I know Pixie's Hollow was cut from the final NFE, but do y'all think it would be a better fit in Adventureland? Given its more tropical feel? Discuss.

Honestly I think it should have been placed where the new bathrooms are being built that way it would be close to PPF and then they could have had a M&G for all of Neverlands characters in one area!
Hmmm....that would work better. Get some of the characters from Jake and the Neverland pirates over there too? The only reason I was thinking Adventureland because (granted I've never seen any of the Tinkerbell movies), when I hear Pixie Hollow, I think of the jungle/wilderness the Lost Boys trek through during the "Following the Leader" part of Pan and I automatically think....Adventureland haha.
However, Tangled is one of my favorite newer Disney movies so I like the idea of it being represented in the parks...
That isn't a bad idea... I would say change Tom Sawyer over but then we get a thematic mess... I know everyone rags on Tomorrowland needing to be gutted... but I think Adventureland needs a little more help. Personally, I'd like to see Fire Mountain, a Pixie Hollow/Neverland play area and rework the area by the Aladdin spinner (since those aren't going anywhere it seems) to look more like the Arabian Coast area of DisneySea. And As much as I'd get crucified for saying this (since it's my mom's favorite too) but get ride of the Treehouse.

Yes agreed! The tree house has always been a boring attraction for me- what if they took the back area (Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Tree house) and build a large never land mountian complex the wraped around the land with Pixie Hollow- Lost Boy camp and house a new Petter Pan ride- Pirates and Jungle Cruise and then on the entrance side build a tropical/Arabian type of coastal village. For the new PP ride I was thinking maybe a roller coaster inspired by Hook and Pans fights with a large Splash Mountain drop at the end. The visual's I have in my head!
I like where your head is at! I took a look at Google Earth, and there is room outside the berm of the park, just not a lot. I would argue take out the Treehouse and make a Pixie Hollow-Lost Boy camp! They may not do another Pan ride because we have Pan's Flight over in Fantasyland (which I really do love!) I would love a Pixie Hollow-Lost Boy Camp a la Tom Sawyer's Island to take the place of the Treehouse (some of it can wrap around a part of Jungle Cruise, which has so much dense forest around it, the two areas would be well hidden from each other). Retheme the Aladdin area a little bit better (this would be much, I don't think). As for your roller coaster idea, I would say instead of Pan themed....do Fire Mountain! Keep the splash at the end like you had it and make it emulate a lava flow...? Hell, make the Fire Mountain a park of the Neverland complex that we just built and part of the theming is other unexplored areas of Neverland (I'm sure there was a volcano on there somewhere). Thoughts?

always thought that it would have been a good idea and it wouldnt have to be a thematic mess. TSI is two islands so that leaves two interesting suggestions: you could have the smaller island be a Pixie Hollow play area, and you could have te northern island be Neverland for boys. Or, you could leave the southern island themed to TSI and the northern themed to Neverland/Pixie Hollow. People would think that it would ruin themeing in Frontier Land but actually, with the amount of trees, you wouldnt really see it. Now the only real problem with that idea is the fact that you sould need boats to get across and that could become hected as no one was really in a rush for TSI but that would change with the new layover. You could possible have a tunnle.
Another idea I've had was to (probably gonna get rideculed for this) get rid of IASW. That opens up practically the same amount of space as the Fantasyland Forest. There you could create a more expansive version of PPF on the same physical scale of Little Mermaid but much more ambitious and around that, you could have a Lost Boy Hide out closer to the ride and even part of the queue and on the other side Pixie Hollow. That would give us an Empty old PPF building.
Last idea is to have Neverlan in adventure land in the current space of JC (of course not ALL of its footprint). You could hve Captain Hook's Ship docked right next to PoTC and have Lost boys Hide out and finally transition to PH

I do not think Pixie Hollow would fit in in Adventureland but a Neverland themed attraction definately would. After all Peter and the Lost Boys were all about adventure and treasure hunting and battling pirates. My fear would be they would incorporate Jacks and the NEverland pirates into the attraction. My kids love the show but just want them to stcik to the classic storyline.
I think the Pixe movies are odd they completely reimagined the charecter of Tinkerbell . She is no longer that fiesty, ill tempered at times little sprite.

I truely do Hate the Tink movies. I actually dont like Tink in the parks outside of fireworks, but my version of Pixie Hollow is muck like the original PPF; shes not in it. All of the other fairies are and she's alluded to i it, but she wouldnt actually be involved with it. The movies are too busy changing her into a goodie-goodie. The first film was simple a prelude but with the more movies that are made, the harder and harsher it would be to reincorperated herr into being Peter Pan's fairy. Now if the whole Pixie series revolved around Tink's sister or something then that would have been fine. ah well.

I agree I also do not like what they are doing to Peter Pan with his appearances on Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He is a basically a mentor and a parent type figure. What happened to never growing up?
Glad that it did open the door to my two year old son to some classic Disney. He loves Peter Pan and pirates.

Im 15 and Peter Pan was and still is one of my favorite characters. JatNP and th Tink movies take away from the first and second film. Sensibly, I think it would have been better to have more direct to video movies of Peter Pan with Ridley Pearson's storylines in terms of them being before he ever met Wendy, not the whole orphan bit. They wouldnt have ruined the movie storyline and would have infact strengthened the Neverland cast of the pirates, Peter, and Hook.
You have a point...Tom Sawyer Island isn't really seen from the "mainland" haha besides, Splash Moutain and Tom Sawyer take place in the South yet they are in a Wild West themed area (even though parts of the South and other areas up and down the Appalachians were considered the "frontier" early in America's history...but I digress). So a Neverland/Pixie Hollow overlay of Tom's Sawyer Island would be a great idea...
And I won't judge you on your opinion, but you know people will fight you on getting rid of IASW haha I like it, personally, because it's another one of those mid-day "I'm just going to relax for a bit" kind of rides for me and my family haha I like the idea of having Hook's ship somewhere in Adventureland... I really do think Adventureland is the next area that needs work.
Whatever brings them to the classics...haha
