wars movies, one of which is released this year.
The TRON ride is based on TRON Legacy from 2010.

Disney are currently building a ride based on the 12 year old film Ratatouille and another based on the 9 year old film TRON Legacy.
The last Middle Earth movie was released just 5 years ago.
Of course, the last ride before the TRON coaster to be built at MK was based on movie from 1937 (SDMT and Snow White). The age of the franchise or film is meaningless. If it’s popular then I don’t see why we shouldn’t have a ride or land based on it, irregardless of age.
It’s not important how old it is. What is important is how good the theming and ride is.
Anyway, as for the LOTR ride rumour, is it any different to the Universal/LOTR rumour that has been doing the rounds for the past couple of years? Have Universal been in discussions with the Tolkien estate again recently?
