After nearly a full year away, the King Triton statue has made a grand return to Magic Kingdom, looking better than ever! Sporting a fresh coat of paint and free from the grime that had built up, Ariel’s father is back in his rightful spot across from Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction in Fantasyland.

We first reported on the statue’s removal back in October 2023. Now, after 338 days missing, he’s back, and he is looking better than ever! The gold accents on his crown, wrist guards, and trident are now vibrant again, while his beard gleams bright white. His once dingy gray hands are perfectly clean and freshly manicured, and the base of the statue now boasts a natural wood color, replacing the previous black.

The restoration work has brought warmth to his skin tones, giving life to the otherwise static figure. It’s clear that King Triton received a full overhaul, and we’re thrilled to see him presiding over his undersea kingdom once again.
