Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey - Full Ride POV - Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea

[@WDWNT]

What's your favorite part of the new Frozen ride?

[@libertysdaddy1514]

They need to add the cloud effect to the inside of this building like that’s on pirates too hide the show building ceilings… that would be icing on the cake.

[@gabrieldally6044]

Can't wait for your reviews!

[@Cowboy_Bunny]

The special effects used that don’t involve projection

[@crisjapopcris1564]

The experience for Japanese speakers is so complete and emotional, keeping Kanda Sayaka's original Anna's singing and dubbing voice is amazing. The timing with the lyrics and animatronics' movements is perfect, zettai subarashii desu yo!

[@icharmed]

The part with Anna defrosting and Elsa shooting her ice at Anna and Hans are incredible! The ride looks so beautiful!!!

[@kevinlee7678]

Indeed! If only it had the dress change...

[@sock501]

@@kevinlee7678 the dress change is cool but this version of the ride tells the story in a far more emotional and emotionally complete way than Epcot’s. Epcot’s is a sparknotes version of the high points of the movie. Also projected faces. ‘Nuff said.

[@dawfurby]

It’s all cool but easily explainable effects. That frozen Anna is done with a wire in the cape that holds it up until the time of the defrost, where it retracts and lets it fall freely.

[@saiphaniutkarshkethana8519]

True!! Incredible effects ❤

[@theoriginaloaktree]

​@@dawfurby Who the heck cares if it is easily explainable? The effects look cool and that's all that matters

[@Flyoff1234]

I love that I don’t speak a word of Japanese but understood every single song and scene

[@octosquid48]

That's the magic of dubbing

[@spinningpeanut]

I don't really know much either, I could pick up some words here and there. Like I don't think anna said "because I love you" at the end more like "because you're my sister" is what I heard. There are differences. I don't know if there's a different word for a family love over romantic love like in spanish for japanese though.

[@NayvieNoir]

@@spinningpeanut Because people don’t really say “I love you” in Japan, especially among family members. They show their love through actions instead.

[@christinarose2483]

Same here

[@Mr21scott]

Well duh if you've seen the cartoon of course you'd understand what's going on.

[@asquared2790]

Ok I’m officially jealous this frozen ride is so much better than the one we have at Epcot or even the one in Hong Kong Disneyland

[@isaaccooper505]

100%. the queue for epcot's is nice but at least when it comes to the ride, a) its too short b)uhh idk its just not as good as this one. idk what to say its just miles off

[@-astraldove-]

@@isaaccooper505stop I used Genie Plus on that ride so I didn’t even get to see the queue. My family was pretty disappointed with that ride and wished that we used Genie Plus on Ratatouille instead (that line was excruciatingly long 😭)

[@pjwallace1006]

Another reason why I have become so disillusioned w/ WDE, and why they continue to remain on my Bad Side: Aside from skyrocketing admissions, parking, concessions, merchandise, etc., Etc., ETC…. The Parks in Japan and China continue to get better and Better and BETTER, whilst the Parks here in the [sarcastic] Good Ol’ USA continue to get… …pricier, and Pricier, and PRICIER… …not to mention lamer and Lamer and LAMER‼️⚠️‼️⚠️‼️⚠️‼️ Thank you VERY MUCH WD, but NO thank you just the same …☹️!!! My family and I will continue to see to it that Destination Resorts like Universal Studios, Knott’s/Cedar Parks, and Six Flags get OUR hard-earned $$$.

Drop at EPCOT is better though.

[@bramlyb123]

love how this keeps with the canon that Elsa really doesn't like boats coming towards her

[@Egamingproductions]

Underrated comment? Ok

[@littlemeow124]

I like how this is a retelling of the first film rather than just a bunch of songs from it jumbled together like in the florida and hong kong versions of the ride. It makes it stand out compared to the other ones and i like that

[@jardex2275]

Yeah. The issue with the sing a long rides is that there's no tension. It's just an endorphin rush of sugar coated nonsense.

[@spoonlessvalkyrie7514]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a boat ride that moves like a trackless system! They are nailing these rides and queues!

