I concur. Approximately 12,000 square foot new building.

If they are just now doing SFWMD permits I would be surprised if this got done in a year.

They new building is not physically attached to existing Norway pavilion. They're maintaining the large path to backstage just north of existing Norway building. It will be between the buildings.

All that, for a M&G? First Snow White, now this. I'll say what @aladdin2007 said, why couldn't the ride go here and leave Maelstrom alone?!?!?!?!

The answer: It's all Disney cares about now.

Ok i can honestly say i didn't see that coming. I'll hold judgment until i see renderings but it is definitely a major investment on the part of disney.

It doesn't look like it. I am wondering if the existing Norway restroom will become just a men's room and the new building with have a new women's room.

OMG we are getting a restroom update. Its about time the 1980's was evicted and the restrooms were expanded. This is probably the best news out of the entire project.

Here's the real horror to this story...it's going to take out the margarita shack!

 

[dstrawn9889]

it looks like the bump out to the south brings the new pav almost into contact with the mens restroom entrance, with no FOH
walkway space between the buildings

thats closer to the mexico end, it doesnt look like its going that far over, if it did that shack can always be moved.
