This is going to be hard to talk about without being verbose and repetitive or coming off like a jerk, but here goes...
Before I start, I just wanted to say, when I say "Neverland", I mean my equivalent of an old website called "The Neverland Files", which is all about concepts for Disney attractions that never happened.
In this case, this thread is for ideas of mine that have no place to go, mainly because of real-world constraints/logistics that have been working against it, such as physical space. I've never been fond of merely fudging guide maps (which don't always reflect reality anyway) or anything else that goes beyond mere fiction (which, by its definition, means not nor meant to be real). I like to go beyond blue sky. Unfortunately, however, many ideas I've had never really stand a chance because there's just no place for them to go. Actually, as I've just said, it's not really that I don't know where to put them. Most of the time, it's in the Magic Kingdom at WDW. The issue is that I'm an overthinker and don't like to make any commitments if I don't know if they will work physically. I'm not the type who likes to create an alternate/parallel place/timeline/reality/etc. I don't like to wear fiction like a badge of honor. You can't see into your imagination, after all. All you have are just words on a screen and maybe some images, if you're lucky.
But the fact is, there are many things that I've done that have no place to go and would not work at all except in an alternate/parallel place. And because of that, I never bother to put them down here, but just keep them bottled up. It's not just rides, either, but whole parks in other parts of the world (like that one that was supposed to go in, say, Xanadu, where the languages are Portuguese and German (which is confusing in and of itself if you know the story about Xanadu)).
One idea I've had that up to now I've never put down here before because I can't find a place for it, but would love to see in a real Disney park, is a roller coaster dark ride hybrid themed to "Mickey and the Beanstalk" from "Fun and Fancy Free". It would be the equivalent of the Puss In Boots roller coaster found at Universal "Studios" (note the "quotation" marks) park in Singapore:
The basic gist of the ride would be that you go up the beanstalk (similar to the lift hill in the video), then you spot and retrieve the singing harp and the coaster element comes from being chased by Willie the Giant.
That's just one example of a "Neverland" ride concept of mine (once again, "Neverland" in this case refers to "The Neverland Files"). There are plenty more ideas where that came from, however.
Not sure if it really matters or anything, but what are your thoughts on my coming up with ideas and not being able to put anything anyplace?
