Peter Pan's FlightDark rideAbout Peter Pan's FlightA whimsical two to three person suspended dark ride recreating the story, music, and characters of Walt Disney's animated version of Peter Pan, based on the classic Peter Pan Story. 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. -- Last edited by Brandon Mendoza [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Peter Pan's Flight

Readers' Opinions
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 Love this ride. This is probably my favorite Fantasyland ride. - Chloe ! What an amazing ride! The technology that creates the breathtaking views of London and Neverland is quite simple, but it has created stunning visual effects and charmed audiences for generations. - Sarah =D Definately a must see, even through a half hour wait. Its spectacular - Bellatrix Lestrange This is NOT a carbon copy of the Magic Kingdom version... The Magic Kingdom's version is a carbon copy of Disneyland's. I like Peter Pan's flight, but I can't justify the long lines that there is for this attraction. It's good... but it's not THAT good. - John Waddell The best attraction for the children in the entire Kingdom ! - Greg Sinclitico This is an underrated ride. Charming, nice eye candy, and contains one of the most beautiful scenes in any dark ride (flying over London, of course). The only problem is the huge line ups for a short ride; get a fast pass! - Sylvain Comeau Carbon-copy of the Magic Kingdom version, so most might not like it, but I stand by it and say it is one of the best rides Fantasy land has to offer. Be weary of the long lines however. - Wilfredo Alvelo
