IASW, Peter Pan's Flight (which is also in bad shape), Dumbo, Snow White, and the Carousel were all there at the beginning. I can remember them back when I was a little kidand my first trip was in Nov. 1971 when I was 2. We have pictures of me back then on the Carousel and Dumbo's Flying Elephants.
When we went on PPF on our last visit in Oct. 2003, It was so sad to see the paint peeling off Wendy's face (the Wendy on the gangplank) and it was so obvious to me. I couldn't help but notice it because that one of the character's that the flying ship flies close to. I also noticed cracked paint on several of the other characters as well, but none was as obvious as Wendy. It just made me sad. My DD (who is 10) didn't notice because this was her first trip and she was caught up in the sensation of being on a flying ship, but I noticed as did my mother who was behind us. I couldn't believe that they would let that happen to that ride let alone any ride and it stuck in my head.
