After a lengthy closure of over ten months, Disneyland Paris is thrilled to announce the reopening of its beloved Flying Carpets Over Agrabah attraction. Set to welcome guests back on November 9, 2024, the refurbishment aimed to enhance the experience for visitors of all ages.
The closure, which took place in January, allowed the dedicated teams at Disneyland Paris to carry out extensive renovations that touch every aspect of the ride.
The refurbishment process was a collaborative effort involving Disney Imagineers, who brought their visionary designs to the table. Their expertise ensured that the attraction not only met guests’ expectations but also aligned with Disney’s high standards for immersive entertainment.
The anticipation of families flying on magic carpets once again filled the air as the reopening date approached, marking a new chapter for the iconic ride.

Enhancements to the Ride
Guests can expect an upgraded experience when they hop aboard the Flying Carpets Over Agrabah. The enhancements focus on both visuals and the overall ride design, providing a fresh perspective on this classic attraction. Upgrades in lighting and vibrant new colors breathe life into the landscapes of Agrabah, making the experience more enchanting.
In addition to aesthetic improvements, safety features have also received a careful review and enhancement. Disneyland Paris has prioritized the safety of its guests, ensuring that the attraction adheres to the latest standards.
The renovations took place at Disneyland Paris’ central workshops, where skilled artisans meticulously worked on every component of the ride to ensure that it would not only be visually stunning but also completely safe for families to enjoy.
Location and Theme of the Attraction
Flying Carpets Over Agrabah is strategically located within Walt Disney Studios Park, one of the two theme parks that make up Disneyland Paris. The design and theme closely mirror similar attractions found at other Disney parks, particularly resembling the existing Dumbo rides.
However, this unique ride draws inspiration from the enchanting world of Aladdin, immersing guests in the charm of Agrabah.
The thematic connection to the Aladdin franchise is evident throughout the experience. Amid the vibrant colors and enticing aromas of the marketplace, guests find themselves in a magical realm where they can create their own adventure, just like Aladdin and Jasmine. This fusion of beloved characters and captivating environments continues to make the attraction a favorite among families and Disney enthusiasts alike.
