Frozen Ever After is one of Epcot’s most popular attractions. Many people wait over an hour to experience the ride, but what would you do if you see them malfunctioning? Watch the creepy video here.
Frozen Ever After
Who doesn’t love Frozen? It’s so popular Disney decided to replace Maelstrom, a beloved ride in the Norway Pavilion, with a Frozen-themed ride.
Hop on an ancient Nordic boat and voyage through scenes of the film as you sing along to those catchy songs. Travel up the North Mountain where Elsa is creating her palace made of ice (ice is my life) and plunge forward and backward through the wintry world of Frozen.
This ride is an absolute must-do for my girls (and for my husband who loves to belt out those tunes) on our trips. We aren’t the only ones either – this ride is so popular it can reach up to an hour or more of waiting during peak seasons.
Malfunction
One of the best parts of the ride is the end when you ride past Anna, Elsa, and Olaf. Sure, the animatronic faces are not the best. The new Frozen land in Hong Kong has most technologically advanced Frozen animatronics.
However, Guests were in for something else entirely on a recent trip through Arendelle. In a video posted within the last day, both Anna and Elsa have blacked out faces and Olaf does not have eyes.
Usually, the faces are projected onto the animatronics, but this time the screen was simply black. The bodies were still moving, which made it even more creepy.
This would surely be disappointing to wait two hours on a busy holiday weekend only to see the ride malfunctioning in this way. You can watch the video right here:

Stuff happens sometimes. I hope they repair it quickly. I remember when the father's hand fell off on the Carousel of Progress, and it seemed like it took a long time for that to be repaired. Just curious, how many people liked the Maelstrom better than the Frozen ride? I did.
