Ladies and gentleman, I present to you, poor planning!

Crowds? UOR doesn’t get the crowds TDR gets. They want to keep guests contained.

So “Incredibles 2” was a better version of “Solo”, I guess?
wdwthemeparks puts it at 1200, but, for the popularity of the ride, it's still too low.

That’s insanely low capacity for an E level draw for the park.
Finally!

The press release is the most clear. Importantly ‘the four attractions and Disney hotel have been newly developed expressly for this project’.
A few additional thoughts - OLC’s fiscal years end in March. We are currently in their ‘fiscal year end March 2019’. Fiscal year 2022 means April 2021-March 2022. It’s listed as tentative and they’ve been recently horrible about sticking to their announced dates (beauty and the beast was originally penned for fiscal year 2017. I’ll just assume Spring 2023 and be happy when it is earlier.
Pooh’s Hunny Hunt sounds similar to other Pooh attractions in marketing speak. Hong Kong’s Frozen was literally described scene for scene as FEA and has a 50% larger show building and is apparently utilizing Shanghai’s boat tech... so who freaking knows these days when they describe things.
Yes this is all behind Arabian coast in the parking lot with presumably the hotel being Bayside Station. No I do not expect a freely traversable connecting gate, OLC won’t even sell Park hoppers for the first two days. How that expansion pad lives another day is amusing.
A mystical fountain into new new fantasyland as ‘port’? Er ok. At least it’s litetally three boat attractions. I’ll give is a B- thematic pass.
I also expect the Pixie Hollow attraction to be a throwaway. Will be interesting to follow what happens to Pan in TDL.
Last thought: hello Shanghai, are you there?

Didn't they just give the ride a major refurbishment two years ago? I agree it doesn't make too much sense to have both, though.

We've known this since the beginning and it's why Frozen Ever After stands as the worst attraction decision Disney has made in the last 10 years. Frozen deserves more and World Showcase deserves more.

It's a C-ticket ride with E-ticket demand.

After something like this, I'm waiting for the "hold my beer" moment to arrive. C'mon, TDO, don't let us down...

I stand by my suggestion of moving "it's a small world" to Showcase Plaza and leveling the Fantasyland building. That area can be used for a TDS level expansion of Frozen, Tangled, Peter Pan or whatever else they'd chose to do.After something like this, I'm waiting for the "hold my beer" moment to arrive.

Frozen could have easily been over at DHS. Ride, retail and dining.

Aw, come on. Are people really giving this a thematic pass? I can't believe there isn't outrage about "they are turning TDS into a MK park!"
Where is all the outrage quoting the park's dedication and chastising them for daring to develop past it? Where is the rhetoric about the ruination of the beloved parks?
Anyone who doesn't complain about this yet belly-aches constantly over this topic stateside is being noticed for future reference.

Head down to the Tokyo forum. I’m always on the little too generous side with letting these things pass. The people you’d anticipate are (rightfully) upset.

I actually have read that Frozen has finally settled out quite a bit this year. Maybe Flight of Passage has redefined reasonable, but it seems like Frozen waits are approaching reasonable?
They’ve been doing this since Walt’s day though. Pan, which is another C ticket with E ticket demand.

Didn't you get the memo? Universal and OLC can do no wrong. Disney is the Antichrist. That's just how it is here.Aw, come on. Are people really giving this a thematic pass? I can't believe there isn't outrage about "they are turning TDS into a MK park!"

You obviously haven’t seen the majority reactions to Fast & Furious.Didn't you get the memo? Universal and OLC can do no wrong. Disney is the Antichrist. That's just how it is here.
