In Japan "Frozen" was a huge success by different reasons from the US, beginning by the title: "Anna and The Snow Queen". They consider Anna as main character, not Elsa, and the devotion of an imouto (baby sister) to her oneesan (older sister) in the movie is highly valued in Japanese society. The other reason is unfortunatelly a tragedy. Anna's Japanese voice actress Kanda Sayaka was a very talented musicals' actress and she passed away while on national tour with "Frozen the Musical", when she was playing Anna on stage with all shows sold out in advance. This amazing ride will surely get locals emotional.
Sayaka Kanda was on a national tour as Eliza in My Fair Lady. The case remains a mystery and puzzling to this day. She was a wonderful actress who also played Cosette in Les Miserables and Elle in Cutie Blonde and is greatly regretted.
@@aotake-zx9rl thank you for correcting my info. I hope the park keeps the songs in their Japanese dubbing voices, they are perfectly matched and it's a lovely homage to the musical star Sayaka was.
the plot twist really surprised me! it was an act of true love indeed but not between lovers but sisters! i think the managed to capture the highlights of this wonderful movie brilliantly!
This and the Peter Pan ride was the best overall for Fantasy Springs. Rapunzel Lantern was good but a little to short, but still worth it especially the last scene which for me is the best of all in terms of experience.
Lots of people wanting to know how the cape works, but I'm more interested at the fountains at 2:10 work. The transition from flowing to frozen is so smooth~
i think i know how. so its like the ice spikes are facing the opposing side and the front side is projection mapped. so with the spike side litteraly rotates to your view while the projection water goes away...
It’s sad how there’s really no point in even going to the American parks anymore. It’s a waste of money. The international ones are so far ahead and you get way more for the price.
@@Sam-fb5xe agreed. Nothing like Epcot's except for the Ice Palace seen. This Tokyo version is a complete retelling of the story, while the Epcot one is so chopped up due to having to fit into an existing ride format... RIP Maelstrom.
i have seen brief snippets of when a ride is malfunctioning but this really captured the immense beauty and complexity of the ride! i am completely blown away by what's possible these days...
Overrated as I feel the first film was, this attraction absolutely blows me away with its storytelling and visual beauty. These sets and animatronics are top-notch, and even if I can't understand the language the voices are clear, the words articulate, and a joy to hear. I think the parks here could learn a thing or two from Fantasy Springs... no fan should be denied an experience this amazing just because of where they live.
Japan always amazes me I find it impressive that Disney Theme Parks were an American thing, and yet Japan had no problem taking it a step further on their own and putting 101% effort in to everything, even for something simplistic like this
This is a phenomenal video. I just wish closed caption Japanese to English translation was available. My heart is simultaneously leaping in joy and broken. The joy is for my children and their children who will experience this ride for decades to come. My heart is also broken for the realization that Disney by the Sea was a project that was originally proposed by the same advocates, investors, and team for the Port of Long Beach in California. Had the narrow political and misguided interests not failed this measure, these rides would be in English and have American enjoying them. However, there is something tremendously poetic and inspiring to hear "the past in the past.... let it go" sung in Japanese. The land of the Rising Sun brings animatronic excellence, artistic metaphor, and hope to the 21st Century. Sugoi!
Not necessarily. The reason that Tokyo gets these attractions is because the park is operated by the Oriental Land Company and they just pay Disney licensing fees. Because Disney doesn't have to foot the bill of attraction construction, and essentially forces OLC to adhere strictly to what Imagineering designs without cutting corners in order to build the attractions, they wind up with way better experiences than anything stateside. Disney is notorious for building things on the cheap in the states and most attractions that eventually open pale in comparison to how they were originally designed.
@@acabblm64but aren’t the animatronics all developed by Disney in the us? So practically everything is American designed/engineered , but paid for by the OLC? Wish they could run the European Disney aswel 🥹 but it’s in Disney’s hands.
Projects are developed by imagineers in the US but built in Japan by Japanese engineers and artists. They are shokunin in essence, Tokyo Disney is magic with omotenashi.
