Question for you.... do you think that an attraction that handles 900 guests/hour is fair to put on Frozen?
No, I don't. Do you think it is fair for little ten year old girls to wait until they're twenty years old to experience a Frozen attraction at Disney?
Which one is better -- waiting for one hour or waiting for ten years?
No, Frozen is not getting credit in Norway because it takes place in a fictional land that is supplanting a real one....
Said the individual resorting to gifs and pictures, whether related to the topic or not. Ironic....
And you still haven't denied anything....
There are no gifs, but the pictures serve as a visual aid in effectively countering the argument that Frozen does not fit or somehow does not reflect the culture of Norway.
Ironic (or just sad) that you feel this way about FP+, yet the Norway pavilion's identity crisis is excusable because of "tourism" boosting.
How does a movie being popular equate to, "its in desperate need of a dedicated space in the parks"?
So your saying that they have timed this whole thing out well? Or that doing it the "fastest way" is proper? I also think your confusing "Fastest" with "cheapest".
You, like so many others before you, make the misconception that people "complain" about this because its "Frozen" or that because Maelstrom is being replaced. You could not be more wrong. Creating a larger dissociative disorder with Epcot is the problem. Doesnt matter if the ride itself is great or its a hot mess, its forcing a square peg into a circular hole. You allow your excitement to blind you because the company has done so little for so long that now even a step in the wrong direction is defended and excused by so many either because they lack the vision to see a few steps ahead or because they are so afraid to face the idea that Disney really just doesnt care about them or their love for Frozen, they just threw you a cheap bone.
Sorry, you misread. I totally *love* FP+!
@AEfx and I were discussing FP+ *only*. You know, you may want to try this little thing called 'reading' -- it could save us so much time on the fundamentals.
Frozen desperately needs a dedicated space in the parks because people were waiting in line upwards of seven hours just to meet the characters -- not only because the movie was popular.
Fast and cheap are not mutually exclusive so, I don't really get your comment. Haven't you heard of the Iron Triangle? It goes like this.

Now, the Frozen ride presents an interesting conundrum, in that all of the infrastructure is already in place, it's just an elaborate overlay, that includes the expansion of the neighboring plot of land.
Disney is still investing upwards of $80 - $100 million dollars for this expansion. In contrast, Cedar Point just unveiled their brand new floorless coaster called Rougarou and that cost only $12 million dollars. So, this is not a *cheap* expansion by any stretch of the imagination, Disney could build 10 Rougarou coasters for the price of this overlay. If we remove the existing infrastructure it would cost twice that or more.
I think the Frozen ride and expansion falls under quick and of high quality but costly.
"Creating a larger dissociative disorder with Epcot is the problem."
^^^ All I can is wow to the above comment -- it raises so many red flags and is by far one of the most bizarre comments I have ever read.
I seriously don't know of any credible mental health professional, or anyone with expertise in this particular field of practice that would feel confident in throwing out random diagnoses of mental illness to label strangers on the internet, in hopes of illustrating a point about an amusement park ride.
And, sadly I have seen this kind of thing done here before. It's incredibly spiteful, if anything it hurts your credibility and highlights your inability to convey a simple opinion about an amusement park ride without resorting to desperate ad hom fallacy type attacks. You have just demonstrated to everyone, how low you are willing to stoop, in order to prove a point that is purely subjective anyway, so take a good look in the mirror.
Just relax, and think carefully about exercising caution when writing your responses. Civil discourse should be fun and engaging -- we don't have to be mean to each other. Seriously, such measures should only be applied when dealing with
@wm49rs.
Not sure what you mean by "connecting the open space"? The M&G will fill in the space between Mexico and Norway, but it will not change the configuration of, or access to, the Norway pavilion in any way.
Thank you for answering my question. I was kind of hoping that the both spaces would be connected to where I can just walk right across, if that makes sense.
Frozen is not getting the attraction it deserves, primarily from management.
It's funny how only apologists deny this.
I acknowledge that Frozen deserves more. However, if you look at this objectively -- the only other alternative, is to wait for several years after Star Wars is completed, so this isn't quite so bad. Maelstrom needed an update anyway.
