While the carpets might be just like the Dumbos, I do not expect "dueling carpets" anytime soon.
While the ride is very similar to Dumbos' flying elephants ride, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a welcoming theme that features a spitting camel. The ride is themed beautifully, just like Disney does everything else. For any big fan of Aladdin, the magic carpet are something to ride just to say you did.
