Peter Pan's Flight reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Peter Pan's Flight, a dark ride in Fantasyland at Disneyland.
Written by Brandon Mendoza One of the original rides from Disneyland's 1955 opening day. Only problem: there was no Audio-Animatronic of Peter Pan, and audiences were left wondering where he was. The Florida version of the ride opened in 1971. While the overall theme and format of the ride was almost identical to the original in California, the Florida ride, would feature its characters in Audio-Animatronic style. In 1982, Disneyland's Fantasyland was in a phase of major overhaul. Mr. Toad and Snow White's dark rides moved their respective loading areas (and partial murals) indoors, but the Peter Pan ride still featured a colorful mural, depicting the characters from the film. In 1983, an Audio-Animatronic Peter Pan was added to the ride. Between Disneyland's and the Magic Kingdom's versions, the layout and theme is very similar, but they are not 100% carbon copies.
Readers' rating:
one of the CLASSIC disneyland rides! very fun ride!! lines are always long for this ride...obviously cuz its soooo fun! - N O Great dark ride! Really tells the story. Great scenes. Love the feeling of flying. - Erik Avila Our kids ages 6 and 2 loved this ride. You must go right when the park opens to avoid the long lines. We went early and only waited about 15 minutes. - Melissa Corsaut This ride is the highlight of any "magical" stay at Disneyland. The London and Neverland scenes create a unique environment that is totally worth the price you pay to actually get on the ride ($72 single day admission (2010) and at least 30-45min wait). Best ride in Fantasyland and holds its own with rides throughout the rest of the park. - Andy B I'd love this ride a lot more if the line wasn't so damn long! It's great, but the wait is always so excruciatingly long, so if you can only ride one dark ride in Fantasyland, skip this and hit either Mr. Toad or Alice in Wonderland. Still, it is good and creative. The 'flying' aspect gives it a good edge over the other attractions in the park. Overall, you must ride it at least a couple times in your life, but the wait's barely ever worth it. - T.S. Stone A nice little ride. This ride is famous for its flight over London and Neverland as well as for its ridicoulously long lines. Waits are long for this short ride and much of the queue is outdoors, so waiting for this in the hot sun isn't really enjoyable. The ride itself is charming and is a must for anybody with small children. Long lines form almost immediately when the park is open so ride this one early in the morning. - Manny Barron More attraction and restaurant ratings:
