What was it?

1984–1985

The Magic Carpet ride was very similar in its experience to the ride added at the same time, 1001 Nights, which makes us wonder why two very similar rides were installed together.

This said, the Magic Carpet only survived for two seasons, and had gone from the park by opening day of the 1986 season.
