The [[Casey Jr. Circus Train]] is an attraction found at [[Disneyland]] and [[Disneyland Paris]].

In June 2009, Disneyland introduced a flying Dumbo to their nighttime fireworks show, in which the elephant flies around [[Sleeping Beauty Castle]] while fireworks synched to music go off.<ref>[http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/disneyland-fireworks-4572/ "Flying Dumbo to star in new Disneyland fireworks show".] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090611172235/http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/disneyland-fireworks-4572/ |date=June 11, 2009 }} ''[[Los Angeles Times]].''

===Video games===
The Ringmaster appears as one of four villains in the 1999 PC game ''[[Disney's Villains' Revenge]]''. In the game, the [[Disney Villains]] alter the happy endings from [[Jiminy Cricket]]'s book; in particular, the Ringmaster forces Dumbo to endlessly perform humiliating stunts in his circus. In the end, the Ringmaster is defeated when he is knocked unconscious by a well-aimed custard pie.

Dumbo appears in the popular [[PlayStation 2]] game ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' released in 2002 in the form of a summon that the player can call upon in battle for aid. [[Sora (Kingdom Hearts)|Sora]], the protagonist, flies on Dumbo while he splashes enemies with water from his trunk.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://na.square-enix.com/games/kingdomhearts/|title=Official Kingdom Hearts Page|access-date=October 3, 2008|archive-date=January 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120128123500/http://na.square-enix.com/games/kingdomhearts/|url-status=live}}</ref>  Dumbo reprises his role as a summon in the follow-up game ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' released in 2004 for the [[Game Boy Advance]].

Mouse, the Ringmaster, Mrs. Jumbo, and Mr. Stork appear as playable characters in the [[City-building game|world builder]] video game ''[[Disney Magic Kingdoms]]'', as part of the main storyline of the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0b7TqT0mYI |title=Update 28: Dumbo {{!}} Trailer|author=''[[Disney Magic Kingdoms]]'' ([[Gameloft]])|publisher=[[YouTube]]|date=March 20, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW0Zf1qD6q4&ab_channel=DisneyMagicKingdoms |title=Update 66: Dumbo {{!}} Event Walkthrough|author=''[[Disney Magic Kingdoms]]'' ([[Gameloft]])|publisher=[[YouTube]]|date=January 6, 2023}}</ref>

===Cancelled sequel===
In 2001, the "60th Anniversary Edition" DVD of ''Dumbo'' featured a sneak peek of the proposed sequel ''Dumbo II'', including new character designs and storyboards. Robert C. Ramirez (''[[Joseph: King of Dreams]]'') was to direct the sequel, in which Dumbo and his circus friends navigated a large city after being left behind by their traveling circus. ''Dumbo II'' also sought to explain what happened to Dumbo's father, Mr. Jumbo. Dumbo's circus friends included the chaotic twin bears Claude and Lolly, the curious zebra Dot, the older, independent hippo Godfry, and the adventurous ostrich Penny. The animals were metaphors for the different stages of childhood.<ref name="Armstrong">{{cite news|last=Armstrong|first=Josh|url=http://animatedviews.com/2013/from-snow-queen-to-pinocchio-ii-robert-reeces-animated-adventures-in-screenwriting/|title=From ''Snow Queen'' to ''Pinocchio II'': Robert Reece's animated adventures in screenwriting|website=Animated Views|date=April 22, 2013|access-date=May 4, 2013|archive-date=April 16, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416133218/http://animatedviews.com/2013/from-snow-queen-to-pinocchio-ii-robert-reeces-animated-adventures-in-screenwriting/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Dumbo II'' was supposed to be set on the day immediately following the end of the first ''Dumbo'' movie.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/jmraises/other/otherdumboII.html|title=Dumbo II|archive-url=https://archive.today/20091026045435/http://www.geocities.com/jmraises/other/otherdumboII.html|archive-date=October 26, 2009|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> [[John Lasseter]] cancelled ''Dumbo II'',<ref name="Armstrong"/> soon after being named Chief Creative Officer of [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hill|first=Jim|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2007/06/21/say-so-long-to-direct-to-video-sequels-disneytoon-studios-tunes-out-sharon-morrill.aspx|title=Say "So Long!" to direct-to-video sequels: DisneyToon Studios tunes out Sharon Morrill|website=Jim Hill Media|date=April 22, 2007|access-date=January 3, 2012|archive-date=August 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100821112636/http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2007/06/21/say-so-long-to-direct-to-video-sequels-disneytoon-studios-tunes-out-sharon-morrill.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>
