BREAKING: New Frozen Ride Will Retell Story from the Movie, Feature Conflict with Hans

We are just 100 days away from Fantasy Springs opening at Tokyo DisneySea, so the Oriental Land Company has taken this opportunity to release new details about this eighth themed port for what is considered the best Disney theme park on Earth. In this post, we’ll chronicle exciting new updates on the Frozen Kingdom, mainly the Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey ride.

Frozen Kingdom in Fantasy Springs

Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey is an attraction that will be found nowhere else in the world, completely different from Frozen Ever After at EPCOT, Hong Kong Disneyland, or even the upcoming version at Walt Disney Studios Paris. In today’s release, OLC confirmed this and also shared that is is a retelling of the movie’s story with all new scenes, characters, and audio-animatronics:

In the Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey attraction, guests set out on a voyage by boat that leads them through the events of Frozen. Through this voyage, guests will enjoy an adventurous and heartwarming tale of two sisters with themes of true love. Grand Pabbie, the leader of the trolls, first draws guests into the world of the film as he tells the tale of Anna and Elsa to two young trolls, bringing the sisters’ childhood memories back to life with an iridescent light through his magic. Guests then embark on a journey through the sisters’ memories, accompanied by well-known songs from the film, including “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” “For the First Time in Forever” and “Love Is an Open Door,” the duet sung by Anna and Hans at the top of the clock tower. Guests will also be able to enjoy the fan-favorite “Let It Go,” sung by Elsa as she climbs North Mountain, where she creates an ice palace with her powers. The climax of the attraction depicts Anna turning to ice in an attempt to save Elsa from Hans. In Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey, guests can look forward to seeing how the events of the story play out, while delighting in a tale of adventure and true love.

A single piece of concept art of the interior of the attraction was released, showing the scene where Anna sings “For The First Time in Forever” inside the palace.
