Brainstorm for a "boys" section in Fantasyland

Okay, this idea is basically a boyhood dream.:) However, as many people on these forums pointed out, there isn't much in New Fantasyland for boys. I thought that one movie to meet this demand would be Peter Pan, which happens to be my all-time favorite Disney movie.
Now how would this be designed? Well...

1. Neverland should a full-blown island. Maybe not to movie-scale, but big enough to awe guests and facilitate multiple attractions. Not only would we have a revamped Peter Pan's Flight, but a water ride through Skull Rock, an interactive Hangman's Tree, and Hook's Ship, part time tour area, part time dinner theater.

This one's brief, but I'd like to hear your ideas!

I think Hercules is a really underutilized concept, especially with all its fantasy:
  • Phil's Strength Training - Heros In Training brush up on their skills (sword fighting, lifting, archery, agility - all different little stations)
  • Titan Fighter - Motion simulator where you help Hercules fight the Titans (several different courses, much like Star Tours)
  • Hades' River Boat ride
  • Hercules & Meg meet and greet (I'm sure boys would love to meet Hercules, and their dads would like to see Meg's famous hip swishes)

Not really a "section" but Wreck-It Ralph sugar rush speedway replacing the current one which would transition Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. The track would go thru Sugar Rush but would also include Cybugs attacking you in an indoor portion. The ride wouldn't be the current speedway, cause it uses Test Track technology but for 4 people rather than 8 feeling like a smaller and different car.

Nothing manlier than sugar rush!

I don't like that everything needs to be so gendered for kids. They should just build things kids like and they'll do fine.

Princesses and knights and magicians are one part of Fantasy and pirates (boys and girl pirates) are one part of Adventure.

I hate the whole "Princesses and Pirates" thing. Not every kid wants to be put into a box. Some girls like superheroes and some boys like music.

I don't think they're too sterotyping. Girls are allowed to go to the Pirates League and guys can be a prince in Bibbidi Bobbidi. But they do realise majority of boys like things labelled as boys stuff and vice verse for girls.

The point of the thread is lately new areas have been things like Princesses and Fairies. Majority of boys are unhappy cause of this so they deserve something too.
