HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

Looks like a Frozen themed version of SDMT has made it into the Arendelle plans:

Well, you know... there's space behind the Sommerhus...

Im curious if they are still getting a frozen ever after clone.

I'm taking the stance that at baseline there will be some reasonable differences. Even if it is the same conceit you'll have more of a Haunted Mansion/Splash Mountain type deal than a Voyage of the Little Mermaid (literal same ride building attached to a fancier queue). The ride warehouse is significantly larger for starters.

I also expect the end product will have a plussed capacity. Not that HKDL ironically needs it per say.

Ideally an extra scene or two...

Well there was a rumor by wdw1974 that they went with the pirate tech themed to frozen instead of the original plans.

I hope this is what WDSP is getting too.

There's literally no sense in cloning Maelstrom, so the HKDL Frozen boat ride will use the new Pirates boat system by default. That doesn't mean it will be on the insane scale of SDL Pirates, just using the same ride system.

I’m sorry, but that is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard.

Why? The Luigi sleigh clone sounded very uninspiring - the Luigi ride sucks

But 7DMT, with a Frozen theme?! I’d take 7DMT any day over that.

Devoting the FL expansion pad to a single franchise was a bad idea.

It has the potential of being cool, like if its sort of a Maelstrom style ride where you go through Norwegian mythology and the mountains, but knowing Disney its going to be another basic coaster with a theme of run down amusement roller coaster is discovered on the coast of Arendelle, and with how popular the movie was, the kingdom decided to refurbish it and open it for tourists. Then its opening day and Olaf doesn't meet the height requirement so he decides to ride the coaster himself, and Elsa uses her ice powers to get him back to saftey.

It could have been better

But why not design a custom sleigh for Frozen?

 

[lazyboy97o]

I find it interesting that something derived from Shanghai Disneyland would get approved.

 

[Disneylover152]

But why not design a custom sleigh for Frozen?

And then test it through a TRON style version of Arendelle?

 

[WDWTank]

What?

 

[Disneylover152]

What?

Cause you said "But why not design a custom sleigh for Frozen?", so I thought you were referencing Test Track in WDW since I was referencing The Incredicoaster.

 

[IMDREW]

Anyone know how we can find out if this coaster really is being built?

Instead of copying 7DMT, why don’t they design a new Frozen sleigh attraction. A tilting sleigh wouldn’t make sense in my opinion.

I don’t think tilting sleighs are a given. The look of the ride just seems to be very similar to SDMT, it’s not a direct clone.

 

[IMDREW]

Disneyandmore blog says it’s probably one of the options they were looking at, but that the officially released one is probably the one they went with. If it’s true I wish I hadn’t seen this concept cause it made me so excited!

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

I've been trying to get someone at WDI to confirm if this is old or new or what. No dice so far.
