At the end of March, Disneyland Paris unveiled its new “World of Frozen” attraction after over seven years of development. This immersive area draws inspiration from the Kingdom of Arendelle depicted in the “Frozen” films, inviting guests to explore a Norway-inspired landscape filled with attractions and settings familiar to fans of the franchise.
“World of Frozen” mirrors a similar expansion that opened earlier at Disneyland Hong Kong. Central to this new section is North Mountain, which features the Frozen Ever After boat ride, attracting long lines of eager visitors. The ride presents multiple animations from the movies and incorporates popular scenes, including Elsa’s rendition of “Let It Go,” making it a highlight for many guests.
Additionally, guests can enjoy a variety of themed dining options, such as Norwegian-inspired dishes at the Nordic Crowns Tavern and merchandise from shops styled after Hanseatic architecture. The area also hosts the “A Celebration in Arendelle” water show, which features characters from the films and showcases new storytelling elements that blend English and French.
In conjunction with this expansion, other attractions have also been launched at Disneyland Paris, including a spinning ride themed around Rapunzel. Looking ahead, preparations for a new Lion King-themed area are underway, further enhancing the park’s offerings in the coming years.
Why this story matters:
- This expansion enhances Disneyland Paris’s appeal, particularly for fans of the “Frozen” franchise.
Key takeaway:
- “World of Frozen” showcases the growing trend of immersive land expansion within theme parks, leveraging popular pop culture properties.
Opposing viewpoint:
- Some visitors may argue that the long wait times and high prices for food and merchandise could detract from the overall experience in the new land.
