Here's a look at all the stuff that was added to Peter Pan's Flight at DLR. Most of these little details cannot be captured in video because of the low light conditions, so I actually didn't know of some of these until now.

Looks like some nice upgrades to an already very nice ride.

I hope they didn't go over-the-top with hi tech upgrades though, because to me a large part of the charm is the 1950s theatrical stage-set appearance of much of the ride. I can't put my finger on it, but the scenery and figures at WDW's Pan have an appearance of being made with wood and canvas and painted with flat stage paint and lit with incandescent and UV lighting effects. Modern rides give a look and feel of PVC plastic, LED lights and video screens that if overdone will take you out of the feeling of being in a 1910s story (or whenever Peter Pan was set) and into a video game.

Well ... at least we know where the benches (and trash cans?) that have been disappearing from the theme parks are ending up ...

Okay, that's a new low. Even for them... I love the bench that they placed in front of the old doors to the main room. Just pretend that nothing is back there. I think they are under the mistaken mindset that if you put up a few pictures of Walt, no one will notice the skull and crossbones across the room.

And they wonder why this park is struggling...

Saw this earlier this morning on twitter. Serious imagineering going on right here....

I'm just hoping no Imagineer was involved in that space. I believe this was the work of DHS or TDO management who decided that this lounge should be there. It's been pretty consistently pathetic at each theme park for these offerings. They reuse furniture from existing spaces and cram it into awkward locations.

This is 3 down, and only one to go. They get worse each time. What's DAK's going to be like, inside a zoo cage? (thank goodness they have great management)
