Dumbo the Flying Elephant at The Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World
Take Flight
Hop atop Dumbo and take off into the air on a joyful journey amid the jubilant sounds of carnival music. Based on Disney's 1941 animated classic Dumbo, Dumbo the Flying Elephant invites you to accompany everybody's favorite circus elephant as he discovers his unique ability to fly.
Dumbo's faithful friend Timothy Q. Mouse greets you from the arched entry, directing the action with help from his "magic" feather. As a jovial band organ melody begins, Dumbo gracefully lifts off from the ground and magically begins to fly around and around.
Double The Size For Twice The Fun
This isn't your everyday flight of fancy. The classic Dumbo ride has been dramatically transformed, and now it's twice the fun. The new attraction features 2 sets of rotating elephants, moving in opposite directions as they fly through the air.
How High Will You Fly?
During your aerial adventure, you can direct Dumbo to soar skyward or fly low by moving the handle inside the Dumbo-themed gondola. Feel the wind in your face as you take in the sweeping views of Storybook Circus below.
Play Before You Ride
A circus-themed play area keeps the little ones having fun before taking flight. Upon arrival, you'll receive a pager that "virtually" holds your place in line. Step inside the big-top tent and enjoy an air-conditioned playground complete with slides, climbing net, and even a toddler section. Kids of all ages will love to be part of the circus show as parents relax in ample seating.

![Golden Zephyr - California Adventure - 4K 2016 - Disneyland
Golden Zephyr is an attraction at Paradise Pier in Disney California Adventure Park. Themed to the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon style rocket ships, it takes park guests on a relaxing trip. Unlike its cousins Dumbo and the Astro Orbitor next door in Disneyland Park, the Golden Zephyr rockets are controlled by centripetal motion over Paradise Bay and can not be automatically controlled to go up and down.
The Golden Zephyrs design comes from the Harry Traver Circle Swing[1] rides of the early 20th century, specifically the Aerostat / Strat-O-Stat ride that operated at Riverview Park in Chicago. In designing the ride, Disney engineers visited Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, England to examine the Captive Flying Machines, a similar (but much larger) ride designed by Sir Hiram Maxim, and which has operated there since 1904.
Unfortunately, the ride cannot operate at constant wind speeds over 10 miles per hour (16 km/h), or gusts over 15 miles per hour (24 km/h). Neither this attraction nor Jumpin Jellyfish was removed or changed as part of the billion-dollar expansion.
