Fix something that really needs work doing.

Hmmmm...

While I agree that Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America may need to be rethemed (I personally have never visited or shown interest in either, and I've been going to the parks since I was four years old), I'm not sure if Neverland is the way to go about it. While it does seem like an interesting idea, WDI might be making a bold and risky move by removing Peter Pan's Flight from Fantasyland, much like how they got rid of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and replaced it with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I'd be one of probably many who'd be upset, as it actually is one of my favorite rides at Magic Kingdom.

Also, I don't think theming part of an area to Direct to DVD films is a very wise decision, however popular they may be. That's just my personal opinion, though.

I'd actually rather they completely re-theme it to Pirates of the Caribbean, as to my understanding there is a bit of PotC already on the islands. But this may also clash with the whole Frontierland theme... so perhaps Treasure Island, or even, dare I suggest, Muppets Treasure Island? (I actually really liked that film as a kid! )

Someone had an idea once about Disney building a "London Street" somewhere...maybe in land reclaimed when the Speedway is removed in the future...and that London Street would have a 101 Dalmatians, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood, and other such attractions that are all connected to British stories. I kind of like the idea...and it would involve moving Peter Pan.

But, I doubt this will happen since they are remodeling Peter Pan's queue soon and I doubt they would invest that kind of money when there's any chance they would move Peter Pan or shutter it. I really love that ride, flying over the little models, it's so fun.

I do wish they had built a Neverland area where Dumbo's Circus is in FLE though. It would have been a perfect thing to have round the corner from Ariel and Prince Eric's castle...they could have extended the rock work and turned it into the Skull Rock on one side, with the pirate ship and Neverland there. That would have been a great thematic touch and would have fit in perfectly with the area.
