I was excited to hear this until I read the whole thing. I've been dying for the Tokyo BATB ride to come to the U.S., particularly Disneyland, since that's my fav park, but I don't want it at the expense of the Snow White and Pinocchio rides. What I love about Disneyland is the focus on the classics, unlike WDW, and removing either one of these would tarnish that reputation. Especially, since most of the other Disney Parks don't even feature these two rides anymore and there was already a hullabaloo about getting rid of Snow White's Scary Adventures at WDW. The fact that the BATB one wouldn't fit in the space of the Snow White and Pinocchio rides makes me hope that this is just an unsubstantiated rumor.
And if they have to get rid of anything in Fantasyland, can't it be that ridiculous fantasy theater with the skits about the Disney movies? I feel like they aren't popular at all and could easily be done away with.
In the meanwhile, I wish Disneyland would also think about updating their Winnie the Pooh ride to be more like the Tokyo one. I think an update to The Little Mermaid ride to be more like the Tokyo BATB one would be great as well, and maybe even an Aladdin dark ride in that style. I actually like Toontown, but if anything had to go, I feel that would be the best choice, especially because all that space could be used for potential Fantasyland expansions (I still want to see the Mary Poppins dark ride that was planned way back). I just hope they'd keep the Roger Rabbit ride though.
Oh yeah, if they scrap Snow White and Pinocchio's rides, I'll be VERY upset about that. Both of those rides are classics.
