DISNEYLAND'S $60B EXPANSION MEANS PARKS IN HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI ARE ONLY GETTING BIGGER

Hong Kong Disneyland opened its first Frozen-themed attraction this week, with thousands of eager visitors turning up to experience the new rides, some lining up for hours to get an early start.

Based on Disney’s wildly popular Frozen animation film, the new section of the park features landscapes and characters from the movie and two new rides, a roller coaster and a boat ride that takes visitors through different scenes featured in the film.

“Over the past decade, the film has grown into one of the most successful franchises in Disney history,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences. “World of Frozen represents Hong Kong Disneyland’s largest and boldest expansion since the park opened in 2005.”
