CORRECTION: Please forgive my blunder during one of the last sentences of the episode, as I embarrassingly state that Peter Pan is the only original dark ride fantasyland attraction to appear in all “5 main theme parks”, but I somehow missed Hong Kong, as it doesn’t feature a version of the attraction.
Yesterworld Entertainment Hello, at one minute 48 seconds into your video there is a wonderful old black-and-white video that you chopped in. Please tell me Where can I find the original Full length black and white video That you chop that from
I just realized that Aladdin needs a dark ride. Imagine entering the cave of wonders and meeting the genie and making a round trip to defeating jafaar.
I'm still wondering why no one developed a magic carpet rollercoaster! That's my most vivid memory of seeing the movie in theaters as a child! There's a Snow White rollercoaster, but not Aladdin?
I go to Disney about once a year with my mother (we dont live too far from LA and both seem to have business that brings us to Anaheim yearly anyways so its become a nice tradition). For the first few years I always resisted Peter Pan because the line was always ridiculously long for a dark ride. We didnt go for a few years because I moved to London for school. When I came back it had been nearly a year since I'd been to England and was missing it bad. We were at Disney and the line for once wasnt so bad so my mother told me to go on it while she went back to the hotel. I had no idea what the ride was like on the inside. As soon as we got to the flight over London I burst into tears. That thing is realistic enough I was able to figure out my neighborhood easily. Now thats one of my favorite rides in the park, and I like to go on it at least once by myself and look at the city that was once my home from above. Good video, you made me nostalgic for one of my favorite Disney memories.
Some very memorable things must have happened to you in London for it to have so much significance! That's great! I too know what it is to feel so attached to a place. And the Peter Pan ride is a bit more convenient than actually flying over there, isn't it?
7:27 Something about riding on Peter Pan himself with a pole sticking off his back seems really odd to me. It's for the best they went with the pirate ships instead.
Peter Pan’s Flight has always been one of my favorite Disney rides. Although it’s not as complex as some of the others, it’s really relaxing and the scenery is beautiful
@@elizabethbostick7119 More or less, if the wait time fluctuates between 40 mins to 65 its average crowd level (then for example Haunted Mansion and Pirates are going to be around 15 to 20 mins). Once it passes 70 or its average wait is 120 mins, the park is crowded (which more than likely you would see Mansion and Pirates over 45 mins).
I always use Small World as the test. If it’s more than 20-25 minutes it’s kinda busy. If it’s 30-40 minutes it’s pretty busy. If it’s 45-60 minutes I am not going to MK that day
This is what Walt liked about the themed park experience. Unlike a film, once it's made, it CAN'T be changed. He could always go back and "plus" or change the ride experience through new technology & a bigger budget.Storytelling would "always" be the key however. Money was always a "fight" with Walt, but he always knew If you spent the money, there would be a return and the guests, movie goers, and TV audience would follow and stay loyal to you. Peter Pan is a fan favorite of mine. I've learned that If I want to ride it, get on it first thing. Then Mad Tea Party & Alice. These are lower capacity rides and the queues fill up quickly. Great video as always of a great ride.
Fun story. When I first went to Disney World in 2010, my family rode this ride and my sister thought that we were ACTUALLY flying over London. It was super funny.
Lmao the first time I went to Disneyland in 2005 I was like 5 years old and the Peter Pan ride was the first ride I rode in Disneyland and I was super excited until my older sister told me we were actually gonna be flying and I believed her and wouldn’t stop crying the entire queue lmaoooo
Ok, I didn't used to be even a slight bit interested in Disney parks because I've never even been to one. Then I found this channel and now it's one of the best things I watch on youtube! Thank you for taking your time with this, I love it!
@@spengler2258 Oh believe me I'm planing on it! Me and some friends are going to take a Florida trip to go to both Disney and Universal. It's gonna cost us a year's salary but It's gonna be worth it!
SaveMeMoon Oh, it will. My family and I have done the Disney/Universal thing at Florida a few times, and it’s absolutely fantastic. You’re going to have an amazing time.
