Here we go, Karter writing about another Disneyland article. I know I have said this plenty of times before but I think Disney and their theme parks are incredible. as I have pointed out there are multiple problems with Disney and their theme parks, however I'm not going to be focusing on that in this comment. I really really want to go explore other countries' Disneyland's due to the different attractions and parks. The fact that Hong Kong has a frozen land is so cool to me. The pictures shown in the article are really cool and intricate, and kind of remind me of Universal's hogsmeade. I am also really curious as to the different types of Technology occurring in other countries and how that applies in theme parks as well. Looking at the cast and crew in the photo was also really cool. I think it's incredibly important that they showed all the people who have worked on this to make it come to life. Hopefully one day I get to live out the dream of going to another country and exploring their Disney theme parks.
I am such a big Disney fan so I was drawn to this article immediately. As a kid, I remember going to Disney World in Florida with my family and it was always such a magical and fun experience. It is so cool how Disney has been able to bring joy to so many children and people everywhere and the traditions continue to be passed down. I was not the biggest fan of Frozen when I was younger, however, I loved (and still love) Disney Princesses so I know the movies and the franchise very well. I think an incredibly beautiful part of the Hong Kong Frozen Land is the amount of attention to detail that the Imagineers had when designing it. Intentionally making Arendelle as accurate to the movies as possible seems like it would really make someone feel as though they have been transported into the animated world.
Here I am, commenting on another Disney article! I really appreciate different Disney locations around the world having different attractions specific to their location! For someone like me that has been living in LA and Shanghai all my life, I’ve been to both Disneylands numerous times(including Disney California Adventure Park, which tbh, personal favorite), and if they weren’t so different, I wouldn’t keep going, as I would get bored of the attractions(not really). I am really excited about this opening, and hope that I am able to go and visit sometime in the near future with friends! The Zootopia attraction is opening at Shanghai Disneyland if anyone wants to come visit me and come with međź‘€. Although the rides were vaguely described in the article, I can’t wait to see videos and photographs of the attraction once people start going and realeasing them, and I also can’t wait to see the merch they designed!
This was a very heartwarming article for me to read. As someone who is pursuing this degree with my main interest being in entertainment engineering, it brings me so much joy to read about the success of this theme park's commitment to detail and immersion not just from their rides but to their dining and retail experiences. The Frozen franchise really shows the power of great storytelling. I commend it for its success, especially having such a successful theme park release all these years after the movie came out. It really is one of those movies that is enjoyable for so many generations. I remember when I watched it, even my parents thoroughly enjoyed the movie even though it is a "kids" movie. Disney's ability to translate their narratives into tangible and captivating theme park experiences is truly homage to their storytelling and lovable characters. I hope that this theme park will be able to create timeless connections with audiences, similar to their older original movies.
This sounds like a really cool new exhibit. I am always fascinated by the sorts of things that Disney creates, because the commitment to the them and the fully immersive experience and the different lands within the park is just truly impressive. I’ve actually never been to any Disneyworld or Disneyland or whatever, and I really don’t know much about Disney and it’s parks, but from photos and videos and what I know about the development of the theme park’s design, it is super cool. I was kind of disappointed that this article didn’t have many photos, since I really wanted to see some images of the decor of the new Frozen Land, but of the one photo the article does have, it does look gorgeous. I think it is kind of weird how there’s this entire land within the park for only two rides to exist within it, but maybe that’s normal for the different areas within a Disney park?
I absolutely love writing about Disney articles, they make me so so so happy. When I was kid, I used to watch primarily Disney shows, and let me tell you they were some of the best times of my life, Disney brings me such nostalgia. But, I did only like disney before 2015ish, because after that everything went downhill. Anyways, as a kid, Frozen was my go to movie. I was an avid
Frozen fan and collector of all Frozen related item. This park is so cool, and it is definitely going on my bucket list! The article said "Guests can visit the King Agnarr Bridge, and the village, castle, forest and bay of Arendelle," and that is so incredibly amazing. And what I love are the interactive experiences that come with this park, especially the dining experience that strives to serve nordic food. Something Karter said is that this totally reminds him of Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, AND IT DOES! I've been to the FL and CA parks, and gosh I love it there.
After reading so many articles about the creation of this magical Frozen land I am so excited to read one about the theme park actually open. It is not surprising that a Frozen attraction opened at a Disney park because, as they stated in the article, it is one of the most successful Disney franchises ever. I like how this park caters to everyone because of how integral the world of Frozen is. For the children, it is a place to see their favorite movie brought to life, whereas for the adults it is such a cute village inspired by Nordic culture. I can imagine the hit the park will be in the Winter because of how well it fits into the cute Christmas winter town aesthetic. I did not know that they created Elsa’s ice castle in addition to the castle of Arrendelle. I read about the challenge of just creating the Arendelle castle so creating a third is a big feat. I am excited to read about the public’s reactions.
I have recently leaned towards not liking Disney as a company because of the strikes, because of BoB Iger being a horrible CEO, and because the movies being put out are just not of the high quality that Disney used to have. That being said, I would love to be an Imagineer in the future so seeing new attractions at the parks does excite me because I love looking at the small details and the innovations that the Imagineers come up with. I think that Disney is way too obsessed with Frozen as a franchise because it makes them so much money, that things about it are uninteresting. It has been revealed in recent interviews that they are definitely making a third movie and maybe even a fourth, which is just a money-driven move. As a thrill seeker, roller coaster lover, and adventurer, this article does excite me overall.
I really do love Frozen! And the thought of a completely immersive land of Arendale is very exciting. I love the thought of riding on Oken’s sleigh through the North Mountain like are you kidding me? That sounds SOO cool! From the pictures that I have seen it looks SO incredibly cool and exactly like the movies. I am not a Disney adult, I have never claimed to be, and I will never claim to be. However, their execution of flawless sprawling landscapes and their attention to even the smallest details is amazing. I love immersive spaces whether theatre or amusement park and Disney does immersive experiences SO well! I would love to one day work on designing their immersive spaces because they are always jaw dropping and absolutely stunning. If I have get the opportunity to go to Hong Kong, now I have one more thing I can do there.
