King Triton's Carousel of the Sea was an attraction in Paradise Pier at Disney California Adventure hosted by King Triton from The Little Mermaid. The attraction closed on March 5, 2018 and reopened as Jessie's Critter Carousel on April 5, 2019 to match the theming of the new Pixar Pier.
Summary[]
Unlike the horse arrangement of the King Arthur Carrousel in Disneyland, King Triton's Carousel of the Sea featured sea horses, flying fish, whales, dolphins, sea lions, otters, and garibaldi. Purists will point out that the attraction was misnamed, as any carousel that features animals other than horses is called a merry-go-round.
Because of the park's renovation, the attraction was closed until May 2009 for new canopies. There were plans for a new color scheme that would've fit with the Victorian Boardwalk style retheming of the area, but the renovations were canceled to save money for other updates.
