World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland – 2 teens’ verdicts on the songs, scenes, chills and thrills at the soon-to-open attraction
- The latest attraction at the Hong Kong park, based on the Disney animated blockbuster Frozen, has rides, immersive shows and plenty of attention to detail
- The Frozen Ever After boat ride has sophisticated animatronics, important moments from the film and a terrifying surprise
When I asked my brother’s offspring if they would like to join me for a preview of World of Frozen, the latest attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland scheduled to open on November 20, their answer was, unsurprisingly, an emphatic “YES!”
This being the world’s first and biggest park experience inspired by Frozen, the 2013 Disney animated blockbuster, I was looking forward to checking out Arendelle Forest and the North Mountain myself – and being the envy of many.
Our mission was to experience everything the new entertainment zone has to offer (restrooms included) and see whether it lives up to the hype.
I met up with my two nieces – 19-year-old Lilith and Leila, 15 – with nephew Elon, nine, in tow at the park entrance at 10am. The temperature was a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius (71 degrees Fahrenheit) and the sky was overcast.
As we entered Arendelle Village, a cool breeze transported us to a land of Norwegian architecture, Nordic culture and Norse mythology. At one end there is the backdrop of a snowy mountain and at the other Arendelle Castle.
