New ‘Frozen’ Themed Land Coming to Hong Kong Disneyland
For those unaware, a brand-new land inspired by the film franchise Frozen will soon be coming to Hong Kong Disneyland. First announced in 2016, this new immersive land will open to the public in the coming months with unique attractions, dining experiences, and much more.
The news arrived alongside the Walt Disney Company’s inclusion of fresh expansions in the massive $1.9 billion endeavor. Aptly named the “World of Frozen,” this emerging domain will draw inspiration from the films that captured hearts in 2013. Positioned chronologically after the initial movie yet preceding its sequel, the narrative paints a picture of tranquility and affluence gracing the realm of Arendelle.

After weeks of mounting excitement and anticipation surrounding this captivating new realm, Disney has finally unveiled additional details, shedding light on what awaits Guests within the enchanting World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland.
Disney recently shared fresh concept illustrations, providing a glimpse into the forthcoming thematic area. Furthermore, they offered additional insights into the delightful experiences awaiting Guests upon their visit to Hong Kong Disneyland in November, following the eagerly anticipated public unveiling of the new themed land.
Named the world’s inaugural roller coaster inspired by Frozen, Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs promises to treat Guests to a family-oriented adventure. Crafted under the guidance of Wandering Oaken, this exhilarating ride will have you team up with his companions Olaf and Sven, who play a crucial role in propelling the passage forward. Collaboratively, you and your newfound friends will exert effort to draw the sleds to the peak of the lift hill, conjuring an immersive and memorable experience.
