I rode Peter Pan's Flight last week and I enjoyed it just as much as I always have. I think it's a classic and beautiful ride.

When will Peter Pan get rehabbed!?
- Thread starter imagineer boy
- Start date
I'd really like them to rehab but keep the charm of the old ride. As for kids today not being impressed - not true at all - the was my kids favorite Disney ride out of all (three at the time) parks in 1997.
But no one has mentioned Tinkerbell being missing since around 2000 - she used to float back and forth outside of the front of the ride. But then again she wasn't a critical character to the story (yeah-right!). Bring back Tink!

Um, care to explain why? It needs to be rehabbed some time. It is inevitable.

Peter Pan is my favorite attraction, however the DL version is noticeably nicer, more current. I would love to see a DL style rehab. If you are reluctant to the idea of changing it but have never seen DL's version, you would be pleasantly surprised. It still retains the storybook charm and is even more magical, as it feels more immersive. You cannot see the things you shouldn't, and you really feel like you are in the sky with stars around you.

I would tend to agree. Im sure its even been rehabed in the past. I dont think any attraction could make this long without some sort of rehab. I know at one point, there were some changes to the mermaid scene after The Little Mermaid came out.

I agree, before I had children I never really rode on it, as a few other rides, never could understand the long wait at times, but I really love Peter Pan ride, it is timeless just as mr Toad was and as snow white...they're classics, yes I agree thatthe tin foil volcano is quite comical ,but lets hope if anything if they do give it a makeover its not a total gut-it -out one!!
43 more days till I go home!!!!

I used to always look forward to PPF at WDW. Then we went to Disneyland. The last time I went to WDW we looked forward to PPF, waited in line, excited and then we realized. The Disneyland version is so superior, we had no idea. We have since crossed PPF off out to do list at WDW. However, the next time we get to Disneyland, we will make a point of riding their version. It really is the gold standard of dark ride and makes you want to watch the movie again.
I guess the best of all worlds would be visual enhancements based on what the DLP version opened with (these were copied for DLC) plus what 15 years of advancements can add, and adding the DLP ride system of 2 rows of seats per car with its twin hook overhead carriage (unlikely but hey!)
One thing I noticed; with the static platform boarding at DLP the ride cascades from Unload back into the final scene since guests naturally take more time to unload. A slower moving speed ramp could be the best of both worlds.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the biggest tragedy of Peter Pan - the irony of a ride where everyone get's to "fly" is the most difficult attraction in the park for wheelchair guests to board (save TTA and the treehouse, which are not accessable at all). If you cannot walk, you have to be carried. If you cannot be carried, you cannot ride.
Disney does so well for wheelchair-using guests elsewhere that it just stands out like a sore thumb. There is no creep mode, and we've been told that E-stopping is a nightmare (though it depends on whom to talk to). In any case, yes, the attraction could use some spit and polish inside, but I hope that doesn't come until after they redo the 1971 queue and do something to make it easier for people who can't walk to ride what many feel is the most magical of the Disney Fantasyland rides.

Why would they refurb a ride that on an empty day has a 40 min wait. A many of you have mentioned it is timeless and in my opinion a great ride. I hope they keep the ride in a similiar state so that my kids can one day experince the same ride I rode.

Maybe they can make the ride 3 times as long so I feel validated for waiting an hour to ride it. :ROFLOL:
This is not an angry post...I know I am not the only person that as my ship rounds the corner at the end of the ride thinks "WHAT??? It's over already?"
When I was a little kid the ride seemed really long. But then I was afraid of heights....
