Ready for a trip to the heartof Arendelle? Frozen Ever After, the new immersive attraction dedicated to Frozen, is set to open its doors atDisneyland Paris—atDisney Adventure World, to be precise—with an opening date scheduled for March 29 in the heart of the future area dedicated to the world of Arendelle. This boat ride promises to take visitors on a family adventure alongsideElsa andAnna, with sets, music, and scenes from the film. The information was revealed at the D23 Expo, held from August 9 to 11, 2024.
What does the attraction consist of? More specifically, it is a boat ride: a water attraction featuring several scenes from Disney animated films, as well as one or more drops, similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, an attraction found at Disneyland. The two-story boat ride building has a floor area of 7,900 m² and is hidden by a 40-meter-high mountain and a perspective version of Elsa's ice castle.
Located at the entrance to the Clock Tower, Frozen Ever After will take visitors of all ages on a boat ride alongsideAnna, Elsa, and their companions. The journey, punctuated by iconic songs from the film such as "Do You Want to Build a Snowman"and "Let It Go," will allow you to meet Olaf, Sven, Kristoff, and other key characters. The journey will take visitors from the snowy forest to the Valley of the Trolls, before reaching Elsa's Ice Palace and ending in style in Arendelle Bay, illuminated by snowflake-shaped fireworks.
The attraction will feature particularly advanced technology, with next-generation Audio-Animatronics and a combination of lighting, sound, and immersive projection effects. The Walt Disney Imagineering teams are continuing to program these devices to offer a spectacular visual and emotional experience.
Our Review of Frozen Ever After at Disney Adventure World:
We had the exclusive opportunity to test this attraction over a month before its official opening, alongside a select group of media professionals... and families are sure to love it! The concept: a boat ride—a fairly classic journey involving a splash—yet, it’s entirely different from anything you’ve seen before (don't think it’s a clone of Pirates of the Caribbean, quite the opposite!).
What sets this attraction apart from others of its kind is, first and foremost, the music—constantly present and mesmerizing from start to finish (just a heads-up: all songs are in English, exclusively...). The detailed animatronics scattered throughout the scenes are another highlight—reliable, cutting-edge technology that looks incredibly lifelike—and finally, the emotional impact. We guarantee you’ll be moved—100% guaranteed! You might even shed a tear (we came close), particularly during one special scene... but we’ll leave that discovery to you.
This ride will captivate kids, immersing them in the heart of the animated film, but it’s also perfect for thrill-seeking adults... And you’ll definitely get your dose of adrenaline! The final drop (the earlier ones are smaller and will amuse younger kids, with one even going backwards) is quite intense—steep and dramatic. Younger children might find it a little overwhelming, with tears or loud screams likely. But the braver adventurers will love it! We certainly did.
The decor is perfectly on point: everywhere you look, there’s detail—on scenes with characters, on ceilings... it’s everywhere. All the latest technologies combine seamlessly—screens, animatronics, projections—in a finely tuned symphony. Everything works together flawlessly.
What more can I say? Oh yes, the story of the attraction is slightly different from the movies, since the scenes are based on the first film, with some dialogue and song lyrics altered to suggest that the story continues after the events of the two films. The purpose of “Let It Go” (you know, “Libéré, Délivré”) is different here, as Elsa is already “free”... You’ll understand when you see it. In short, it’s set to become the park’s next big hit—no doubt about it!
This attraction includes a dozen scenes and two drops... But don't panic: the ride is designed for the whole family. Young children can safely join in without being frightened. This attraction may also splash you a little. Note also the presence of latest-generationanimatronics, for an unparalleled rendering of the characters featured in the ride. Enough to amaze children even more... And on the way out, take the opportunity to stroll through Arendelle, recreated in the area, and visit the area's shop.
