Credit: DisneyGuests have been anxiously waiting for the day they can step foot inside Arendelle. And, as construction continues on the highly-anticipated Frozen land at Hong Kong Disneyland, that day will be here before we know it!
Arendelle: World of Frozen
The highly-anticipated Frozen land, which was first announced in 2016, will be home to a stunning atmosphere, unique attractions, and may even allow Guests to bump into some favorite characters from the record-breaking film.
Construction has been continuing on the land at Hong Kong Disneyland for quite some time now. Thanks to YouTuber, Disney Magical Kingdom Blog, we have an up close visual on just how far this project has come since our last update. The video, which is from early April, shows additional features of the Frozen-themed land starting to take shape.
Disney Magical Kingdom Blog has pointed out that white canvases have now been added to the surrounding area of the roof’s structure (see photos above).
Additionally, the refurbishment began for the gateway area, located next to Fantasyland Train Station and the buildings’ structures are continuing to take shape!
In regard to the upcoming Frozen Ever After ride, which is set to be modeled after EPCOT’s version at Disney World, more steel frames have been added to the building — The same goes for the Arendelle-themed restaurant.
Lastly, work is also continued on the exterior of Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs (pictured above).

More On What’s To Come To Arendelle: World of Frozen
Frozen Ever After
Guests will be able to experience a ride very similar to EPCOT’s Frozen Ever After attraction. In case you aren’t familiar, Disney World describes this attraction as:
Find a seat aboard your boat and let the lapping waters take you through a frozen willow forest.
Soon, you’ll be rubbing shoulders with some “boulders”—a.k.a. Kristoff’s family from Troll Valley—before bracing for the cold.
High up in the icy blue world of the North Mountain, Queen Elsa’s enchanting ice palace awaits. Behold the wonder… and keep an eye out for Anna, Olaf and a few more Frozen friends.
This enchanting “Summer Snow Day” celebration—complete with many of your favorite Frozen tunes—is sure to melt even the coldest hearts!
Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs
The other attraction Guests are looking forward to experiencing once the land opens is the Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs roller coaster. This ride will take Guests on a journey through Arendelle after they pay a visit to Oaken’s famous store.
During the announcement of the Frozen roller coaster in August at the D23 Expo, Bob Chapek spoke on his excitement of the land, saying: “Soon Guests will be able to visit the kingdom of Arendelle with all of its sights, sounds, cuisines, and traditions.”
Arendelle: World of Frozen was first announced on November 22, 2016, when the Walt Disney Company and the Hong Kong Government announced their plans for the multi-year expansion.
