Just came back from wonderful 9 day trip from Disneyland. We took 3 year break from Disney before this trip.
Went to Aladin first time in 3 years and noticed the flying carpet was missing from the show.
Is this temporary change? When did they pull out the flying carpet from the show? Was there any accident?
:confused:

September, 2011. It's been gone since.

Over a year ago, like August 2011ish, the carpet flipped over leaving the actor and actress dangling from their harnesses upside down while they cleared the theatre. There is a thread around here somewhere that even links to a youtube video of them dangling. I don't know that we ever heard the outcome of the investigation by OSHA. I have heard rumors that the actresses don't want (or at least one of them) to get back on the carpet.
We had seen the carpet in May of 2011, by December the accident had happened and we had the enlarged stage portion.
