KING ARTHUR CARROUSEL

© Disney

HISTORY
One of the original opening day attractions at Disneyland Park in 1955, King
Arthur Carrousel and most of its horses date back to 1922! This magical
masterpiece was handcrafted by the Dentzel Carousel Company in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and eventually found its way to Sunnyside Beach Park in Toronto,
Canada in 1922 before being purchased by Walt Disney.
Since Walt Disney wanted only jumping horses for his carrousel – not the other
animals which were part of the original – additional horses were added from
another at Coney Island. Each horse on King Arthur Carrousel is a hand-carved
antique, with a unique color palette - no two horses are painted alike!
We hope you enjoy creating your own miniature version of this beloved
Disneyland attraction!

MATERIALS GUIDE

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Color the pages.
2. Cut out the pieces on each sheet - you can be as detailed as you’d like!
3. Take your “Large Base Template” and use it to trace a circle onto cardboard and
cut out. Repeat this step with your “Mid-Base” and “Spinner Base”, this time
punching a hole in the center, as indicated, and gluing the paper templates on
top. You should now have (3) base piece total. Set aside.
4. Using your “Base Support Template”, trace the outline (6) times onto thin
cardboard. Cut the pieces out and fold down the center as indicated to create
a “V” shape. Glue these (6) pieces of cardboard to the underside of your “Mid-
Base” circle, aligning the point of the cardboard “V” with the lines on the
template. Make sure you leave enough room to insert your straw “tent poles”

HISTORY INSTRUCTIONS
Transportation is always a highlight in a magical day at
Disneyland. No visit is complete without a leisurely ride on a horse
drawn trolley down Main Street. The beautiful trolley and friendly
horses have been clickety - clopping down main street since
the parks opening day in 1955.

The trolleys transport visitors along a route that travels between

Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Disneyland Train Station. The image 1

Disneyland horses are considered cast members, and each of the

horses has its own oversize cast member name tag. How adorable!
Have fun coloring and playing with your very own
Disney horse and trolley!
