Oh disney.. If only someone liked your idea of a Frozen ride.

The 5 hour lines didn't do that already?

I think it's obvious based on how slowly comments are being posted to the blog that many are (were) like mine and not being accepted by the moderator. Implying they are not very welcoming of these changes.

Very surprised they didnt wait until 4PM. @asianway with the first observation on the timing. Friday afternoon, late in the news cycle. Trying to bury it.

Not a fan of Norway becoming essentially a Frozen pavilion, but it is something new for Epcot and will certainly bring in an audience. I would like to see what the plans are for the retrofit of the ride. If they are going to do it, I hope they do it right (as in, not just a simple overlay but with actual animatronics using the new face technology from the seven dwarfs mine train ride)---unless the idea is a simple overlay to be able to change it back soon after the Frozen hysteria goes away.

It's about time they announce it. Now everyone can complain about it officially!

This ride better be very immersive and include some innovation otherwise I will probably be let down by the replacement to Maelstrom

LOL why I don't go in Dec!

I'll take one for the team and be the guy who asks:

When is Maelstrom closing?
When is the Frozen ride expected to open?

I don't have time to look through the 288 pages of the other thread.

Oh just you wait.....

Ah, so now we have a new "It's Dave's Fault" statement.

Christmas sucked this year, it's Dave's fault.

 

[mouse_luv]

Oh just you wait.....

Oh, I know. I'm just sick of Frozen throwing up all over everything Disney World!

The fact they had to REPLACE Maelstrom to put in a Frozen ride is lazy and greedy. You've got plenty of room to do the ride somewhere else and you'd have pretty universal happiness. (Pun intended?)

So grand opening Spring 2017? Kidding kidding… or am I? Anyway, it may be Frozen and it may be in the wrong place for EPCOT but at least EPCOT is getting some sort of love. I have to say… I’m impressed Disney is actually using something popular and creating an attraction fast. Take that Universal.

Closing end of Sept. and no idea for the reopen.

There's only so much "Frozen" a person can take, I'm surprised they haven't put 2 more white balls on top of
spaceship earth to make a giant Olaf.

Wait! Maybe they are waiting to do that to announce the new ride opening!