My first Disneyland trip, I rode 6 times in 5 days. I went back on the last day, alone, just to see it all once more, and I had time for one ride. This was it. It’s so beautiful. The music and timing. I was crying happy tears, thanking the cast member, and she told me to ave a seat, and enjoy, sending me through once again. I cried even more! In the moment, it was so kind, but in light of lockdowns, it was even more. I likely won’t make it back as planned. But that extra few moments flying are mine forever!
Peter Pan's Flight is the best Disney dark ride. Nothing else even comes close, it's so beautiful and the fact that you fly just makes the experience majestic. I don't know why the concept of a flying dark ride hasn't been reused because it's truly incredible and it can't be that hard to pull off since the technology to build it existed in the 50s.
The bit with Margaret intrigued me so much I had to find the original: th-cam.com/video/tNvRtuYaV58/w-d-xo.html - in the special, Margaret actually runs away from her husband and kids, presumably in search of the real vacation she needed. From them.
I went to Disney World like 2 months ago, Peter Pan is my absolute favorite attraction, I found out early on that it would be closed for the whole week I was going to be there, my mom found out a week before that it would be open on the first day of our vacation, I already used up my fast passes for EPCOT world showcase that day, but I had park hopper and I was determined. We did rope drop since we could not get a fast pass, so we ran right to Peter Pan as soon as the park opened and only had to wait 15 minutes for it, shortest wait time I will ever have for that ride. It was magical, I was disneybounding as Peter that day actually.
We went to Magic Kingdom when I was 3, almost 4, and I remember being so upset because my Mum refused to let me go on Peter Pan's Flight bcus the queue was too long and we had to leave. I went to Disneland Paris for the first time last year with my boyfriend and it was the first ride I wanted to go on. It took me almost 20 years to finally go on it.
Another awesome video my friend. As usual my favorite parts are the vintage footage ! I just bet someone out there has footage of the original ride through, just collecting dust in an attic somewhere.
I’m a librarian and I love that you cite your sources!!! I grew up in the Midwest and only visited Disney World and Land once each. I love learning about all the experiences and I hope to visit again soon.
Unpopular opinion: They should make a Neverland land in Magic Kingdom where the ride gets relocated to, but they'll be 2 clone peterpan rides sharing one queue (so that the original elements of the ride stay the same but the wait time gets cut in half) and they can add a pixie hollow and tinkerbelle flying coaster like manta that gives you the chance to fly over neverland as tink! I've been wanting a neverland land for so long!
Just would still kinda just be a waste of money though. You could just add another dark ride based off a another popular classic Disney movie, like Sleeping Beauty, the unbuilt Wizard’s duel from the scene in The Sword in the Stone, or maybe Tangled.
It's kind of strange that I just so happen to be looking into theme park history and amusement parks for the last month or so, and then I'm suddenly invited to go to Disney world in April. That's some cosmic shit right there.
@@noelepeterson2036 Oh yes! We went on Easter weekend (2019, dodged a bullet). We went to all 4 parks, it was such a BLAST! Definitely worth going again, most likely Epcot. I need to go to Universal and check that out too. :D
I discovered your channel like a month ago and I have really enjoyed watching your videos. The way you tell the hsitory and how you edit and show old footage is wonderful. Nice job!!
I’m struggling to believe that this concept was official Even in the concept art the women looks terrified and not trusting the beam suspended Peter to the conveyer belt
Having drawn hundreds of perspective views and blueprints in my past profession, I can’t get enough of these renderings and blueprints for Disney projects.
I'm pretty sure when I was in Tokyo this ride had a big queue. But then again, in Japan they'll line up for every ride. The Jungle Cruise had like a 40min+ wait at about 9:00pm, crazy.
Just want to say really enjoy this channel whilst being in the UK during COVID and without the ability to visit the parks. Really helps to give me my fix and love the history
I remember riding Peter Pan in Disneyworld in 2005, I think just the London scene. I've visited Disneyland more recently but never rode it since the lines were so long.
