Disney sets opening date for Frozen themed land

Starting in November, the new theme parkland, based on the Oscar-winning animated film, will allow parkgoers to explore Arendelle, the fairytale home of Elsa and Anna.

The country will make Hong Kong Disneyland the castle-richest of them all Disney Park. In addition to the heart of the park, the Castle of Magical Dreams, the new park area will include both Elsa’s Ice Palace and Arendelle Castle. The town square and forest area shown in the film are also part of the attraction.

There are two rides for guests to choose from. It starts with a revamped Frozen Ever After ride. While a version of this is offered at Epcot in Orlando, the Hong Kong Disneyland The version will feature state-of-the-art animatronics. World of Frozen will also introduce Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs, a family-friendly roller coaster.

Of course, visitors can also meet the princesses. And since it’s Disney, it’s sure to have a souvenir shop or three in addition to restaurants.

Disney first announced plans for a Frozen-themed land showcasing costume art and cast costumes at its D23 Expo last September.

Hong Kong will get the first World of Frozen, but it won’t be the exclusive home of this themed area. Tokyo DisneySea will open its own next spring. And Disneyland Paris will launch its World of Frozen in 2025.

There are currently no announced plans to bring the themed area to any of the US parks.

Theme areas are a big draw for new customers at Disney parks. The launch of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Orlando and Los Angeles was a huge hit with fans and immersed parkgoers in the world of the film. World of Frozen will largely do the same thing but appeal to a different audience.
