In 2009, Disney announced that Dumbo the Flying Elephant would be moved to the Storybook Circus expansion of Fantasyland. The attraction closed January 9 2012, after which it was moved to its new location. As part of the Storybook Circus expansion, Disney announced that the new Dumbo attraction would actually feature two carousels, which would increase capacity and lower wait times.
When Storybook Circus began soft openings on March 12 , 2012, one of the two Dumbo carousels was operational. Dumbo the Flying Elephant now featured an all new look which included: a new color scheme (of red, blue and gold), a new soundtrack, and panels at the base of the attraction that depict various scenes from the movie. The refurbished Dumbo attraction also included water features at foot of the carousel (similar to the Dumbo attractions at other Disney parks) which light up in a variety of colors at night. On June 22 2013, 2012, the second Dumbo carousel opened to guests. Although nearly identical to the first, the second Dumbo spins counterclockwise to the other one.
