The Tangled ride is most likely going to be an intamin tow boat ride, the one Paris has been using. It works with a cable underneath the water that pulls the boats, so no height differences.
Frozen was rumoured to use the Shanghai Pirates system. But the boats look identical to the one from Hong Kong. See the two maquettes presented at D23. The blue seats are for Hong Kong. We know from Hong Kong that it is an Intamin chute ride (Maelstorm, Its a small world, Pirates). See the third picture for the delivered boats to HK. In addition Pirates has a 5 seater boat opposite of the 4 here. Based on this it seems unlikely that Frozen will use the ride system from Shanghai.

The boat shipped to Hong Kong in the picture is probably a test boat during earlier stage as they look different from the one in D23

True, but the ride system itself doesn't change anymore. In addition we have the blueprints for the Paris copy which reveals its a bigger version of Frozen Ever After (Disney itself calls the ride in Hong Kong the same see the name tag next to the D23 vehicle).

Not as far as we know. Based on the partial layout we have it looks like a bigger version of the Maelstorm layout. But the location of the lifthill and the switch + drop is identical to Frozen Ever After.

Yhea thats for sure. You can also see on the name tag next to the D23 maquettes that Disney calls the Hong Kong version "Frozen Ever After" while Tokyo says "Frozen attraction". Showbuilding size also doesn't match at all.

According to permits from 2 different construction agencies on site
Fantasy springs Hotel construction end date is scheduled for May 31, 2023.
Fantasy springs area construction end date is scheduled for September 30, 2023.
Of course construction end doesn't mean its going to open that time but more likely it would take weeks til it officially opens.
Since it needs approval from WDI before officially opening the areas.

Dang. Looks like 2023 is off the table for me then.
As much as I'm itching to go back (and go during an anniversary celebration), they've been talking about this DisneySea expansion in some form or other for so long that I feel like it may as well be open when I finally return.

According from the press release of the shareholders meeting, They said the reason of the delay is due to pandemic and supply chain issues from other countries for now they can't share a specific date until the final inspection has been approved by the higher ups.

I originally was supposed to return to Tokyo in 2020, but the pandemic axed that trip in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Now I’m not returning until summer 2024 to ensure Fantasy Springs is 100% open. When you can only get to Japan so often, you might as well go after they open their enormous expansion, even if it’s a small portion of the whole trip.

I get that there are things that have happened that are beyond their control, but it's been very frustrating to watch this project continue to get pushed back again and again.
This was originally supposed to be done in, like, 2017 (albeit a different version of the land).
It's just exasperating.

hopefully Shanghai opens up... I love the free visa option they have/had* not sure.. Fly in Shanghai then fly to HK before flying/leaving Tokyo for the free transit visa. Hopefully some new things will be open at all three resorts.
