Is Frozen in EPCOT a water ride?

This song-filled journey is a slow-moving boat ride with backward and forward plunges down short waterfalls.



Yes, Frozen Ever After in EPCOT’s Norway pavilion is a water-based boat ride. It uses the same flume system and track as the old "Maelstrom" ride that preceded it. Guests board a 16-passenger "Viking" boat and float through various scenes from the Frozen films. A supportive peer "splash" warning: while it is mostly a gentle, "dark ride" experience, there is one moderate backward drop and one final forward drop that can result in a light splash. You won't get "soaked" like you would on a log flume like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but the people sitting in the front row or on the edges of the boat may get a few sprays of water on their clothes or face. It is generally considered "safe" for those who want to avoid getting wet, but if you are carrying expensive camera gear or wearing suede, you might want to keep your belongings tucked away just in case of a rogue splash.
