Looks so much better than the EPCOT one! You can see that there's lots more details here, whilst also making some smaller changes, such as the placement of the drop on the left instead of the right! Can't wait for it to get to Disneyland Paris!
I was about to say the same thing. I mean it’s kinda cool but pretty weird. The only other similar examples that comes to mind is how dinosaur at animal kingdom has an extremely similar layout to Indy so they just recreate it and changed the theme
This is probably the first time a reimagined ride has been cloned. Also, I noticed that this is mostly a mirror image of the one in Epcot. The last turn follows Epcot’s layout though.
They build an entire impressive Frozen land around it but the ride itself is more or less just an upgraded version of an old ride? It should have been a totally new concept like the Pirates ride in Shanghai vs Old Pirate ride.
@@svis6888 Tokyo is always the ground-breaking one with its own franchise company while Hong Kong is still struggling with its finance so it makes sense for Hong Kong to just copy directly from Epcot.
The one at Walt Disney World's Epcot and Hong Kong Disneyland has the different routes, but it sure is a fun ride for all the people who have not been to the Frozen themed area at Hong Kong Disneyland theme park.
I feel like so many of the design decisions for the EPCOT ride were necessitated by retheming the (fantastic) original ride Maelstrom, such as the backwards section and the turn-around into the drop. It is amazing that with a blank slate they kept these design decisions. Given that the ride design is largely the same between Maelstrom and Frozen Ever After, it is sort of like having to build a clone of Maelstrom 35 years later.
It's funny to think there's a Maelstrom clone so many years later. Basically a copy of Epcot's ride. The final drop looks way bigger tho! Compared to other princess rides, this one is the best.
maelstrom is not clone worthy. this generation kids don't even know what viking is. But frozen is clone worthy for generations to come. From a business stand point, this is the core value of "cloneworthiness".
I do agree. While the extra scene transition spaces make the ride longer, I feel as though it drags it out a little. I actually prefer the Epcot version that clips along. It provides me with a more action-packed experience.
I think it looks great and I love the animatronics, but I wish the walls in the hallway after the first drop (the one where Let It Go plays) were less flat, that part feels very bland.
Not looks like , it really is very tall… like much taller. I wonder why they follow the safety guidelines from epcot which they have such a bigger drop. I don’t think this ride is suitable for pregnancy nor guide dog at least…
@@ChristHoon difference is that the reason the attraction at Epcot is limited/short was supposedly due to shoehorning a retheme into the Maelstrom space. What is the excuse now?
looks a lot like the one in Epcot. Good attraction but not amazing or next level. I would have thought they would have improved on it to a greater degree. Hoping that the one that opens in Tokyo next year will bring something different
Hey, you're building this ride from scratch. Are you going to expand it since youre not restricted by an existing ride track? No, we will make it EXACTLY the same. But, we'll give the animatronics rubber faces this time.
I feel more mixed on this version, it has stuff that does really well. Then theirs stuff that Epcot's does better. My think is the boats could be spaced out a bit more to prevent scene overlap. Also feels like space was cut and not utilized as well. But its still a massive W for Hong Kong Disney! Also the ending scene is way better!
Scene overlap? This ride has much longer stretches between scenes than epcot to prevent boats behind and in front from seeing the previous or next scene. Prove your lie: give us a time code that shows "scene overlap". We will wait. Space was cut? Not even close. This ride is longer in every scene from Epcot Version. You should actually watch the Epcot version and compare side by side to see how wrong you are, then comment before looking ignorant. @@ThoosieJP
Amazing. It’s such a shame Disney didn’t invest this much creativity and money into The Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Clearly the worst Disney attraction built in the last 20-years. IF they had used the Peter Plan Flight upper track system the Little Mermaid would have been 1000% better. As it is, it’s a failed attraction.
This comment is so LMAO ridiculous. It's a solid E ticket ride. Upgraded version of the Epcot ride. And to say Little Mermaid is the worst ride built in 20 years shows you have not ridden the dreadful Millennium Falcon ride at Disneyland.
ITS FINALLY HERE (and they used the same olaf skating animatronic from Epcot lol)and elsa is already malfunctioning i saw her arm not working correctly

