I sure would love to have a pirate ship and skull rock back.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-7994688324425773612012-11-18T11:33:18.997-08:002012-11-18T11:33:18.997-08:00Great idea!Great idea!Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-45327768845310922602012-11-18T09:47:13.509-08:002012-11-18T09:47:13.509-08:00Orange Co Native said.....

As I wrote before about a year ago, I think Disney is missing an opportunity by not taking down that stage area (Was it called Videopolis in the 80's?) to the side of Small World. Take the area, redo the pirate ship, skull rock, dark ride Peter Pan and maybe another dark ride along with it and thus opening up the current Peter Pan for a third dark ride.

It also secluded the center of Storybookland which seems far too exposed now. <br /><br /><br />I don't think the later & current crop of imagineers appreciate the value of non-revenue generating details in the park. The Swiss Family water wheel and Cascade Peak fall into this category.
