As Most of you know Disney has a very successful book series called Peter and the Starcatchers. A play based on the first book, called Peter and the Starcatcher opened on Broadway in Feb. and proceeded to get nominated for 9 Tonys and won 5. An impressive feat. In July, Disney announced that the film version has been green lit and going into full production with Gary Ross (Hunger Games) at the helm. That said.
I have had me self an apostrophe. I would love to see the BIG project coming to the studios be Neverland. With a huge volcano in the center of the island. Pirate Cove with a Pirate Fort and full blown Pirate ship front and center. They could have a counterservice restaurant in the Pirate ship called "The Galley". In the fort would be shops and the Pirate make over salon for the boys. There would also be a flat ride based on the same ride system as Mater's Junkyard Jamboree called the Oaken Cask. Where you ride around in Rum Barrels. And obviously a Black 'Stach/Hook and Smee M&G.
In the Mollusk Village would be a few more shops and another flat ride of sorts (I haven't hammered out that one yet, but it would be family friendly). Nearby would be the Lost Boys hideout with a walk through of their hideout a la Tom Sawyer Island caves. This is also where the Tinkerbell M&G and Pixie make over salon would be.
The headliner attraction would be a watercoaster called Skull Rock utilizing a similar ride system to Journey to Atlantis at Sea World San Diego. It has an elevator instead of a lift hill. After loading you would enter Skull Rock through the skull mouth and there would be several show scenes featuring Pirate junk and a steamer trunk leaking starstuff into a cave lagoon with the Mermaids You come to a dead end where, right before Mr. Grinn (Starcatcher's version of Tick Tock the giant croc) gets you, you are lifted straight up into the volcano caldera (elevator). When you reach the top you ride down the mountain on the coaster portion of the ride.
Since the film version is in production the same set designerss could work with WDI to capture the feel of the film
I know a similar idea was mentioned by every armchair imagineer on the planet for Fantasyland. But my version would be a little to E-Ticket for Fantasyland. Giant Crocodile, big drops and all.
In my mind it would look something like this but instead of a castle behind the boat would be the Pirate Fort. And Skull Rock would be off to the right where the bridge is.
Who here would hate if Disney did this at The Park Formerly Known As Disney-MGM Studios?