@@crisjapopcris1564 but aren’t the components all designed by and owned by disney? One video stated that Disney has an exclusive right to use animatronics from this company they have been working with for years. So its also build in the us and shipped to Tokyo to install?
I thought it was going to be another frozen ride or take from frozen ride, but really it didn't. I think the only thing it took from Epcot's frozen was the trolls start, an Olaf animatronic or two being in similar poses, the let it go section and that was it. Majority was all original.
So when Japan created new rides, they retail the movie story. Great choice! In America we get princess and the frog boring story about going to a party. No bad guy. No story.
The edge of the fabric has something in it that turns it upwards when frozen, and it's released or lowered when thawed. Think of Anna's animatronic skeleton having a tail to hold it up.
These on a technical level are very impressive meanwhile for the one in America they have those projection faces which just looks off and quite jarring and low quality to be frank as the Japanese ones are more high quality.
Our park in California will never look like this because Disney uses the excuse of “nostalgia” to not have to invest money into the park and update it.
Sad to see that nobody is writing that you have to pay extra for those rides. Went today with my friends, we bought our park tickets months in advance only to get told today that one needs to buy online either stand-by passes or priority passes in advance, which is nowhere written down either on the official disney tokyo site or any other trip advisor pages as well. And if you're looking to maybe get them now, be prepared to see them sold out until the official opening on the 6th of June.
There is a very emocional attachment in Japan to the Frozen features due to premature passing of musical actress Kanda Sayaka, who played Anna's voice. In Japan the animation was titled "Anna and The Snow Queen", they consider Anna as main character, not Elsa. Young Sayaka passed away while on tour with "Frozen the Musical", when she was playing Anna on stage with all shows sold out in advance. If you see locals leaving the ride with teary eyes, that's the reason.
The effects and animatronics are absolutely INCREDIBLE but something about this ride feels off. All the sets are super empty and the staging/timing of most scenes is awkward. It’s like this was meant to be a trackless ride but then they changed it to be a boat ride for some reason.
This did a great job, I think. It's basically Pirate's ride system and it's a bit faster but those big boats and big channels need a lot of room that is hard to fill. If you consider, it's telling the movie in order, and some of those pauses were just for mechanical timing. It's a bit like Pirates with it's big scenes but a bit more kinetic. I think they did a good job interpolating projections and animations, and actually figured out how to make Maelstrom's pivoting direction-changes work well, putting a scene in front of the boat while it's paused. Using the slow lift - which would normally be a dead-space in the ride - as an opportunity to fit in the entire intro to "Let it Go" was actually kind of genius. And I found it kind of hilarious that Epcot's version is basically only the _middle third_ of this.
@@hanonondricek411 The main difference between this Frozen ride and Pirates is that on Pirates each scene is full of details and everything is on a loop. None of the scenes feel empty, there is always something to look at, and it doesn't feel like they're trying to squeeze in dialogue because the dialogue never ends. With this ride you're mostly drifting by as the scene takes place and you leave the room while the characters are finishing their dialogue. You feel less like you're apart of the story and instead like you're accidentally stumbling from scene to scene. If they wanted a constantly moving ride vehicle like the boats but also wanted to tell a story they should have set up the ride like Journey of the Little Mermaid. That ride tells the story of the movie but each scene is constantly looping, works with the ride system, and is full of movement. The new Tangled ride also at Fantasy Springs actually did this and it feels WAY less awkward compared to the Frozen ride. Like I said, this attraction's effects are groundbreaking and gorgeous, but if they wanted timed scenes they should have used a different ride system like trackless ride vehicles.
Fantasy Springs is lame. Why is this part of DisneySea? How does that make sense? How does it fit the DisneySea theme? This would be my lowest priority of things to do when visiting.
@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 And Peter Pan? And Rupunzel? The area between Port Discovery and Lost River Delta is where a Scandinavian Port was supposed to be. And they could have put a Frozen attraction there. But Peter Pan and Tangled do not fit Disneysea. This is just a money grab tack on by OLC, who is totally straying from the theme of Disneysea.
@@Toast0808 This land is redefining themed entertainment and setting the bar in the industry as well. Disney made a story of why it fits into Disney sea. Although it’s far fetched this land is done so thoughtfully well it doesn’t matter to me.
