I think fifty years from now people will look back and reflect upon how lucky Norway was to get the first Frozen themed ride.

I think a dark ride could work very well. Let's say...a dark ride with water, where we board a boat and travel down a river. It starts out dark, and there's brush and plants on either side, and we see glimmers of eyes and hear crickets, bird calls and other jungle sounds, and then we turn a corner and hear the roars of lions, and suddenly we're in daylight and we see a vista where crowds of animals are surrounding Pride Rock and Rafiki's holding up Baby Simba. Then we pass into a scene where Simba is singing "I Just Can't Wait to be King", with an animal chorus (kind of like the "Under The Sea" scene in the Mermaid ride, but much better done). Then suddenly we turn into the creepy Elephant Graveyard, with sneering hyenas and Scar telling them of his plot to kill Mufasa and Simba. Then we pass into an area of mist, and see Simba standing near the dead Mufasa, and Scar telling him to "Run away, and never return...". We pass into a dark tunnel, and then come into a burst of music and light and see Timon and Pumbaa and Simba singing "Hakuna Matata". Then again we travel though a giant log (the kind that Pumbaa upended in the movie to get at the tasty bugs) and at the other end we find ourselves at the climactic battle scene between Simba and Scar, with fire and a massive lightning storm. And finally we wind up back at Pride Rock, with Simba, Nala, Pumbaa and Timon, and once again Rafiki is holding up the future King while the adoring animals below bow and cheer. The end! :D

P.S. Perhaps parts of the ride could include narration by Rafiki, a la Scuttle in the Mermaid Ride.

This should have gone in New Fantasyland INSTEAD of the Litle a Mermaid!

It's an animated Disney movie. It fits Fantasyland.

and sure I know that Fantasyland is not only princesses. For me it is also mr toad, peter pan, pinocchio, hercules, dumbo, bambi and Aladdin well half. Aladdin is adventureland for me but that's because I grew up with DLRP where Aladdin is in Adventureland

I feel like it's foolish to shove every cartoon into Fantasyland considering that Disney's animation output has diversified a lot in terms of genre since Walt died and that Fantasyland's had that whole European village/Medieval Fair/fairy tale aesthetic from the start that a lot of the animation output at the time could fit comfortably in but doesn't necessarily speak for everything since.

Not to mention the "Fantasyland is the cartoon ghetto" rule people insist on has been broken since day one with Slue Foot Sue and Pecos Bill at the Golden Horseshoe.
