For this video series, I will show theme park rides in their original version versus re-themed / rebuilt attractions. This is a side-by-side comparison of Maelstrom (1988 - 2014) with Frozen Ever After (2016 - Present).
Frozen Ever After (under name is Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey) is a musical reversing Shoot the Chute dark ride in Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort. Part of the Norway Pavilion of the Epcot's World Showcase section, the attraction features scenes inspired by Disney's animated film Frozen as well as the 2015 animated short Frozen Fever. It opened on June 21, 2016, using the ride vehicles and track layout of the former Maelstrom attraction. A version of the attraction opened at Hong Kong Disneyland on November 20, 2023, as part of The Walt Disney Company's centennial celebration. with two more scheduled to open at Tokyo DisneySea on June 6, 2024 and Disney Adventure World in the second half of 2025.
