Falling for Peter Pan’s Flight
That poor couple had NO idea that wasn’t supposed to happen 😂
Peter Pan’s Flight was originally going to be called Peter Pan Fly Thru and it did look a little bit different in 1955. They didn’t add the part with the pirate ship until the 1983 remodel, where they borrowed the scene from the Walt Disney World version of the attraction.
Before this ride was finalized, they had a lot of interesting ideas for what might happen in it. If you look at the Disneyland prospectus that they gave to sponsors to try to convince them to invest in Disneyland, you’ll find a few things that we don’t have in the attraction today. One said that the Jolly Roger would target you with ping-pong balls, and another had Captain Hook trying to stab you with his sword. One feature I wish we did have now is Big Ben chiming as you fly around it. I don’t believe that concept ever actually made it into the attraction.
Perhaps my favorite part of the story is how this couple embraced the adventure, even when it might’ve been a little too exciting 😂 Sometimes life might give you some unexpected falls, but the attitude you have about it will determine your way forward 💜
