Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Dumbo the Flying Elephant is the classic carousel ride in Storybook Circus, the circus-themed area of Fantasyland. You fly on the back of Dumbo, the elephant from the 1941 Disney film.
The concept
In the film, Dumbo discovers he can fly with his big ears. His loyal friend Timothy Q. Mouse helps him with a "magic" feather. In Storybook Circus, the little elephants spin round to cheerful organ music. The whole ride sits in the middle of Storybook Circus, the cheerful circus area of Fantasyland.
The Experience
When the music starts, the little elephants take off and you make graceful circles above the circus grounds. Using a lever, you steer your elephant up or down. Children love deciding the height themselves. The ride is gentle and short, but for many children it's a highlight of the day.
