/* Attraction History */
Like many of Walt Disney World's opening day attractions, the history of Peter Pan's Flight began in the early 1950s as an idea for a Disneyland attraction. In 1964 Disney artist Herb Ryman created concept art for some of the attraction's major scenes. These included the Mermaid Lagoon scene, as well as a large rainbow that was never used. <ref name= "avenue"> http://www.disneyavenue.com/2014/07/making-of-peter-pans-flight.html </ref> In August 1954, Imagineer Marvin Davis completed a design for the "Peter Pan Fly Thru", which now included scenes showing Hangman's Tree and Crocodile Creek. This ride plan also had guests flying through openings in the face of Skull Rock. <ref name="walt" > http://www.waltdisney.org/sites/default/files/Pan_2.jpg </ref>. Of note is the fact that in both Davis and Ryman's plans, the ships moved counterclockwise. This is the opposite direction that the ships would move when the ride was actually constructed <ref name= "avenue"/>.
Besides coming up with the ride's general layout, Marvin Davis was also responsible for the unique ride system that the attraction used. Instead of having the vehicles run on a ground track, the ride vehicles are connected by a large rod to a track on the ceiling. By late 1954, a test track and ride mockup were created by Bob Mattey and other Imagineers in the Special Effects shop building at the Walt Disney Studio <ref name= "walt"/>.
In early 1955, Imagineers and artists Ken Anderson and Claude Coats were charged with painting the attraction. According to Anderson"