I haven’t been to the park since 2010 I think, and it seems like everything is brand new and changed from what I remember. It’s a long time from when I was a little boy in the early 60’s when my grandpa used to take me to the park at least once a month. Back in those days from what I recall the entry fee was very low as you purchased tickets separately and we used to go just to have popcorn and ice cream and watch the parade. Such happy memories. That old fantasyland was really cheap and tacky now that I look back on it but I always loved the Peter Pan flight and you could reach out and touch some of the buildings while flying over London, in at least some version.
The Peter Pan ride is a must for my family at Disneyland. Despite it being so old, the shortest line for it is usually 40 minutes or so on a good day. Anything less is a must to go to cuz that chance hardly happens. Over an hour is about average and if you’re in no rush or if it’s your last ride of the day, its worth it. I don’t know about other people’s experience with this ride but this is from my experience
I just wanna take a minute to thank you for putting in the time and effort you put into these videos for US. You’re entertaining and teaching a lot of people :)
I remember riding Peter Pan’s Flight at WDW in the early 80’s. It’s a magnificent ride. The dark rides at Disney Parks were ‘Ride The Movies’ unofficially before Universal Studios started using that slogan.
I've watched this a number of times now and I always enjoy it. I was reminded this time about E-Ticket. Before there was a cottage industry of Disney TH-camrs (you're the BEST!), there was The E-Ticket Magazine, a print quarterly that covered Disneyland history. I'd love to see a video about that magazine, which, for me, arrived with all the excitement of Naven Johnson over a new phone book. Those guys put their heart and soul into that publication, and I think it deserves some love and attention and maybe even a bit of praise. Thanks for your great work.
I remember my parents taking us to the new Fantasyland in 1983. I grew up in SoCal, and was lucky enough to go to Disneyland 2-3 times per year. I even got to perform in their parades a couple of times.
Literally the intro to this video triggered the memory of when I was a kid and my dad and I went onto Peter Pan’s Flight and we got stuck right over the volcano 😂
Peter Pan was the first ride that I went on, in Disneyland. My favorite rides are The Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain and The Pirates of the Caribbean
I have never been to Disneyland but I have been to Disney world a few times. Peter Pan really stuck in my memories as a young child and when I went back to the park as an adult it was a must do attraction for me. The magic and nostalgia that ride holds is very special for so many people and I’m glad it’s still around and at every Disney park- that was a fun fact I didn’t know before this video
I was lucky enough to go to Florida twice as a kid, I was 6 the first time and 8 the second time (2002 and then in 2004). I'm autistic so the first time i went to Disneyland, I had a meltdown because of how overwhelmed I was by everything around me, it was just a big sensory overload... I also suffered really badly from masklophobia too (which I have seen alot of Disney video's on here about that lately).I remember going on the Peter Pan ride and automatically being at peace and in awe of what was going on around me, i loved every minute of it. For me, it was the colours, the attention to detail and just the magical elements of the ride...it's definitely unique. Peter Pan was my favourite ride i went on back then and went on it numerous times when we visited. I'm sure if i went back now as an adult lol my tastes would be a little different but ill never forget how much it calmed me down and how beautiful it was. Disney can mean alot of different things to many people, but it never fails to touch your heart 💓. I really love these videos too, i find it so interesting!
The line was always so long for this ride, we almost never rode it when I was a kid. Consequently it was never even in the top 10 rides at Disneyland. Love the video!
I remember this ride. I was very little and used to love going on this ride. The fact that I remember it is because I used tp watch different versions of Peter Pan, including a stage play. It is always fun.
Peter Pan’s flight is awesome! I love all the fantasyland dark rides! I love seeing all the different versions of this ride. I never knew it changed so much
I went to Disneyland the first time for Grad Night in 1981. We arrived in the middle of the night and the lines were short for everything - it was awesome! I rode all the best rides several times, including Peter Pan's Flight, and Space Mountain over and over. We would literally get on again as soon as we got off. Needless to say, all future Disneyland visits were not as amazing.
