184. Is Disneyland Paris the Best Version of Peter Pan’s Flight? : Comparing Anaheim vs. Paris - Peter Pan Part 9
Disneyland Paris is known for having some of the most beautiful and elaborate attractions of any Disney park. But is that also true for Peter Pan’s Flight?On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we fly across the pond to explore the Disneyland Paris version of Peter Pan’s Flight. Using historic photos, Imagineering design concepts, and primary source documents, we uncover how this attraction was created and take a virtual fly-through, comparing it side by side with the original ride in Disneyland, Anaheim.Along the way, we visit the extinct Euro Disneyland preview center, discover props that were mistakenly thrown away, and discuss the early financial struggles of the park. After a brief creator break, where we share some of our own challenges and how we’ve overcome them, we return to the ride for one final flight… and realize that what we once thought was the superior version may not be the best after all.Join us LIVE on YouTube every week!
