It’s no secret that the new Fantasy Springs area of the Tokyo Disney Resort is already ticking all the boxes for Disney fans. The new space is set to open on June 6th and showcases some of Disney’s most classic stories in a new, creative space. Frozen, Tangled, and the iconic Peter Pan are all represented with attractions, dining locations, and shopping/entertainment areas. The Peter Pan’s Flight attraction has always been a wildly popular ride at both Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park. Yet, this is the first time we have seen a new, reimagined version of how to provide guests with that quintessential Peter Pan experience, using a blend of new technology and a brand-new storyline that expands on the classic tale we all know and love.
On Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure, you’re invited to join Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the Lost Kids in a daring quest to rescue John from the clutches of Captain Hook and his band of pirates. Aboard a boat sprinkled with pixie dust by Tinker Bell, you’ll soar into the sky and encounter iconic scenes and characters from the beloved Disney Animation film ‘Peter Pan,’ including Wendy, Michael, the mischievous mermaids, and even Captain Hook’s formidable ship, the Jolly Roger.

Imagineers explored various ride systems, ultimately settling on a motion base to create the illusion of soaring through the air. This innovative approach, combined with meticulous attention to detail, resulted in a full six degrees of freedom motion base, a turntable and track system that delivers an unparalleled sense of flight and immersion.
The groundbreaking solid state projection system allows a single lens to create stunning 3D effects. This, coupled with meticulous testing and integration of practical sets, ensured a seamless blend of physical and digital elements, enhancing the overall immersive experience.
Let’s spend a few moments with Mark Shirmer, Executive Creative Producer for Fantasy Springs, and take a look at the inner workings of this ride, where technology is seamlessly integrated with physical sets, leaving you with an incredible sense of adventure on this immersive attraction.
We can’t wait to experience the new Fantasy Springs at Tokyo Disney Sea after its official opening this June! Will you be planning a trip to enjoy the new face of Disney in Japan?
