Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Dumbo the Flying Elephant is one of the best-known Disney attractions. You climb into a little elephant based on the 1941 film Dumbo and fly in circles above a dancing fountain.
The concept
In the centre of the attraction, Timothy Q. Mouse sits atop a decorated hot-air balloon. With his "magic" feather he gives the signal. To the sound of a cheerful organ, Dumbo lifts off the ground and glides round in circles.
The Experience
With the lever in your gondola, you decide whether to fly high or skim low over the fountain. The wind blows through your hair, but it never gets scary. The original version opened in 1955 at Disneyland in California; according to the park, every Disneyland park has a Dumbo.
