Attraction  
 

Walt Disney wanted to recreate the Griffith Park carousel.

Therefore, a Dentzel park model carousel which had operated since 1932 at Sunnyside Amusement Park in Toronto, Ontario was taken from Sunnyside and moved to Disneyland in 1954.

The ride was originally a Menagerie Carousel, consisting of three rows of horses and animals on a 22 meter diameter platform.

The attraction was built by William Dentzel.

The carousel has been significantly altered since then. The original chariots were removed and used as cars on the "Casey Jr. Circus Train" attraction.

A Wurlitzer #157 band organ face is on the carousel, but does not operate. Motifs from Sleeping Beauty were used in 1955 to replace elements of the carousel. Also the Princess and the Jester Head motifs have been redone in 18k gold leaf.
