Review from November 2002 by Deirdre Sargent:
Adventureland has a new ride, Aladdin’s Magic Carpets. Think of this as Dumbo with a spitting camel. This is a really fun ride and great for the whole family. You ride on carpets. I mean, how cool is that?  There are two compartments. The front seats control the carpet going up and down and the back seats control the carpet tilting forward or back (don’t worry, it doesn’t tip that far). For additional laughs and giggles, when you first take off, you have to pass a camel that is spitting at you so get your carpet over his head unless you want to get wet!  Another alternative is to put your teenager in that spot.

Kid Grade (G): Suitable for all ages.  Small kids will either love the flying or be a bit scared.  If they can handle Dumbo, they can handle this.
