TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

I can show you the world.Shining, shimmering, splendid.  That’s because on today’s episode we’re going to ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

The Walt Disney World Website describes this attraction saying: Fly high over Adventureland on an enchanted carpet ride inspired by the Disney movie Aladdin.

There are no height requirements for this attraction.

Before we see a new fantastic point of view, here are five fast facts about The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

1. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin opened at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, May 23, 2001.

2.  While similar to Dumbo the Flying Elephant which we covered in Attraction Checklist Episode #164, each carpet  vehicle of The Magic Carpets of Aladdin can hold more than two riders.

3. The riders in the front of the magic carpet can control how high each carpet can soar into the air.

4. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin inspired two similar versions of the attraction in other Disney Parks.  Flying Carpets Over Agrabah in Disneyland Paris and Jasmine’s Flying Carpets at the Tokyo Disney Resort.

5. The infamous spitting golden camels at the entrance to the attraction had a former life as part of a flat in the Aladdin’s Royal Caravan Parade that ran from 1992 to 1995.

Let’s get in line and ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin..  After the show I’ll give you my thoughts on this classic attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