Yeah I agree. If you don’t mind me asking and I don’t mean to put you on the spot, what was your favorite Disney dark ride that was based off of an animated movie?
thanks for another great video, I have a picture somewhere of me as a kid at the pirate ship restaurant which along with the sky buckets, and people mover are missed
13:05 I'm going off-theme here but is that actress the lady that does the voice acting for Nancy Drew in the Nancy Drew PC game series? Her voice sounds very very similar, just younger... This is a very cool historic attraction though. It's one of the few that never became so outdated that a major overhaul was the only perceived way to update it. And I like how it shows that suspension rides don't always have to be thrill rides to be amazing!
Love the brand new walk through at Disney world where you go through the darlings room and have that interactive shadow. It's beautiful but jesus I hate that the queue is that long. 😂
i don’t even like the peter pan movie but the ride is one of my favorites simply because it’s one of the few rides at disneyland that feels magical. It’s not saturated in it’s own popularity, like some of the other rides. It’s calm, quiet, and cozy, which makes it feel intimate in a way, and yet the effects inside paired with the flight system give the ride so much to look at and adore. In conclusion, tiny ride with little shiny pretty lights make it a joy to end my disney trip with. It’s very comforting
That’s actually my favorite ride I remember as a little kid been so excited to go to Disneyland because I always wanted to play the Peter Pan ride so bad every single day when I went to Disneyland and some and I still do love that ride until this day
Oh! you have a photo of the painted backdrop. I remember that fabric piece before it was auctioned by Van Eaton. My friend Mark was the guy who got it from the construction dumpster in 1982...
You were stuck in Peter Pan for 16 minutes?! Man I would of lost it :v Also good video as always And yes I know this is from like 3 years ago but still
CORRECTION: Please forgive my blunder during one of the last sentences of the episode, as I embarrassingly state that Peter Pan is the only original dark ride fantasyland attraction to appear in all “5 main theme parks”, but I somehow missed Hong Kong, as it doesn’t feature a version of the attraction.
Ironically Nara Dreamland the almost official Disney park in Japan had a install that was made a plain pirate ride after the licencing fell through.
It's OK! It happens to the best of us!

Did the ride get replaced or is it still there

Paris has the walk through with windows similar to the main street emporium windows. There is a ride at MK that is basically Dumbo with carpets.

Sounds like Knott's Berry Farm. At Disneyland, a cast member drives you in the cars on Main Street.
I went to the one in Paris in 1999 but haven't been to a Disneyland since then as couldn't afford it on my own.
First. Peter Pan is Like a test to see how busy the park is. If it’s over an hour, you’re gonna have a long day...
Really?

That's what I would tell guests all the time. If Peter Pan's line is 40 minutes, the park is basically dead.

I live in new york and haven't been to disney since around 2011. Watching these videos makes me feel like I'm there. Great work!
So that's where Buzzy is! Return Buzzy to Jenny Nichols immediately!
Ahhh! Thank you for answering so many questions! I’ve always been curious about this ride’s many iterations.
I remember riding Peter Pan in Disneyworld in 2005, I think just the London scene. I've visited Disneyland more recently but never rode it since the lines were so long.
if u go again, get a fast pass SPECIFICALLY for this ride. works like a charm
I haven’t been to the park since 2010 I think, and it seems like everything is brand new and changed from what I remember. It’s a long time from when I was a little boy in the early 60’s when my grandpa used to take me to the park at least once a month. Back in those days from what I recall the entry fee was very low as you purchased tickets separately and we used to go just to have popcorn and ice cream and watch the parade. Such happy memories. That old fantasyland was really cheap and tacky now that I look back on it but I always loved the Peter Pan flight and you could reach out and touch some of the buildings while flying over London, in at least some version.
