The carrousel was inspired by the Griffith Park carousel, which Walt Disney often visited with his daughters, sparking the idea for Disneyland.
The carrousel was originally built in 1922 and was relocated to Disneyland in 1955, making it over a century old.
There are 68 hand-carved wooden horses, each uniquely painted and maintained.
The carrousel plays classic Disney tunes, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of Fantasyland.
Each horse is adorned with real gold leaf, silver, and bronze accents, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
It was one of the original attractions when Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955.
The name 'King Arthur Carrousel' ties into the medieval theme of Fantasyland, reflecting the legendary tales of King Arthur.
