The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is an attraction in Adventureland.

Ride History and Description

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a hub and spoke attraction located in Adventureland. The ride is based on the 1992 Disney movie Aladdin, and it is similar to Dumbo the Flying Elephant in Fantasyland.The Magic Carpets opened May 21, 2001 in the newly created Agrabah Bazaar (an expansion of Adventureland).

When guests enter the loading area they are able to choose from 16 magic carpets. Riders are also given the ability to choose whether they want to sit in the front row or the back. Front row passengers can control the height of the carpet, while back row passengers can tilt the carpet to the left or right. Once seated, riders are instructed how to fly their carpets before being lifted into the air. The magic carpets fly in circles around the Genie's lamp (which is decorated with characters from Disney's Aladdin) while music from the movie plays. Guests should also watch out for a large camel that “spits” water at the carpets. After 90 seconds the carpets descend back to the loading area , and guests exit the ride.

Fun Facts and Trivia

  • If you want to get hit by the spitting camel, fly your carpet at mid-level.
  • The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is the first permanent Aladdin themed attraction in Walt Disney World.
  • In 2001, the construction Agrabah Bazaar (and subsequently the Magic Carpets of Aladdin) added an Arabian theme to Adventureland that had not previously existed.