[@Danrarbc]

That’s what Pirates in China does. This is a bit simpler than that. There are switch ‘tracks’ on this that switch you from forwards to backwards flumes. Still brilliantly executed and definitely a simpler system to operate.

[@SupaYoda]

Can we appreciate for a minute how well done that queue is? I've lamented many a time that Universal does a much better job with their queues, because there's so much to see, and it feels like it's truly part of the attraction. And then you get to WDW, and you're standing out in the walkway and directly in the sun for 45 minutes or more with a few things here and there to see. THIS is what I expect from Disney when it comes to a queue.

[@awesumtoast97]

So far in disneyland the rise of resistance que has been my favorite cause theres so many easter eggs and it makes you feel like you're in another planet

[@goldenmangolps]

@@awesumtoast97I also like how they integrated seats into the queue while still being able to fit it into the atmosphere 😂 I was running on no sleep the first day I went on rise of the resistance

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Clearly you've never been to the frozen ride at epcot because it is outdoor for usually a few seconds.

[@pxlybius]

i find they've been doing better in that department with the newer rides, probably because they're being constructed with modern crowd numbers in mind so they probably know that more people are going to be waiting in line for longer compared to a ride that was built in the 50s/60s/70s

[@englishatheart]

You don't have to ask. Just say "Let's appreciate this."

[@lateramae]

Holy cow, this ride looks so freaking cool! The animatronics move gracefully, the sets are so detailed, and the technology is incredible! The parts where Anna defrosts and Arendelle defrosts had me shook!

[@strayiggytv]

I have absolutely no idea why I thought this would just have the songs in English lol. The Japanese singers did such a great job dubbing! And the animatronic look so smooth. Really impressive!

[@alvis-rd2ht]

Fantasy springs raised the bar for theme park lands by a mile wow

[@fifthrider]

Each one of those switch-track turnarounds were perfect. Not just a scene that passed the time while you transfer but it actually enhanced the scene by moving angles while scenes rotated. There wasn't one dud, not one slow moment. This is one of those "I wish Walt could have ridden it" type rides.

[@OnlyLonelyHamster]

I live in Japan so I’ve been to Tokyo Disney Sea and Tokyo Disney Land quite a few times. I’m just here to say that Disney in California pales in comparison to the quality of the rides, food, merchandise, and overall experience of the Disney attractions in Tokyo. If you’re in Japan, try to stop by if you can!

[@awesumtoast97]

I think the Hong Kong one is the best one. Especially since it has marshmallow, the drops are bigger, and the drops sync with the movement. The only thing they don't have is the do you wanna build a snowman door scene which was cute.

[@Xtus-]

[@alvis-rd2ht]

Tokyo puts every disney park to shame

[@Boomeroni]

This is visually stunning! The only complaint I have is the pacing. After let it go, they rush straight to the climax. Like, I feel like not having the “Hans is a bad guy” plot twist shown is a tad weird. Earlier in the ride we see Anna and Hans singing together, and then at the end he’s trying to kill Elsa. If you’ve seen the movie you’d know why, but I feel like that would be super confusing for those who haven’t. I feel like I have this complaint often for “movie retelling” attractions. Ariel’s Undersea Adventure/Under the Sea Journey of the Little Mermaid does the same thing by jumping from Kiss the Girl to Ursula’s death. And I totally understand that you can only put so much in a ride, but I feel like these “movie retellings” often leave out pretty important plot points. Overall though, this ride is FANTASTIC and the effects are brilliant

[@danamarvelstar]

Its funny. Hearing those iconic songs in another language brings tears to my eyes. Its like I'm hearing them for the first time.🥲

[@leggidicomputer991]

Totally better than the version at Hong Kong Disneyland and Epcot (the Disneyland Paris version gonna be like the last two). On this version, they explain the story of the first movie and the effect are amazing (especially the ice statue of anna). Tokyo Disneyland is another world, for me is the best resort after Disney World (in terms of beauty and Disney World is bigger than Tokyo Disneyland, the last one is the best for me). Can't wait for go on Tokyo one day just for see it.