Can't wait for it to get to Disneyland Paris!
I bet the one at Disneyland, Paris will be the same ride from the Norway Pavillion
Its still the same story and I don't care if it's short or long it's same story so I like them both
@@maui3551at least that one will get the animatronics from this version that much is known but otherwise...
no no, its a clone of an overlay. its pretty embarrassing
Its so cool and weird how they recreated basically the original Maelstrom layout after 30 years but for Frozen.
I was about to say the same thing. I mean it’s kinda cool but pretty weird. The only other similar examples that comes to mind is how dinosaur at animal kingdom has an extremely similar layout to Indy so they just recreate it and changed the theme
I heard that the only Frozen attraction to be different is the one at Tokyo Disney Resort which will include some scenes from Frozen 02

Well accept for the drop part was the other direction
@@austinwilliams87 The drop is much more intense than the EPCOT one. Steeper and higher.
Looks amazing! Also love how the drop is at the left side here, giving you more time in the Arendelle castle scene
It's look amazing. I can't wait more too have Frozen Land in disneyland Paris. :-)
Wait… they just made a slightly longer version of the Epcot ride when you had much more space to work with. LOL!!!

Wait for Tokyo

Its so surreal that even with the choice to rebuild this ride anyway they wanted, they still said 'Nah Maelstrom was great keep the layout."

couldn't agree more, complete MISSED opportunity. I know oriental land won't make the same mistake with Fantast Springs here in Japan.
Need those non-face projection animatronics in EPCOT.
Why don't you should come visit Hong Kong Disneyland to go on the new Frozen attraction over there.
US Disney is too cheap
It's a very nice port from Epcot. Hopefully everyone enjoys it!

At least Maelstrom was finally cloned around the world.
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought there be more to it other than theming and the animontronics it’s same as floridas
But this version does not use face projections like the one at Epcot
thats why I said ainmotronics@@maui3551
Wow!!!! I cant wait to see it!!!!!
It’s like a way cooler version but with unnecessary gaps between scenes
I do agree. While the extra scene transition spaces make the ride longer, I feel as though it drags it out a little. I actually prefer the Epcot version that clips along. It provides me with a more action-packed experience.
@@stevedavis7885absolutely agree. The transitions between scenes probably help capacity, but create dead spots in the story compared to Epcot
Man, the animatronics look SO much better!
Nice
This HKDL has better Animatronics than the one at Epcot.
I think it looks great and I love the animatronics, but I wish the walls in the hallway after the first drop (the one where Let It Go plays) were less flat, that part feels very bland.

Looks defently better than the one at Epcot but I wish they added more scenes. This feels like they wasted a lot of potential
Just like The Little Mermaid dark ride copied from Disney California Adventure to Magic Kingdom, what's the difference anyway?

The improved version is coming to the Tokyo Disney Resort
I really wish they would add the non face protection animatronics to EPCOT. They look so much better!
Is this the ride for Disneyland Paris? I was at Paris this week and i think that Frozen zone will be finished in 2025. Incredible slow construction.
The ride will be the same from Epcot but in a bigger building
This ride is for Hong Kong Disneyland
I'm shocked they made the same ride as Epcot, considering the version there has a peculiar layout because of necessity.
琴日先至玩完咋喎澳洲七歲半一沖嗰陣時我就出嘅藝😱💀im scared
Grosse grosse déception je m'attendais a plus de scènes😢😢😢
So this version of the attraction is the same from Epcot Center 😂
啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Similar to the EPCOT version but mirrored
4:50 I tried the ride and yep it’s scary it’s like a rollercoaster
I’ve also tried tokyos and hks better
竟然無搵小白本身個配音？見魔法書房有，以為佢地會搵
魔法書房係少爺占
香港有兩個配音員
@@captainofhkdlfrozenofmagic681 我知，但係「本身」應該係指少爺占，即係好似無敵破壞王蒂安娜配音咁，蒂安娜本身係官恩娜配音
蒂安娜係公主與青蛙，無敵破壞王主角係gem，同埋呢個唔係已經係少爺占嚟喇咩？😂😂😂
😢
@@Hahaj6221 你係咪睇唔明個留言？我講緊「本身」嘅意思，同埋我攞蒂安娜同雲妮露做例子係因為佢哋喺無敵破壞王2轉咗配音員。
不如你聽真啲小白把聲，電影同呢個係唔同配音員嚟
Hoping and praying they bring the AAs to EPCOT when the ride gets a refurb
It’s the same to the one at Disney World!
I am so looking forward to it!!
WAY Better than EPCOT! This was awesome!
Better than Epcot, but they could have done way better with it having a unique footprint capability.
It's pity that Cantonese voice of Olaf is not the original one as the movies.
