Fantasyland at Disneyland Paris includes several traditional Disney "dark rides," indoor ride-through attractions which use black light effects to highlight characters and sets. Each of these unfolds behind a collection of facades both fantastical and at the same time reminiscent of the part of Europe in which the story takes place.
Peter Pan's Flight takes place in an area inspired by Edwardian England, the same era and setting as James Barrie's original tale. Of course, in this version the roof shingles are more colorful, and the weather vanes come in the shapes of pirate ships and crocodiles.
Inside, Guests board pirate galleons for a flight through the Darling children's nursery, and then high above London on their way to Never Land. The attraction itself unfolds in the traditional manner, most similar to the version at Disneyland in California.
As the journey to Never Land concludes, Tinker Bell douses our ship with (fiber optic) Pixie Dust to return us safely to Fantasyland. Don't forget to wave goodbye to the mermaids. Farewell, ladies! Until we meet again...
When you exit this part of Fantasyland and enter Adventureland, the first thing you see is Hook´s Galleon. This is the kind of storytelling and attention to detail that I love about this park!
ReplyDeleteExcellent point! It is a truly fantastic transition between the two lands.
