Peter's ride vehicles don't hold as many guests and would logically create a longer line and wait time.

But I'll still take Pan, even in it's current condition, over Snow White. The suspended ride vehicles and "flying through the air" perspective provides something that no other Disney dark ride has.

Originally Posted By CDF2 The Toad ride was always a more immersive experience than the Snow White ride - on Toad you get a variety of physical sensations and sight gags - with Snow White you get essentially a diorama kind of presentation. Interesting that one of the new rides for WDW Fantasyland will be a dwarf coaster - Walt Disney's original idea was to have Toad be an indoor coaster.
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: Of course you can only speak for yourself, CDF2, duckling because when I rode Snow White I felt like it was a very immersing experience--just as much as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was. I can't help wondering if some of you ducklings who don't like Snow White's dark ride are really against the Disney princesses in general. Maybe that's what's really behind some of the dislike you have for her dark ride. There does seem to be an awful lot of princess bashing going on--along with bashing of other Disney characters in general. It's sad to see that taking place on a site that's supposed to be celebrating the Disney characters instead of criticizing them so much.

I don't really like the whole BRAND OF PRINCESSES, but I thought the art form deserves representation in a ark ride.
