You mentioned ignorant or disingenuous earlier...Its still just a building with 3D screens... you even said so yourself, just now

Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

You know what's funny?
I have never been on this attraction so only know it from what people have told me and photos I have seen. It is awesome that they got it done in 11 months. But the project seemed to be a lot of "installation of this" and "installation of that". Seems that actually having to design and build anything onsite was limited to the warehouse itself. Not much creativity with the actual set itself in my opinion, which could have helped in getting it done quickly.
That being said...it doesn't mean that the 11 month time frame isn't impressive or that the ride isn't a good/great attraction. Anyways...my 2 cents...
@Disneyhead'71 pointed out how it was built so quickly above. Not bad for an E Ticket that wasn't meant to be built in Orlando until literally days before work began.
But not to derail the thread even more, back to the mistake going into a park where it doesn't belong....

You forgot to mention it is a 7 story tall building with 2.5 stories sunk into the swamp (maintenance bays are in the basement). Poured concrete floors on all levels. And it is not a clone of the 2 previous iterations.

But my point of bringing up Transformers isn't to point out the complexities of the projects, but to point out that Universal made it happen. 24/7 construction is expensive. Universal ponied up the bucks to make it so.
Disney, obviously doesn't have the desire.

When will that be starting btw? I'd love to follow the construction when it finally starts.

There is no question that the timeline for Transformers construction was impressively fast and Frozen is very slow in comparison. Unfortunately I see Transformers as a completely unnecessary addition in a park that already has so many screen based 3D attractions. I rode it once and will skip it for Spider-Man on future trips. Looking forward to Kong though - that one is also going up in impressive time.

Just a fyi that on the front page this should be showing a photo of the sommerhus construction, not the main pavilion, it could be a bit misleading/confusing.

No! Because the extension is not Arendelle. Its Norway. The inside is frozen yes, but not the exterior. So no castle
and thank goodness for that. at least.

Do we know if this meet and greet will be more along the lines of ETWB or Cinderella/Rapunzel M&G

Yeah! I'd cry my eyes out if they did not make it Norwegian. But i think they are doing a very good job
The pavilion is still Norway! I can't wait for the grass to come up on the roofs More like Cinderella/Rapunzel

Agreed!, I think it's going to look very nice. It could have gone a whole different direction, some wanted it to.
The article title is 'Frozen Ever After and Royal Sommerhus meet and greet construction' - and the photo is the show building for 'Frozen Ever After'.Just a fyi that on the front page this should be showing a photo of the sommerhus construction, not the main pavilion, it could be a bit misleading/confusing.

Transformers is most definitely a clone. So much so that issues/errors with the design were repeated in Orlando's construction instead of being fixed. It's not a good comparison because it was the second time the attraction was cloned.

Hu, you know this.. because?You're wrong.. its not going to be an exact retelling of the movie. So yes.. they need those

you have to get in to experience it.
Technically, its just an improved spiderman ride.
I think the buildings are in the same layout spiderman (the movements and phasing are so similar. For example, the goblin throws a fire bomb at you in one scene, and shows special effects in a real prop next to you... in the transformers case.. it was Megatron who fires a rocket) )
