The World of Frozen in Hong Kong Disneyland is opening in just a few short days!
This fully immersive new land boasts two distinct areas, authentic Norwegian food, and fun interactions with the characters from Frozen. There are also two new rides: Frozen Ever After and Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs. You’re probably familiar with Frozen Ever After if you’ve ever been to EPCOT, but Wandering Oaken’s is an all-new Disney ride and we got to ride it! Let’s check it out!
Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs is a family-friendly rollercoaster located in the Arendelle Forest. The idea is that you’re visiting Oaken’s shop to do a bit of shopping and there’s a big summer blowout (of course)!
You get to see things like Oaken’s desk (which he seems to have left unattended).
Then you learn he’s not able to help you shop because he’s busy hanging out in the sauna keeping warm!
You continue through the line, seeing lots of different village artifacts or things Oaken has built for Kristoff like this troll totem pole.
Then you finally make it to Olaf and Sven who are ready to take you for a ride!
You jump into your sleigh and away you go!
The ride feels very similar to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in that it’s VERY smooth. It is all outside other than where you get on and off the ride. You can also spot some ‘little’ details while you’re whipping around the curves!
While this ride is lots of fun, we do want to mention that it is a very short ride, not even lasting a full minute. We recommend riding it, but just knowing that ahead of time can help with your expectations.
It’s a very fun ride that is super cute and has lots of fun details, so we suggest catching these sleighs down the mountain!

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Hong Kong Disneyland to preview World of Frozen before the official opening date. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.

Yup, you’re right…definitely a short one! At least with Mine Train you feel like part of the story as you’re riding. This one felt a little generic to me. At least the ride part anyway. The queue area looked really cute!

What carnival did that kiddie ride come from?

It looks a lot like Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom, only a lot shorter.
