The new World of Frozen area at Disneyland Paris reached maximum capacity just hours into its opening day on March 31, prompting crowd management measures. Footage showed guests rushing into the land, with one incident nearly resulting in a trampling. Officials directed visitors to other park areas via app notifications.
Disneyland Paris opened its highly anticipated World of Frozen land on March 31 as part of the reimagined Disney Adventure World, formerly Walt Disney Studios Park. The area features an Arendelle environment with a walking, talking Olaf animatronic, a Frozen-themed boat ride called Frozen Ever After, and other immersive elements. The expansion also includes the Rapunzel Tangled Spin ride, a nighttime drone spectacular, and the Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, marking one of the park's largest updates in history. Guests arrived early and surged forward, some running to enter the new land. Online videos captured the intensity, including a guest stumbling amid the crowd rush, highlighting safety concerns as one woman nearly got trampled. By around 11:20 a.m. local time, the World of Frozen hit capacity limits. Disneyland Paris sent alerts through its app, urging visitors to explore other parts of Disney Adventure World or Disneyland Park if they had park-hopper tickets. This rapid closure reflects strong demand for the Frozen-themed attractions, which have drawn global fans since the film's release. Park officials have not detailed further incidents, but the event underscores challenges in managing opening-day crowds for major expansions.
