HAT DANCE
Originally called The Happy Sombrero when it opened in 1969 as one of the first Fiesta
Village attractions, Hat Dance has twirled thousands of guests since then.

Original ride designer, Bud Hurlbut, was inspired by Mexican sombreros, creating
bright and colorful ride vehicles to provide a dizzying but thrilling experience.

The perfect attraction for families and thrill-seekers looking for fun and excitement.
So, slide in and spin your cuenco as fast as you can under the brightly colored
sombreros.

Height Requirement: 42 inches or 36 inches and accompanied by a supervising

companion
