>>Disneyland has its share of classic rides, but there aren’t too many attractions like King Arthur Carrousel that date back before the 1955 opening of the Anaheim theme park.
Disneyland’s maintenance crew has just started a monthslong refurbishment project that will replace the carousel’s steel canopy and freshen up the hand-carved horses on the vintage merry-go-round that was built in 1922 and moved to Disneyland for opening day.
“It’s part of our heritage,” said Jim Slagle, Disneyland’s director of facilities management. “You’re touching a part of the company’s history. It is a sense of pride for us. It’s jobs like this that really bring that out.”
Work began last week on King Arthur Carrousel and is expected to continue until May.<<
