Nice attraction. And WDW gets a Tangled restroom instead. That says a lot.
Now that Japan has lost Spidey, this is actually a good remedy….though Spidey is better obviously lolThere's quite a bit more physical setwork there than the previous clips seemed to imply. It now looks like a super-plussed version of Ratatouille to me. Tokyo doesn't really have anything like it, so while Universal partisans may look at it and say, "That's just Spider-Man," it seems like a nice addition for Tokyo.
The newly-arranged musical score for the ride sounds fantastic, and on a structure level, ending with the "You Can Fly!" flight over London is a great choice (which also sets it apart from Peter Pan's Flight).
The way the transitions between the domed screens and practical effects are done seamlessly is very impressive.There's quite a bit more physical setwork there than the previous clips seemed to imply.

This video clearly shows that the vehicle is on a track as it makes its way through load. I'm not quite sure how the vehicle achieves such a high range of motion if there's a platform underneath it.
Yes, it is basically exactly like the scoop it looks. Seems the motion is a lot tamer than the scoop but that may just be a choice for this particular ride.Maybe there is some sort of lift or motion base under the RV the gives It the range of motion like the SCOOP at Universal.
I'm so jealous.
If OLC does indeed retheme, I assume they will want to see Tiana to see if they are willing to clone, or if they’d do something totally different.Actually, yes. CEO Toshio Kagami retired in 2023. He had been CEO since 2005 and had been with OLC since the '70s, before TDL even started construction (I believe he is still Chairman).
No idea if those things are related though.
On the topic of TWDC pressure, rumors are that Disney is cranking up the pressure on OLC to retheme Splash Mountain lately.
It would be cool to see them retheme it with a different IP, Moana perhaps?If OLC does indeed retheme, I assume they will want to see Tiana to see if they are willing to clone, or if they’d do something totally different.
He's my favorite Disney parks expert. Critical but thoughtful, and even if I'm not 100% in agreement I always appreciate his reasoningTom Brickler from the Disney Tourist blog dropped a detailed review on the Peter Pan ride:
Disney's Newest E-Ticket is an Amazing Avatar Flight Meets Spider-Man Adventure
Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure is a ride in Fantasy Springs, the $2 billion expansion featuring this area plus the Frozen Kingdom and Rapunzel’s Forest from Tangled. The new port-of-call is the most expensive landwww.disneytouristblog.com
