Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

[aladdin2007]

I guess that's the best we could hope for at this point. I still doubt we'll see that much Norwegian influence in the ride. Frozen all the way. "The ride, which will replace Maelstrom, promises to take guests through the fictional landscape of Arendelle and right into scenes and songs from the movie." Doesn't give me much hope. Not at all.

True, but then that press release should not have been taken to heart so much either, its vague and was somewhat sloppily thrown out there in my opinion. Hopefully the Imagineering team isnt as shallow and knows what they are doing, even if Staggs doesnt so much, which doesn't surprise me. I was told the Imagineers understand the "Norwegian" need. So yeah all we can do is hope it turns out that way, till we see some concept art or something. Theres just nothing much to go on right now but I liked that picture showing whats in Cali.

Maybe you should've been more clear about that then.

No I was making a joke, not mocking anyone........and then I get people that have to be "that" guy.......so now im mocking them

Wow I love that interior wallpaper design. That would be very cool in the queue. So there has been NO info on this? No mention of concept art being released within the next few months? Nobody has any inside sources regarding the project?

it's all still very tight lipped and mum, I can't get anything out of my source that I already previously got.

All I've been told is that on one of the drops an olaf will slide down beside the boat, like it's going down a snowy hill.

I hope he says, "I'm gonna man up all over myself" as we go down the drop.

Well played, sir, well played. Book of Mormon ftw.

Wow. That is so much better done than the Frozen Fun stuff we got. Then again ours was apparently planned and done in the span of 2 weeks so............

Disney chose to plan and execute it in 2 weeks...and it shows. Why do people (not you) give them a pass because they rushed it? Were they under some Federal or State mandate to have Frozen at DHS completed in two weeks? Probly not, they just wanted something quick to cash in on and it was a way to boost numbers at HS. We didnt do the Sing Along but Oakens Trading Post was nothing special at all. Its a retail shop with a room in the back that has some blue lights, a curtain and an ice pit. Sure, Ive seen a few cheap set ups over the years at WDW, but never for the highest grossing animated movie of all time. And I doubt the Maelstrom layover will be blowing anybodys socks off either. Dont get me wrong, it will be nice, just like 7DMT (which had a much higher budget) is nice, but not great.

I love Disney, always have, always will, But the current regime is just flat out cheap, and they will continue to be as long as so many people are eager to fling themselves in front of arrows for them. The pixie dusters love Disney just as the doom and gloomers. We ALL end up loosing in the end though, whether we realize it or not.

That actually sounds like a really neat feature.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

Sort of like Mater's first appearance in Radiator Springs Racers.

 

[ravenswood]

I was thinking sort of like a projection but I hope you're right

That'd be really cool.

 

[JEANYLASER]

That's be really cool to see that happen in the frozen ride! I hope some day we see the concept art of Frozen the ride at EPCOT Norway!

This is actually going to be one of the most cutting edge animatronics on property: it will be specifically programmed to reach into your wallet and relieve you of a few $20s's.

This is not a discussion on the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor.

While this is in Cali, it would not surprise me to see this type of theme/design/coloring inside Frozen in Norway, especially the rich red tones which stems from Norwegian designs. Just throwing this out there for fun discussion.

Cali's frozen fun got real signs and much more nicer looking details than ours did. However that being said we still got a pretty fun limited event I would say, quick and a little cheap but actually a nice addition rather than subtraction.

Remember what they did with Nemo - cheap attraction update. It's what they are doing with this. Just rethemed.
