Q. In which country would you be if you were visiting the capital city San Salvador?

A. El Salvador. It’s the smallest – but also most densely populated – country in Central America. It also has the dubious distinction of being the most violent country in the world with a murder rate in 2015 of 115 per 100,000 population.

‘Frozen’ boat ride at Epcot opens June 21

The new Frozen Ever After ride, along with a meet-and-greet site for Anna and Elsa, will open June 21 in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot, Walt Disney World Resort has announced. Fast Passes for the ride are available for booking.

The new boat ride, built on the foundation of the former Maelstrom ride and based on the animated movie “Frozen,” will take visitors from the kingdom of Arendelle to a “winter-in-summer day” celebrating the icy powers of Queen Elsa at her Ice Palace. The ride also will take guests past Troll Valley and up North Mountain.

Next door, the royal sisters will greet guests at the newly built Royal Sommerhus, representing the cabin where the girls spent their summers when their parents were alive.

Frozen Ever After is one of several new attractions opening at Disney World this summer, including a new Soarin’ story, a beefed-up Star Wars fireworks show, and nighttime attractions at Animal Kingdom.
