There are two drops in this attraction, the first one sailing backwards as you watch Elsa's magic in front of you. It's very much like backing down a driveway in a car, smooth, rolling and not steep. The second is a forwards drop, nearly identical to that in pirates, but in the light… and snow… and cool air.

The drop on Frozen Ever After at EPCOT is considered a mild, "family-friendly" thrill and is generally not "bad" even for those who are sensitive to drops. The ride features two distinct "slides." The first is a small, gentle backward slide during the "Let It Go" sequence with Elsa, which is more of a gradual dip than a sudden drop. The main drop occurs toward the end of the ride in the darkness as you pass Marshmallow; this is a 28-foot drop at a 25-degree angle. While this drop is slightly steeper and longer than the one in "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which is 14 feet), it is significantly milder than the 52-foot drop on "Splash Mountain" (Tiana's Bayou Adventure) or the high-speed plunges on "Expedition Everest." Most riders find that it provides a brief, exciting "stomach-tickle" but is not intense enough to cause fear. It is also important to note that the front row is the most likely to get a few splashes of water, while those in the back rows typically remain completely dry throughout the journey.
