Plussing Peter Pan's Flight in Tokyo

Always give credit where credit is due. You've got to hand it to those folks at the Oriental Land Company who are constantly looking at how to "plus" the Tokyo Disney Resort. With the upcoming expansion ready to go in March, it surprised me to discover that the Imagineers had offered up this piece of concept art to refresh their Fantasyland classic, Peter Pan's Flight.  

At Tokyo Disneyland, things are always under improvement in addition to being meticulously maintained. The Florida parks in particular should be so fortunate. 

Thanks to Randy Savage at the WDWMagic Boards, we have this piece. Like me, he peruses the websites of Imagineering individuals to find what's been considered at all the parks. Thanks for this one, Randy. 

On the left half, in addition to a new facade for this classic, it looks like the Tea Cups have moved next door ...and indoors. Did you notice the ship flying out the window at the Darling home? Pretty cool little touch! Will this art see the light of day? Maybe. Never say never when it comes to Tokyo.

Just as for so many others, Peter Pan's Flight is a favorite attraction, so much so that I've spent hours writing on it for the blog. The original Disney Dark Ride Series: Peter Pan Flight article is here, and the newer revised edition can be found here. Additionally, there's even more rare concept art and information to be found here.
