I'm satisfied with the length, to be honest. This has great potential to be a fantastic attraction. It will be interesting to see how it probably turns out disappointing.

Ha. You beat me to it.

Go upwards from dual load. Yellow lift takes you to the top floor. First drop goes down to the intermediate floor. Second drop goes down to the ground ish floor. Third lift goes up to the big drop.

Excuse the watermark. You’d be surprised where these things end up nowerdays.

For anyone a little concerned about the length I think it is worth noting a) the size of the scenes with some multi-floor rooms and also that Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey which has got a lot of praise doesn't look that long on paper.

I think the lift hills and drops are going to be used to great effect as show scenes.

Whilst not as long as the Splash Mountains this will be an addition of a well known ride system that Paris so far hasn’t got. Will it be enough for the park? No. Will it be popular? Yep.

I think the hills and drops in the Tokyo Frozen ride are pretty laughable, since you're supposed to be indoors for one of them, IIRC. At least the Lion King ride is supposed to be outdoors and you're in a river, I guess.
