Disney Faces ANOTHER Lawsuit

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

One of the most beloved attractions at the Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort is Peter Pan’s Flight. This enchanting ride allows guests to soar above the lands of Neverland alongside Peter Pan, the mischievous boy who never grows up. As one of the original attractions at Walt Disney World Resort, Peter Pan’s Flight continues to captivate visitors with its magical storytelling and immersive experience.

Unfortunately, it was also the alleged sight of a young Guest’s injury this past May.

Peter Pan’s Flight debuted in 1971 with the opening of Magic Kingdom, becoming an instant success among Disney enthusiasts. Inspired by Walt Disney’s classic animated film, “Peter Pan,” this attraction takes riders on a whimsical journey through scenes from the movie, allowing them to relive their favorite moments from the story. The ride is a popular choice for families visiting the Park due to its calm nature and slow-moving ride vehicle.

Unfortunately for New Jersey man Daniel Blanco and his son, their ride was anything but relaxing. Blanco has alleged that his son sustained injuries while riding the attraction on May 18, 2023. The lawsuit, which was filed in the Orange County Circuit Court, states;

“When the ride operator announced it would be starting back up, the ride jerked and slammed Plaintiff’s head into the ride carriage. The whiplash was not a part of the normal ride; it was a malfunction and caused Plaintiff severe and permanent injuries.”

Unfortunately, this is not the only lawsuit that Disney has faced this year from Guests. Not long ago, a woman filed her own lawsuit after she was allegedly shut between the doors of Disney’s Monorail.

It is clear from all accounts that Disney probably wishes for the lawsuits to come to an end once and for all.

But the real magic begins when your ship takes a leap of faith and enters the starlit night sky. As you fly over the rooftops, you’ll encounter familiar scenes from the beloved animated film, including the Darling children’s bedroom, the mermaid lagoon, and the swashbuckling battle aboard Captain Hook’s pirate ship.

One of the highlights of Peter Pan’s Flight is the stunning audio-visual effects that bring the story to life. From the glowing pixie dust that illuminates your ship to the lively characters and intricate set designs, every detail is carefully crafted to immerse you in the enchanting world of Neverland.

The attraction’s popularity can be attributed to its timeless appeal and the sense of nostalgia it evokes. For many guests, riding Peter Pan’s Flight is like revisiting a cherished childhood memory and reliving the magic that Disney movies create.

Guests Stuck on Peter Pan’s Flight Get Help from Fire Department

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Even in the most magical of places such as a Disney Park, attractions get stuck and mishaps happen. A recent clip is surfacing on social media showing Guests stuck on Magic Kingdom’s Peter Pan’s Flight attraction, as the fire department comes to the rescue with a ladder.

We recently saw over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Kilimanjaro Safaris had a broken down vehicle which led to an evacuation. Over at EPCOT Guests were stuck on top of a hill on Frozen Ever After. And recently, at Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover were evacuated due to smoke coming from a refrigerator.

From attraction malfunctions to situations where Guests caused the issue (such as the boy that jumped out of the Splash Mountain boat), while it’s rare… you never know if your ride will be unexpectedly interrupted.

This time, the mishap took place at Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom Park. The popular Peter Pan’s Flight attraction in Fantasyland stopped. With an above head track guiding Guests through Neverland, a ladder was needed to exit the attraction.

Amber (@muggleonmainstreet) took to Instagram to share a brief video of getting stuck on Peter Pan’s Flight with the note, “Getting stuck on Peter Pan’s Flight was a new experience. The fire department was kind enough to help us down with a ladder. Want to see more Disney fun? Come follow me.”

Check out the brief clip in her Instagram post below:

The Mickey Mouse with the clip saying, “Oh no! The ride. It’s broken” fits perfectly. Here’s a screenshot of the video for a better look. You’ll see the ships above the London scene with the lights on which is rare to see for this normally dark ride.
