A new permit has been filed by Walt Disney Imagineering for the installation of "set elements" at the Peter Pan's Flight attraction

Blog Mickey is reporting permits filed by Imagineering for changes to show elements over the next year at Peter Pan.

Wonder if it’s small modifications or something grander in scale

They can’t go too grand here…

Yep @danlb_2000 spotted this last night - possibly FX lighting?

Permits 2024

The Blizzard Beach one seems promising given the company attached is Scenario Global. A quick look at their website should get any themepark nerd foaming at the mouth. https://scenario-global.com/company-profile/ How great would it be if they're doing something substantial for Blizzard Beach...

Ride could use a tuneup, not expecting a big redo, nor do I think one will happen, despite how dated PPF is. Guessing it will be a small touchup, maybe the natives get replaced or some effects get fixed, but not a big redo like the disneyland one got a few years back or the queue in the WDW version.

The Shanghai version had some lovely integration of projections into the practical sets, and a score that actually followed the scenes...not just music loops. I would love to see them move Pan and do a larger more expansive ride...

I guess they want to transform it from flying over static imagery in favor of projection mapped surfaces thus creating illusions of activity and depth.

I like everything about the Shanghai version besides the generic, charmless score

Thuuud.
Another closure for later this year?

i kinda hope the city flyover is tweaked as well.

And now we’re going to have some concerns about this.
TBA should soften the blow, but I’m hoping this closure, should it be needed, doesn’t last too long.

It's just shaping up to have a lot of closures during our December trip. Trying to be patient to get actual announcements/timelines, but seems to take forever. I realize it happens to everyone, but still not fun when it happens to you.

Ride needs a desperate overhaul, but the LL/Genie revenue loss will probably require them to make alterations overnight?

Would be cool to see the ride spruced up slowly over night and newer effects/projections debuted once all complete without needing to shut the ride down for a significant period.

I feel like BTMs closure would necessitate this being a brief closure during a quieter month, at most.

those Indians sitting peacefully around a fire in front of their teepees is unendurable

Warring Indians sitting spitefully around a fire in front of their teepees CONFIRMED!

Hopefully installing these bad boys for the "FIRE MR. SMEE!" dialogue:

I hate to go off topic in regards to pan but with BTMR going down as well it got me thinking.... Besides the railroad when was the last major long attraction referb? I can't recall anything since I started going regularly (2 or 3 times a year) since 2015? Space back in '08?

I just hope they get someone who actually sounds like Hans Conried to rerecord the Captain Hook lines.

I'd expect the Native Americans to be changed.

I'd expect the Native Americans to be changed.

Perhaps Native Neverlanders, not sure any part of the story of Peter Pan takes place within current day "America"
