Mini-Golf Ideas: Wonderland & Never-Never Land

[Crockett]

I've always enjoyed the creativity & detail of Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland mini-golf. Does anybody know if WDW has exhausted the mini-golf genre for its Fla property? You wouldn't want the place to turn into a Myrtle Beach/Pigeon Forge type of atmosphere, where every other block is holding yet another mini-golf course. It gets to become a cliche.

BUT, if there were to be a 3rd course, what would you think of these ideas for theming possibilities:

Wonderland Mini-Golf:
Alice in Wonderland theme. Obstacles could include giant mushrooms, tea pots, moving cards, a Queen of Hearts maze, etc. This film has more than enough detail to go overboard with an 18-hole course.

OR
Never-Never Land:
Peter Pan theme. The one problem I see with this one is that it can slide close to the familiar Pirates Cove theme that is seen in the nationwide mini-golf locations. You're obviously going to need a pirate ship for a Peter Pan themed course, but don't want to make it seem too familiar.

Or finally, you could combine the two such as in Winter Summerland. Have it be: Wonder Never Land (okay, the name could use some work). But have half as Wonderland, and the other half as Never Land.

Any thoughts? Do you see guests paying $$ for this like they do for FG and WSMRLand?

Good ideas. I like the combination one. If we decide on that, you could make course themed to Wonderland with the other themed to Neverland, similar to Fantasia Gardens' layout.

Thanks.

Yeah FG has always been our favorite for some reason. Even though WinterSummerland has more figures, animatronic obstacles, etc. FG though has a more calm, lush environment with the way the course is set up with the pond adjacent to it, plant life, and so on. Just a great course overall.
