The Peter Pan Problem

This was said to be one of the biggest mistakes WED made when creating Peter Pan’s Flight 🙈
Though the Fantasyland dark rides were a hit from the beginning of Disneyland in 1955, they realized immediately that they didn’t have enough capacity. It wasn’t until the 1964 New York World’s Fair (and the prodding of Nunis, aka “Hop-a-long Capacity”) that Disney finally found methods for moving more people through an attraction per hour.
But even with many upgrades in the 1983 Fantasyland remodel, Peter Pan’s flight in Disneyland (as well as the one in Walt Disney World) still suffers from extremely low capacity. That is why the line is always so long, because it’s a slow loading, low-capacity attraction. Some have said the wait is not worth it to a 2.25-3min ride (depending on the version you are on), but for many this attraction is a must-do in the Disney parks.
There’s a significance there, in the wait. We continue to join the queue, though this ride is one of the shortest rides in duration of all the Disney attractions. Maybe it’s because the idea that we don’t have to grow up is a hope we hold close, even for two and a half minutes at a time. Or maybe we all just want to be able to fly, even for a moment, away to our own Neverlands 💜
“We were talking about what things we could use for Fantasyland in some of the rides. And we kidded about Peter Pan. ‘We could do a Peter Pan fly-through.’ While Walt was gone, Bill made a little schematic birds-eye view of where you would go, and that became the ride.” - Richard Irvine

That ride is weirdly one of the most memorable moments I have from all park visits I had as a child, even though I only rode it maybe once. I leaned over the edge and looked down, and I remember thinking "We're so high up! Wait, no we're not, but it looks like we are, so maybe we really are?"

Yeah Walt never meant for it to be a museum, more like a living organism that changes and grows with time. I have no doubt he would have ripped many things out and replaced them several times over by now had he lived longer. He once said the storybookland canal boats was just a temporary little ride until they could get something better.

I keep reminding myself of that when I mourn Maelstrom but I will never forgive The Great Movie Ride being replaced with what, in my view, is a lack-luster ride (though it has a great story). It isn't a roller coaster unless it can go up and down inclines. And honestly, it was such a unique attraction that was replaced with a common attraction.

I am saddened for those who have never experienced that true Disney magic as a child, particularly on this ride, and at a short wait time to where one could ride again within the hour.

@llaftsewyelrebmik5103 Ай бұрын

The first year Disney World was opened I got to go. To ride each ride you had to pay a certain number of tickets, but we didn't have enough money to buy a lot of them, so I savored each moment on the rides, thoroughly captivated. On the Peter Pan ride, the ship was a wonder and I didn't mind at all when it paused at the scene where Capt. Hook balanced atop the crocodile jaws. As Hook did splits, we waited. And waited. Our ship was at the top of the up and down cycle. Finally, someone came with a ladder and helped us down. As we walked through the rest of the ride and exited, we were given a long, long string of tickets, maybe even more than we started the day with! Best Disney moment in my past 50 years!

Was in line for Peter Pan's flight with my cousins + their kids for hours because it began to storm really violently and iirc there was either a severe storm or hurricane warning. Luckily we were in the part of the line where it looks like the nursery and there's a lot of interactive things.

@moonglow630 Ай бұрын

If they had made the ride longer, they could’ve accommodated more guests, and thus shortened the lines. A cheat back in the day when I lived in So Cal, was to go on it during the parades when all the families who would otherwise be in line were distracted. Don’t know how well that works now though.

@gaerekxenos Ай бұрын

Not by much if there is any improvement, unfortunately. The ride itself is pretty slow, so the queue is still going to move pretty slowly due to how few people are still going to get on and off and at the rate that the ride moves

@matter9 25 күн бұрын

A longer ride would make line wait times worse. Ride length is independent of throughput. More seats per gondola/ship thing, or more gondolas would help. A longer ride with all else being equal would make the problem worse. The only thing that would change is retrospect feelings as to whether the ride was worth the wait.

@TheLadsBandLive 2 ай бұрын

The Peter Pan queue is brutal: No shade, cramped, winding, boring, no storytelling, no distractions, ride frequently pauses due to loading/unloading trouble, lots of line-cutting, and torture for fidgety little ones (and their parents) to endure. Love the ride but I won’t attempt it if the wait is more than 30min, and that’s still crazy lopsided when comparing ride vs wait. Monsters Inc. has nearly the exact same issues.

The ride really limits the size of the ride vehicle, so it’s a low capacity ride, even with a double rows. You have to be able to look over the side. The only fix would be to have multiple tracks (multiple rode buildings) or speed up the ride.

There was a bar at one time where all the construction and early crew of Disney (Florida). Old plans, old costumes and personal tributes. It was my favorite bar for many years. When the area developed so much we saw it bulldozed in the early 2000 maybe 04-06. I found the bar in the 80s and it was hopping. New areas were being developed and their stories of how things were designed and built was always fascinating.

Back in 1989 to 2002 as Disneyland AVP holders when tje kids wanted to go on Peter Pan we would go to there early Sunday morning as a first ride. Wait times were less than 10 minutes and usually rode it twice before going on other rides.

Peter Pan's Flight is definitely one of the attractions I've experienced at Walt Disney World.

I rode it for the first time this year. It scared me a bit with the animatronics, but it was still pretty magical.

Yes! Pirates might have a slight edge over it for me but it’s up there

They did add some games on the app, with puzzles and things to scan while waiting in line to unlock physical stuff like a hidden tinkerbell. Idk if they kept it or added more, its been a while, but i do like that theyve added things to entertain during the line.

It will always be one of the best Disney rides of all time. The only way to make the line faster is to change the engineering.

Yeah likely adding a stronger track with ships that hold more people.

Wow, in that one photo it looks like a young Ruchard Nixon is on a ride!!

It is! He loved Disneyland. Got a key to it in 1955 and dedicated the monorail in 1959

I swear for years and years I rlly thought we were super high up on this ride, like it was real 😅 I even dreamed about it after. A forever memory, I still think about it sometimes lol

I went to Orlando Disney as a small child and this was my favorote ride, I went on it three or four times in a row with my Nana while my parents did some of the height-restricted rides like Space Mountain

I’ve never had any problem getting right on this one

This happened to me at universal. The jaws ride had broken and it was a 45minute wait just to ride it when it was working after 5 minutes all the impatient people left. The ride was fixed in 5 minutes and we were at the front of the line! Thank you impatient people!!