Tokyo is now the greatest Disney park on Earth.
It always was!!!!
Always has been
It always was… the only bad thing is, that it also always was the fullest with the longest waiting hours …
Now? Where the actual fck have u been
It’s been that for a very long time.

Agreed I’ve always preferred going to something like Universal Studios over Disney World whenever I go to Florida.
This is how you do a Frozen ride. Wow!
1:20 exactly
just wow, Tokio is so far ahead like from the next century
Looks so much better than Epcots

Dude! Those Animatronics are sick! They look so damn good!! 😍
Wow! Animatronics have come a long way since I was a kid in the 90s
Gorgeous ride holy moly 🎉
Masterpiece!
Next level!!!
Love this ride ✨🥰
Wow that was fantastic. Thanks for the pov!
Thank you for recording this. I would never be able to watch it, cause I cannot travel to Japan. Thank you so much.
Wow Thank you for the video.
Frozen Ever After walked so Tokyo Disneysea could RUN
This looks great on the new ride from Tokyo Disneyland.
How in the world do they do that fountain? 😅
Damn, I might have to get on a flight to Japan now. This really does blow Frozen Ever After out of the water.
Strongly agreed 👍 💯 even Tiana’s bayou adventure Japan 🇯🇵 took it to the next level.
So when Japan created new rides, they retail the movie story. Great choice! In America we get princess and the frog boring story about going to a party. No bad guy. No story.
Disneyland Tokyo is the best park on earth
Tokyo Disney Sea is really stepping up.
*THEY DIDN’T COPY FROZEN EVER AFTER!!!!!!!!!*
Original is reality
I’ve never seen this before “this ride “
And we still hope for one new darkride in Disneyland Paris since 2006. 😂
アナと雪の女王は最高！42日後に行きます！
They bring this to Disneyland, you know this ride will suffer from budget cuts.
私は日本人ですが、これを見てうれしいです。 :) アンナは乗り物に乗るととてもゴージャスです、私は 6 月 11 日に乗り物に行きます。アナと雪の女王の乗り心地が明らかに最高であることはおそらく知っています。 4月26日に東京ディズニーシーに行ってきました。このテーマパークはとても楽しいのですが、残念ながら私は 5 月のどの日程にも行きませんでした。東京ディズニーシーに乗るのがとても楽しみです！ 🙂🇯🇵、日本から来た場合。きっとテーマパークが楽しめるはず！
神田沙也加さんの声のままだ(T_T)
It's marvellous they preserved the beautiful voice of late Kanda Sayaka. She was an amazing musical actress.

Disney in the states needs to step up their game. How come overseas gets the coolest attractions?
Its all about money. Tokyo Disney/Oriental Landing Co is willing to invest more money into their rides with better, more expensive animatronics, etc.
3:43 ❤❤
how the heck does the cape become a loose fabric 5:00
The edge of the fabric has something in it that turns it upwards when frozen, and it's released or lowered when thawed.
Think of Anna's animatronic skeleton having a tail to hold it up.
Are the Anna and Elsa figures animatronics? Yes right? Jesus they move so smoothly!! Tokyo is just on another level!
Frozen Ever After at Florida: A different story that’s kinda confusing
This: the whole frozen movie summarized
I wish they brought this to the American parks.
Me too
Rides that retell the movie will always lack my interest but it’s pretty regardless
still better than epcot
Okay, yeah, this kicks the American version's ass.
The parks in Orlando and California should be embarrassed watching these rides overseas. But for some reason I don’t think they really care.
I’m jealous
アナ雪ソングのクロスフェードデモみたい
Anna beautiful girl gorgeous and Elsa beautiful girl gorgeous sister older Elsa beautiful girl gorgeous girl gorgeous girl ❤
Reminds meof the under thr see adventure ride
This was based on frozen ever after
True.
Epcot needs new animatronics.
I wish I could travel to Japan, but my family doesn't like 😭
I really want to hear this in English.
Some promo videos had English.
They have some promo runs for Americans coming to this ride for PR. Someone on TikTok said they’d post a full soon 🤞
❤❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺
