Triton Gardens permanently closed on August 17, 2008 to make way for the Pixie Hollow attraction in Disneyland. The pond where the Triton statue once stood became repurposed into an enchanted pond which was used to imagine guests as if they were into the size of a fairy entering Pixie Hollow. In addition to the closure of the attraction, the King Triton statue was placed in the exterior of The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure attraction at Disney California Adventure as a tribute to the attraction.
Summary[]
Triton Gardens was a minor transformation of the former Alpine Gardens area at Disneyland. Instead of featuring a picnic area unlike in the previous attraction, it instead featured a bronze statue of King Triton from the 1989 Disney animated feature film The Little Mermaid and the water became a focal point throughout the area in order to fit its Little Mermaid theme such as the water spraying out of the trident which Triton is holding as well as laminar streams. A bronze statue of Ariel was also placed resting on a waterfall fountain located in the same attraction as well and on the other side was the former Ariel's Grotto area where guests could meet Ariel in this area.
Trivia[]
During nighttime, Triton Gardens would put on underwater light shows to entertain guests just like in Alpine Gardens.
