(Pacific Ocean Park, 1958-67) A section of carpet from a ride vehicle on the Magic Carpet attraction at Pacific Ocean Park. Opened in 1958, the Santa Monica-based Pacific Ocean Park was planned to compete with Disneyland. The Magic Carpet ride was considered their best fantasy attraction, a true dark ride with blacklight used to illuminate fairy tale scenes, mostly themed to the Arabian Nights. The vehicles seated two rows of people in the colorful, simulated folds of a flying carpet, using a top-down track system similar to Peter Pan's Flight. This piece consists of two carpet sections sewn together. Measuring 27" x 49", the carpet is in very good condition with fraying and wear from park use and age.
