From here , the attraction takes us through famous scenes from the film . We fly over the colorful and noisy — listen closely for “ Fire , Mr . Smee !”— world of Neverland before passing by Mermaid Lagoon , Tiger Lily ' s camp , Skull Rock , and finally Hook ’ s ship , with Wendy about to walk the plank .
As we round the corner , we catch a glimpse of the lurking Crocodile , waiting for a moment we all know so well . But before the Croc gets his prey , we ’ re treated to a scene of slain pirates as Audio-Animatronic Peter now takes the ship ’ s helm . We wave goodbye as Smee rows out to Hook caught in a perilous trap before meeting the view of the flying golden ship that takes us home .
