Speaking of alternatives to join LM for SNW expansion, based on some murmurs of Rosalina merch in the Nintendo Store (which seems to be giving the biggest hints at the moment) I was actually formulating an ideas for a Rosalina section of the expansion that would go in that sliver that actually does connect to Celestial for obvious reasons.
My basic idea given the small width of that area is to build tall, LM wants multiple stories too but for this I mean really tall, as tall as they can, but closed off so the inside would be a low-light facade mimicking an exaggerated starry space (outside just needs to look magical, Nintendo-y, and pleasant). At the bottom you'd have Rosalina's Observatory in the middle of a false bottom glass floor so it looks suspended in space and it would be the ride que for what I imagine to be a flying coaster built up into the wall down the center with the coaster itself painted to be "invisible" against the starry night. The idea is the first half would be nothing but coaster launches upwards on the outer perimeter fabricated to look like *
these*. You'd travel past SMG planet props meant to seem large and far away with the right visual trickery and you keeping launching until you get to the very top where you would start to swirl around a large focal point like a Blackhole or a Star or something like a whirlpool. Then finally as you reach that focal point you enter a downward loop in the middle where you just keep swirling an swirling all the way down. So kind of like a very tall and very expensive slide or gumball machine except you're floating instead of sliding.
Simple pathing, probably not simple to build, family oriented, and to my understanding Flight coasters have more annoying reqs compared to a simple sit down coaster but I think it would be really cool idea and maximize the transition space back into Celestial. also I'm told launches help with capacity, and this will have them in droves.
Finally to make the transition into LM, the original Mansion has an extremely fun section where you enter an observatory room that breaks out into weird space where you walk along a star path to blow up the moon using ghost magic and like... just do that and make the observatory room the transition to LM land, even if idea is also in LM ride itself, that section is cool enough to use twice. All together that would truly complete
