Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride (Part 2)

[Coaster Lover]

I would just like to point out how geekily awesome it is that we all (and, yes, I include myself in this group) can get so concerned for the potential loss and then excited by the return of a waterfall... and not some huge, grand, majestic, meaningful waterfall... just a piddly little thing... that is all...

 

[Bocabear]

That is so true...lowered expectations seems to be the ongoing theme along with Declining By Degrees...

I'll say it. Cute ride. Nice mix of media. Some nice effects. Pretty eye candy.

Just wrong place.

Got an exact ride length time?

I can't say anything more until it's open to the public.

So it's a well done, well executed ride, not on the cheap, as many claimed? Just really in the wrong place?

 

[Bocabear]

well i just heard 120 million, so for sure not done on the cheap...lol

How does it compare to the little mermaid ride?

 

[JassiSidhu2000]

No way do attractions cost as much Disney say. Let's put that down to creative accounting / Hype.

Disney doesn't release how much they spend on attractions.

That would be a personal opinion. Personally I prefer Mermaid but as I said it's not a bad attractions per se. Just in the wrong place.

And as we said don't expect much more than what Maelstrom offered in length.

Any insight on capacity changes?

 

[Jordan Crocker]

Has anyone heard anything about soft openings?

Yupp, currently planned to start on 6/17, but based on the history of this project (i.e. constant delays), I wouldn't really be surprised if it got delayed a day or two.

Wow....and Expedition Everest and it's surrounding land cost 100 million...I can't even begin to imagine how it is possible...

Disney "Magic."

It is called Frozen Ever After. Frozenstrom is just the nickname people gave it as it replaced Maelstrom.

I prefer Frostrom myself. Rolls off the tongue better.

With inflation both Everest and Frozen cost the same, I may have missed it but was the meet and great part of that number?

Also Depending on whats inside I can see the differences in cost. Roller coaster tracks and cars aren't the most expensive part of everest, it was the yeti and the structure. In todays dollars Big Thunder Mountain at MK would cost about 50k

No way BTMRR only costs $50,000.

If you like Mermaid better than that pretty much puts it where I expected. True shame really. I'll probably just roll through it like I do Mermaid but obviously not as easily. Capacity and what not. My perception of this ride will be made even worse with the thought of what other parks are getting constantly at the back of my mind as well. At least the Mermaid rides on both coasts are the same except for our queue. Then we have the most important aspect: location, location, location. If it wasn't obvious before I'll probably never be able to judge it fairly, and I'm ok admitting that.

Can I ask why you don't like Mermaid? I think its a great ride, sure there could be more but I think it fits the bill nicely.

@marni1971 you're gonna need a body guard, with the way people are asking questions!

I can't answer for Marni but I know the ride, specfically Orlandos, version has a queue that seems longer then the ride. The ride is a complete carbon copy of the one in California and they didn't even bother to fix some of the effects and errors of the old one. (Visible walls, catwalks etc.) I will give them the credit that they added the black lights.

There is more but I got to get back to work so I'll have to continue later.

You have zero concept of money.
