All the reports are true: the Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a spinning ride that is similar, and in the same park, as the Dumbo ride. But it always has a shorter line, it's based on the Aladdin movie--which is way better than the Dumbo movie (and has its own Sega Genesis game)--it's located closer to the park entrance (a shorter walk and easier to get to), and is located in a more fun area of the park, at least for adults. While your little one spins above the market below, you can also enjoy a Dole Whip, which are sold just a few feet away. The magic carpets have seating for 4 guests at a time (more than Dumbo), rotate around a giant genie bottle, and has a spitting camel that you can try to steer yourself into. Unlike the Dumbo ride, the magic carpets also allow for more control -- if you're seated in the front row, you can direct how high or low you fly by moving the onboard lever up or down. If you're sitting in the back row, pressing the magic scarab will tip your flying carpet forward or backward. If you like the Dumbo ride, or the Triceratop Spin ride at the Animal Kingdom, you should love the Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride.
