 Peter Pan's Flight is an attraction located in [[Fantasyland]].
 ==Attraction History==
-Like many of Walt Disney World's opening day attractions, the history of Peter Pan's Flight began in the early 1950s as an idea for a Disneyland attraction. In 1954 Disney artist Herb Ryman created concept art for a Peter Pan attraction planned for Disneyland's Fantasyland. Included in the art were a Mermaid Lagoon scene, as well as a large rainbow that was never used. <ref name= "avenue"> http://www.disneyavenue.com/2014/07/making-of-peter-pans-flight.html </ref> In August 1954, Imagineer Marvin Davis completed a design for the "Peter Pan Fly Thru" attractopm, which now included scenes showing Hangman's Tree and Crocodile Creek. This ride plan also had guests flying through openings in the face of Skull Rock. <ref name="walt" > http://www.waltdisney.org/sites/default/files/Pan_2.jpg </ref>. Of note is the fact that in both Davis and Ryman's plans, the ships that guests rode in moved counterclockwise. This is the opposite direction that the ships would move when the ride was actually constructed <ref name= "avenue"/>.

-Besides coming up with the ride's general layout, Marvin Davis was also responsible for the unique ride system that the attraction used. Instead of having the vehicles run on a ground track, the ride vehicles were instead connected by a large rod to a track on the ceiling. By late 1954, a test track and ride mockup were created by Bob Mattey and other Imagineers in the Special Effects shop building at the Walt Disney Studios <ref name= "walt"/>.

 Peter Pan's Flight (as the attraction was eventually named) opened in Disneyland on July 17, 1955 <ref name= "allears"> http://allears.net/tp/mk/pan.htm </ref>. Although very popular, initially Disney did not want to create a version of the attraction for the unbuilt Walt Disney World.  Instead, Peter Pan's Flight was to be replaced by a Mary Poppins ride that took guests “flying” through various scenes from the movie <ref name= "Korkis"> https://www.mouseplanet.com/10436/Mary_Poppins_Fun_Facts </ref>. Eventually however, due to either the cost of creating the new attraction, or guest expectations for a Fantasyland that was similar to Disneyland, it was decided to include an expanded version of Disneyland's Peter Pan's Flight in Walt Disney World <ref name= Korkis/>.
-With this task in mind, in February 1971, Imagineers Bill Justice and Bill Martin completed drawings for the Magic Kingdom version of the attraction <ref name= "walt"/>.  Unlike the original Disneyland version  where guests played the role of Peter Pan, in Walt Disney World's version guests would fly over various scenes from the movie. To this end, Audio Animatronics of Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, various Pirates, and Indians were created for the Magic Kingdom's Peter Pan's Flight. Scenes featuring: Wendy reading to the boys in the nursery, Indians in their camp, and a climatic duel between Captain Hook and Peter Pan were also added to the new attraction. Also included in the Florida version was Captain Hook's 48 foot pirate shop where the duel takes place <ref name= "walt"/>. On final difference between the two attractions is that unlike Disneyland's Peter Pan's Flight, the ride vehicles in Walt Disney World use an omnimover ride system similar to the one used in the [[Haunted Mansion]] <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/guide/148/Walt-Disney-World/Magic-Kingdom/Fantasyland/Peter-Pans-Flight </ref>. Peter Pan Flight eventually opened on October 3, 1971, two days after the Magic Kingdom's grand opening <ref name= "allears"/>.

 Although Peter Pan's Flight hasn't seen any major changes since it opened, the attraction did debut a new interactive queue on January 29, 2015. Following the refurbishment, the queue is now themed so that guests enter the Darling children's nursery. While going through the nursery, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell pay guests a visit <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/peter-pans-flight/news/29jan2015-video---peter-pans-flight-debuts-new-interactive-features-in-expanded-queue-area.htm </ref>.
