Where is King Arthur Carrousel?
King Arthur Carrousel is in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park, within Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. Disneyland identifies it as one of the attractions that opened with the park in 1955.
The carousel has an earlier history, too. Disney says it was handcrafted by the Dentzel Carousel Company in Philadelphia and reached Sunnyside Beach Park in Toronto in 1922. The carrousel Walt Disney purchased had horses, giraffes, deer and other animals; antique horses were added during its renovation. Disneyland’s attractions also include Storybook Land Canal Boats.
What can you expect on the ride?
The ride features 68 hand-painted horses and a fanciful chariot. As the horses glide up and down, a fairground organ plays classic Disney tunes.
Look above the horses to see nine hand-painted Sleeping Beauty vignettes on the inner rounding board. The carousel’s horses and painted details give the attraction a connection to its historic fairground origins.
