Now I know I'm relatively new at this place and that this may sound like an over-ambitious idea, but for me it's the only logical step for.
Imagine, just imagine, if Disney bought a whole island to be used as one great resort. Yes, I know about Castaway Cay, but I'm talking an island many times the size of Walt Disney World, so it could be able to house not only all the theme parks and hotels, but also cities for the cast members and other infastructure installations.
So far my work on the project is still relatively small. The current for name for the place is simply "Isle of Disney" with its project name being "Neverland". At first I searched for an island that actually was for sale, but all of them were too small. So I decided just to find THE perfect island and my best bet so far has been Saint Lucia. This island has an area of 616 squarekilometers and lies just north of the even more popular Saint Vincent. So lets just pretend that the government actually plays along and sell the island to Disney
· Disney Theme Parks:

§ The Amazone (I)
§ Neverland (II)
§ Disney Studios (II)
§ Nubian Lagoon (II)
§ Epcot (III)

§ Downtown Disney (I)
§ New Orleans Promenade (I)
§ Neverland Airport (I)
§ EMMS (Electro-Magnetic Monorail System) (I)
§ SVS (Simulated Volcano System) (I)
§ NEHPS (Natural Energy Hydrogen Power System) (I)
Now before I go on explaining some of this, let me just say that I need ALL the help I can get. This a very big and ambitious project and could take some time, but if others are interested I think it could be really cool to do as much on this project as possible. I'm open to practically every idea BTW...
Now on to the explaining:
The roman number in the parentes indicates the phases. The periods between the phases have not been decided.
Now the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom is in concept the same as we already know them. Both parks will be bigger than the originals and Animal Kingdom will also function more as a zoo than it currently does. Now remember that this is an island fully owned by Disney with no competitors around, so we can include everything.
And that's where DisneySea takes a new place. Instead of doing a Tokyo clone, DisneySea will be Disney's equivelant of Sea World. That does not mean copying the entire place, but DisneySea will actually be a sea park, where the visitors can experience and interact sea animals. The whole park will of course be build in the usually Disney style.
The Amazones is a water park and will have a really Amazonian jungle theme to it.
Typhoon Lagoon and Disney Studios will in concept be the same as we already know, but the last Phase II park will be something completely new. Neverland will be the wild ride park many have asked for. Hence the name Neverland, since it's for the "big kids that never grow up", yet still want to go on bigger rides.
As for the hotels, many of them are self-explainatory. The Grand Victorian will go hand in hand with Puerto de la Mickey and the Ancient Greek will be by Puerto de la Donald, which will see Donald watching the harbor like the ancient Colossus
The Wide World of Sports hotel will be for the visitors who wish for an active holiday. Here you can rent bicycles, play on the football fields, play tennis, go surfing etc.
The Simulated Volcano System is a very bad phrase for a simulated volcano that will be build on the biggest mountain on the island and every night special effects will make it look like the volcano erupts - though much more spectacular and dazzling
And the Natural Energy Hydrogon Power System will simply be the system that powers the entire island utilizing the newest in power technology...
Anyway, anyone who wants to join in on the project, please do I need all the creative help I can get, whether it's just ideas, sketches or whatever. Though I do have rather specific ideas for some of the things, the whole project is still very rough in its details...
Personally this sounds to me as the most creative and daunting imagineering challenge ever, but it could also be a realistic proposal for a new holiday paradise. Disney would have NO competition on the island, therefore easily filling out all of its hotels and the island combines every a vacationer could ever want: theme parks and attractions, sandy beaches with a great ocean on the horizon, a simply stunning enviroment and of course the Disney magic