10:23 My dad to my mom, but my mom hopes out of that car before he even finishes speaking~ 😂
The Peter Pan ride is a must for my family at Disneyland. Despite it being so old, the shortest line for it is usually 40 minutes or so on a good day. Anything less is a must to go to cuz that chance hardly happens. Over an hour is about average and if you’re in no rush or if it’s your last ride of the day, its worth it. I don’t know about other people’s experience with this ride but this is from my experience
Bringing back the nostalgic feels
😒
I just wanna take a minute to thank you for putting in the time and effort you put into these videos for US. You’re entertaining and teaching a lot of people :)
I remember riding Peter Pan’s Flight at WDW in the early 80’s. It’s a magnificent ride. The dark rides at Disney Parks were ‘Ride The Movies’ unofficially before Universal Studios started using that slogan.
I've watched this a number of times now and I always enjoy it. I was reminded this time about E-Ticket. Before there was a cottage industry of Disney TH-camrs (you're the BEST!), there was The E-Ticket Magazine, a print quarterly that covered Disneyland history. I'd love to see a video about that magazine, which, for me, arrived with all the excitement of Naven Johnson over a new phone book. Those guys put their heart and soul into that publication, and I think it deserves some love and attention and maybe even a bit of praise. Thanks for your great work.
I love this channel so much!!!!
One of my dad’s favorite rides! He was heartbroken when we went to Magic Kingdom in January, since it was down for refurbishment.
I remember my parents taking us to the new Fantasyland in 1983. I grew up in SoCal, and was lucky enough to go to Disneyland 2-3 times per year. I even got to perform in their parades a couple of times.
The Disney World Peter Pan ride scared me as a child....thank you for the behind the scenes...n
I thought I was the only one!
Literally the intro to this video triggered the memory of when I was a kid and my dad and I went onto Peter Pan’s Flight and we got stuck right over the volcano 😂
Amazing video as always, I love it when you upload Mark!
The most magical 2 mins in Disneyland!!
Peter Pan was the first ride that I went on, in Disneyland. My favorite rides are The Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain and The Pirates of the Caribbean
based
@@stonedimmaculate2942 Based what?
I could listen to the worst of news with this gentleman’s voice , and still be soothed
As little as I see the appeal of the movie, this ride is a classic.
I have never been to Disneyland but I have been to Disney world a few times. Peter Pan really stuck in my memories as a young child and when I went back to the park as an adult it was a must do attraction for me. The magic and nostalgia that ride holds is very special for so many people and I’m glad it’s still around and at every Disney park- that was a fun fact I didn’t know before this video
I'm loving the fact that we have Buzzy as this little tag a long character now.
One thing I love about your videos are funny edits from movies and shows.
I was lucky enough to go to Florida twice as a kid, I was 6 the first time and 8 the second time (2002 and then in 2004). I'm autistic so the first time i went to Disneyland, I had a meltdown because of how overwhelmed I was by everything around me, it was just a big sensory overload... I also suffered really badly from masklophobia too (which I have seen alot of Disney video's on here about that lately).I remember going on the Peter Pan ride and automatically being at peace and in awe of what was going on around me, i loved every minute of it.
For me, it was the colours, the attention to detail and just the magical elements of the ride...it's definitely unique. Peter Pan was my favourite ride i went on back then and went on it numerous times when we visited. I'm sure if i went back now as an adult lol my tastes would be a little different but ill never forget how much it calmed me down and how beautiful it was.
Disney can mean alot of different things to many people, but it never fails to touch your heart 💓.
I really love these videos too, i find it so interesting!
Here we goooooo
thank you Michael Eisner
Michael Eisner HELL YEAH! *flies in an incredibly fast spaceship* 🚀

I finally remembered to subscribe today
Please give Jenny Nicholson her son back
BRING HER THE BOY!!!
As in Buzzy?
She’s just waiting outside, her face pressed against the glass like a Dickensian orphan.
@@SirBlackReeds yes
@@Jogjosmowwdkfs So she made a video demanding Buzzy back or something?
The line was always so long for this ride, we almost never rode it when I was a kid. Consequently it was never even in the top 10 rides at Disneyland.
