Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure: By far this was the biggest surprise of the trip for both of us. To preface, I have next to no built in love for Peter Pan outside of my love of the classic dark ride in the parks, of which I rarely do anyway given the wait times they tend to command. And like many of us I'm really not a fan of the screen heavy rides in any park, so I had expected to think this was just ok. I couldn't have been more wrong, I love this attraction. The animation style is incredible, a perfect modern 3D re-interpretation of the Peter 2D style that feels perfectly in line with the original movie and also feels bespoke (not like the kind of "generic" 3D modeling in Philharmagic, where everything looks the same). The blending of screens with the set design feels more seamless than any other ride of this style, and the ride system is so pleasant and responsive, it genuinely feels like you are responding to the action you're seeing on screen, which is the highest praise I can give to a simulator like this. The ride length is perfect, the music is wonderful, across the board it's an absolute homerun. It's honestly so good that I'm scared it'll impress OLC enough to continue to invest in screen heavy rides, but it's hard to argue against how good the attraction is. It's the ride I wanted to re-ride the most, and I honestly enjoyed it more than Frozen Journey, which feels absurd to even say. It's the ride I look forward to riding the most again when we return, and I certainly won't be upset if they ever clone it to one of our domestic parks.
