Tokyo Disney Resort Said to Be Planning a Major 'Frozen'-Themed Attraction

By Robert Niles: Nikkei Asian Review is reporting that Oriental Land Co., the company that owns and operates the Tokyo Disney Resort, will build a major Frozen-themed attraction for the resort in 2017.

The new attraction will be part of "partial renovation" of the resort and the centerpiece of a US$4.5 billion capital investment in the resort between now and 2023.

Where will the new Frozen attraction be? According to the article, that's undecided. It could take the place of the It's a Small World ride in Tokyo Disneyland, which is slated to be moved as part of the park's renovation plan, according to the report. Or, Oriental Land could choose to build Frozen at Tokyo DisneySea.

Our suggested site for Arendelle

We suggested DisneySea as an ideal location for a Frozen-themed attraction last February. The port of Arendelle fits perfectly within the harbor theme of DisneySea, and we noted that underutilized Cape Cod area of the American Waterfront land offers some sight lines that could lend themselves to an Arendelle setting.