Love the video!
I'm in my 30s and been going to Disney since I was in first grade. So glad other grown ups are super fans of everything Disney. 😁
I remember this ride. I was very little and used to love going on this ride. The fact that I remember it is because I used tp watch different versions of Peter Pan, including a stage play. It is always fun.
History of Mr. Toad, PLEASE!!! Great work tho, keep it up!'
Peter Pan’s flight is awesome! I love all the fantasyland dark rides! I love seeing all the different versions of this ride. I never knew it changed so much
6:40 The special kind of Mom-anger that comes as a surprise attack
Alrighty, Here We Go! Second Star to the Right and Straight On till Morning! Er Eru ERU!
This was my favorite ride when I went to Disney as a kid ahh the memories
I absolutely love your videos. Excellent research and pacing!
My favorite ride I have such fond memories of it. As a kid who didn’t like loud sounds and lights this ride was prefect for me
I went to Disneyland the first time for Grad Night in 1981. We arrived in the middle of the night and the lines were short for everything - it was awesome! I rode all the best rides several times, including Peter Pan's Flight, and Space Mountain over and over. We would literally get on again as soon as we got off. Needless to say, all future Disneyland visits were not as amazing.
Great content! I miss the old rides at Disney from when I was kid
Yeah I agree. If you don’t mind me asking and I don’t mean to put you on the spot, what was your favorite Disney dark ride that was based off of an animated movie?
@@cooperwolfe5478 mr toads
I wish they'd bring back Mr Toad's Wild Ride...that was such a fun and spooky ride!
big agree, when i rode it at disneyland several years back i was so upset to hear it was taken out of disney world a long, long time ago
AMAZING! My favorite Disney ride ever! Just wondering, where did you find the blueprints for the original version's subsequent remodelings?
I love Peter Pan’s flight! I just wish it was longer since it’s practically an hour long wait for a ride that’s barley over a minute long.
Oof the opening commercial for WDW
Why did the Disney executives approve that script? Even then, wasn't such behavior repugnant? Apparently not. Shows you how far we've come.
thanks for another great video, I have a picture somewhere of me as a kid at the pirate ship restaurant which along with the sky buckets, and people mover are missed
13:05 I'm going off-theme here but is that actress the lady that does the voice acting for Nancy Drew in the Nancy Drew PC game series? Her voice sounds very very similar, just younger... This is a very cool historic attraction though. It's one of the few that never became so outdated that a major overhaul was the only perceived way to update it. And I like how it shows that suspension rides don't always have to be thrill rides to be amazing!
Love the brand new walk through at Disney world where you go through the darlings room and have that interactive shadow. It's beautiful but jesus I hate that the queue is that long. 😂
i don’t even like the peter pan movie but the ride is one of my favorites simply because it’s one of the few rides at disneyland that feels magical. It’s not saturated in it’s own popularity, like some of the other rides. It’s calm, quiet, and cozy, which makes it feel intimate in a way, and yet the effects inside paired with the flight system give the ride so much to look at and adore.
In conclusion, tiny ride with little shiny pretty lights make it a joy to end my disney trip with. It’s very comforting
That’s actually my favorite ride I remember as a little kid been so excited to go to Disneyland because I always wanted to play the Peter Pan ride so bad every single day when I went to Disneyland and some and I still do love that ride until this day
One of my favorite rides. I loved the flight over London effects!
Oh no! I heard the "Small World" song. Now I'm doomed to hear it in my head for several days. Thanks a lot.
I love that my favorite scene in Planes, Trains & Automobiles was used to dramatize guest complaints to Disney!!
Oh! you have a photo of the painted backdrop. I remember that fabric piece before it was auctioned by Van Eaton. My friend Mark was the guy who got it from the construction dumpster in 1982...
Awesome job :) I very much enjoy videos
like these and yours a very well made !
You were stuck in Peter Pan for 16 minutes?!
Man I would of lost it :v
Also good video as always
And yes I know this is from like 3 years ago but still
