Took our sons, then about 9 and 12 years old, on FEA once. My wife and I stressed before we got on it that even though it might not be their cup of tea, they were to be polite and keep any critical comments to themselves, as some people might be big fans of the IP and we wouldn’t want to ruin their experience.
Long story short, we rode in the same boat with another family with two sons about the same age as ours. And immediately after the ride their kids went into a tirade about the ride which freed up our kids to do the same and everyone had a good laugh.
So I understand if some really like it but it’s more of a princess ride than an adventure for everyone, which is a shame. In any case count my vote on the Maelstrom side and similar votes from my sons as well. Classic and thematically cohesive is still better than an IP driven advertisement IMHO.
