Peter Pan Queue

[Clamman73]

Now I'm picturing the pirate ships whipping through like clothes at the dry cleaners. Oh, and maybe the ships can just tip a bit to dump guests out, saving the time it takes them to climb out. I have no idea why I find this mental image so freaking amusing...

Whatever it takes to shorten up the standby line.

we are finally getting the long awaited Peter Pan queue expansion.

Seriously? There are people who are excited about a queue expansion? ... So people are more excited about a queue path being extended rather than the ride itself having a full refurb and expansion. This is bemusing.

This is very exciting!

Thought this permit deserved it's own thread. Based on "PP" and the address this is likely Peter Pan, and "Phase 1" would seem to indicate it's a major change. Maybe we are finally getting the long awaited Peter Pan queue expansion.

PP Queue Phase 1, 1450F Magic Kingdom Drive - Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction

Any indication when this might begin?

This is a notice of commencement meaning work will likely begin any day now. It has no expiration date so it will take less then a year.

When I visited MK last weekend I noticed the IASW façade under tarps. I doubt the medieval setting will be gone any time soon, but it just got me thinking...

Anyway, I hope there's a PPF update in the near future. The queue and the ride itself definitely needs some revamping.

It would also be awesome if they increased capacity and eliminated Fastpass from the attraction.

It was under tarps when we were there two weeks ago as well. Wouldn't that be an amazing surprise.

I wish they would shut down the whole thing for a major overhaul. Peter Pan's Flight is downright embarrassing to ride. I feel sorry for anyone that endures that hot, horrid, hour long queue.

I'd love to see IASW move to EPCOT where it makes more sense...

No...It Doesn't

We Don't need two boat rides with the same idea *Cough* Gran Fiesta Tour *Cough*

Not really. Epcot already is 'It's a Small World' but on foot. Having World Showcase makes a boat ride that goes around the world redundant and unnecessary.

It's nice to dream about all this.

Thanks for the reply. Can't say I'm happy to hear that both IASW and PP will be behind tarps on our upcoming visit. What a drag. This in addition to the hub being torn up and behind walls and TTA and Astro Orbiter being behind walls as well. I am happy things are being taken care of. It's all long overdue. But after Fantasyland being torn up for years, I was really hoping it wouldn't look like a construction site this time. Really second guessing the decision to go this summer.

You're right of course, though they do already have a boat ride that goes around World Showcase, the Friendship boats just happen to make a few stops, unlike IASW.

I personally love the ride... but I never wait for that ride. So many trips have passed and I don't go on it unless I have a FP. No way I'm waiting and hour and a half in a boring queue to ride a two-three minute ride. I love the ride, don't get me wrong. I just think some painting could be done here and there in the ride itself. Also, it's one of the only rides in WDW that if the ride breaks down, they have to call the fire department to get guests off of the ride. I feel like they should do something about that.

Despite the tarps, you are going to have a great time regardless! Try not to focus on all of that. I used to hate all of the tarps on Main Street when they were adding new shops, or rather just expanding or changing out shops or facade... but they really do their best to keep in the scenery, as you know. Do not regret an amazing trip.

Hour? It's usually more than that. I don't get it. That ride is so outdated.

I have been surprised how in the last few years with all the construction going on how it really never affected how things look, Disney does a good job with the tarps not to let things look underconstruction

Lol how is that nasty at all?

 

[midwest_mice]

I'd love to see Pan and It's a Small World have their facades updated.

I'd really like to see this moved there as well. Keep the ride building layout(waterway) as is at the MK and turn that into a Frozen ride.
