Please dont judge peterpan until you ride it, the videos doesn’t do justice on how amazing the ride is. Its not Spiderman from UNIVERSAL.

Surprised on how set heavy peter pan was, felt like how Spidey is at USO in that way (as the other scoop rides aren't as heavy on scenery, especially transformers), where said screens are accompanied by very elaborate sets to add immersion and transition pieces between setpieces. Sad there wasn't any animatronics (they could probably could have done the skull island bit or the first time the crocodile appears with them), but it looks fun.

I don't think Peter Pan looks bad; it just looks like a smaller side attraction rather than a headliner.

But that's because it's entirely screens, and they just don't work very well for me (I always feel like I could just be watching at home, because any additional motion never really moves the needle for me), so I know it's different for other people. The Tangled ride looks significantly better.

I’ve seen some unjustified takes on here but to reduce Hagrid to “it’s a little more than”? ……..

Try much more; a great deal more. I agree the drop track and backward switch segments have been overused on coasters and thus overhyped——nothing novel with those.
But those attributes do not take away Hagrid’s other impressive features: 7 launches, eye popping ride vehicles, well positioned AA’s(2 or 3 outdoors), elaborate Q, track length/ride time, outstanding sound system and script

I hear you, but I just didn't find Hagrid's all that. It's vastly overhyped, IMO. The vehicles are lovely, but as bespoke as any ride I'd expect from Disney or Universal. The AAs and queue are indeed stellar. None of that elevates it to "best of" for me, except perhaps "best roller coaster" and not necessarily "best ride" but even then I'd have to give it a thought.

Yeah, it’s screen based but I really like the execution of this attraction. The use of music is also particularly strong special shout out to follow the leader and the end. Animation is excellent, overall I’m a big fan.

I normally harp on screen rides, but this one works really well for me. It looks like it has a perfect sense of flow to it. Excellent animation and layered sets. Perfectly charming and whimsical.

What does this even mean?

 

[Surferboy567]

Very well done, that lantern scene is incredible. It does abruptly end after it but still it’s a nice boat ride.

EDIT: No gothel and no snugly duckling scene is definitely weird though

wish PP was longer, only 5 minutes but still looks great

They did a fantastic job hiding all of the screen edges with physical props (something that would have helped Ratatouille a lot). Is it 3D (and this is shot through the 3D glasses) or did they just do a stellar enough job with the parallax and projection that it just looks 3D?

This reminds me of the Remy's Ratatouille Adventure attraction which I love. Peter Pan looks incredibly adorable, well-paced and FUN.
Looks like a "win" to me
The Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies attraction looks well done too.

It's exactly like the Nemo ride!!!

Personally this land looks like an absolute homerun. Watched all the POVs now but truly wish I hadn't.

Frozen Journey is bonkers and I'm surprised people are so mixed about it. I've seen it get compared to Splash and Pirates but it's its complete own thing: a fever dream trip through a Broadway show with stunning synchronization of movement, effects, and music. It's like if Fantasia was a ride.

 

[DisneyDean97]

I'm happy Tokyo Disneyland showed some love to an older property like Peter Pan, and even Beauty and the Beast before this; we all know if a Fantasy Springs land ever came to the US it would be a new IPs like Moana, Encanto and Wish.

A small note that would greatly help this attraction is a longer build up to seeing Rapunzel's tower, particularly an "unveiling" scene. Much like how Flynn Rider discovers her tower, guests should pass through an gate of ivy and come out on the other side in her valley with the tower hidden up until that moment.

Other than that, yes, the ride definitely ought to have included Gothel and an "I've Got a Dream." It really needs those beats of "you are never leaving this tower; it's too dangerous," followed by "the best day ever," then the "ruffians, thugs" singing "I've Got a Dream," before we finally end at the Lantern festival.

It simply just needs more build up. It's a great attraction in many ways, and easily my favorite of the four, but it is a little too short.

wish PP was longer

Relatable.
