Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom?

[Cesar R M]

And if you're going to build something from scratch, do something new. A robotics pavilion with various Disney robots teaching guests about the history of the field and new breakthroughs, from the Mars Rover to nanotechnology.

Agree, they could also secure sponsors by letting certain groups show their tech.
like SpaceX (including a vendor area so you can book your trip there lol)
Mars Rovers, bioengineering..etc..

the mine train looks just what they promised and that pleases me

maybe a bit shorter, but with better animatronics

Guys, for the sake of discussion let's say an owl came by and told me that Norway will remain as-is and that the Frozen ride is just going to be Fiesta Tour'd into Norway.

Also, for the sake of discussion, let's say the same owl has also advised that I have real, honest to god, IMAGINEERS reading my posts! I am so flattered that I am receiving so much attention! I feel like these honours are mainly reserved for @WDW1974!

That sounds like good news kind of, partially, but if someone stole my car, I'd not be mollified if the thief generously offered to replace it with a tricycle. So I'm not sure what to say to this...

Should we be glad that only half of a really bad idea, based on knee-jerk responses to a cultural fad of uncertain consequence and life-span, pertaining to an overrated film of limited quality, filled with innumerable plot holes and sorry character design is being implemented? Ought we celebrate the fact that a vestige of Epcot Center's waning heritage and original character will soon been overrun by a mob in cheap Honey Boo Boo make-up and taffeta, crowding a queue which cannot hope to accommodate the swarming masses that will instinctively consume Disney's most recent stingy attempt to exploit their sentiments and wallets?

This whole concept is offensive in its irony, as the Mine Train took four years to build and Avatar has barely broken ground while the intellectual property on which it is based fades into irrelevance, and as the purchase of Marvel and Star Wars franchises, despite so much promise, whither on the vine and contribute nothing whatsoever to their theme park properties, since Disney is going to hurry into, no, not finishing what it has started or seeing its various blue sky visions realized, but rather sloppily applying a thin veneer of White-out to one of the few enduring World Showcase concepts in order to milk a few more dollars out of the cinematic equivalent of the Cabbage Patch Doll.

This whole thing stinks like Stitch.

Certain members that Epcot is getting nothing new for the forseeable future. Now Epcot is rumored to get new attractions in 2015 and 2016, and people complain they don't fit the theme of Epcot from 1982.

Go figure.

Can someone bring out that map pointing out all the places they can add new attractions to WS without just swapping out show scenes on an existing attraction?

Making Maelstrom into Frozen doesn't really solve the main issues Epcot has. We still get the same amount of attractions at the end of the day, despite there being an abandoned building in FW, open spaces to put in a new attraction without replacing one of the existing ones in WS, and several other WS pavilions in need of an attraction more than Norway.

If think that it's unreasonable to be upset by the rumor when we now know that it is just a rumor. Perhaps when wdw1974 returns, he will have something substantial to share that we can either be happy or mad about.

And why would wdw1974 be any more believable? Rumors are rumors. Until we see a press release or other official documentation it will remain a rumor. The personal attacks here are ridiculous. It is a DISCUSSION forum not an elementary school yard.

 

[dadddio]

But it is still hilarious how a simple Leak (of a probable horrible course of action by WDW management) as caused you all these things you mentioned, like somehow @pheneix is stealing YOUR spotlight and YOU ENVY said spotlight.. hence your attempts to reclaim the attention by your ridiculous and constant posts.

You might note that there apparently was no such 'simple leak'. There was aapparently just a false rumor presented as fact.

You might note that the bulk of the personal attacks are from people stoickly defending the rumor and the person who presented it as fact, not from the people who correctly doubted that rumor's accuracy.

There is 3 fellas in here that have the look and feel of an echo chamber. Lot's of fast scrolling past his their posts, might be time to ignore him, I mean, them.

Guyssssss. This thread. It burns.

I posted a couple of articles thinking they would be interesting regarding Norway, tourism, and Frozen, yet they got buried by some strange personal vendetta. Can we use this thread for what it's meant for? People actually want to have constructive conversation about these rumors.

Because I know where his information comes from.
Sure, anything without official confirmation is technically a "rumor". But if the information originates from places where the odds of it being correct are 99%....that's good enough for me.

I think @NormC was asking a bit of a rhetorical question. If @pheneix, a known member of the community, is a liar for not posting "proof" then so too are yourself, @WDW1974, @marni1971, @tirian et al.

 

[Captain Chaos]

More nonsense from the "twins" who lack oxygen to the brain.. Still nothing done to stop them.

Anyway, @pheneix says Maelstrom gets the Grand Fiesta Tour treatment. So, that means forcing the characters of Frozen into an attraction just to say "hey we have frozen here now!!!" What a joke if true. So, I suspect the polar bear will be replaced, the trolls will be made to look like the ones from the movie, and Anna and Else get lost in Norway cause THEY AREN'T FROM NORWAY!!!

Suckfest written all over it...

 

[dadddio]

Anna and Else get lost in Norway cause THEY AREN'T FROM NORWAY!!!

Posting that over and over again doesn't make it true.

Or facts presented as false rumors....

 

[dupac]

What if it gets the "VisitNorway.com" treatment? I know I don't like the idea of a Frozen story ride plopped in Norway, but I don't know how I feel about A&E acting as tour guides...

I actually did read those articles and I think folks are taking the Snow Queen angle too seriously. Snow Queen may have been the genesis of Frozen, but the movie became something much different. The bottom line is that Norway appears to be very happy that Frozen is associated with their country and their culture. If they are okay with it, why should we be blasting Disney for that?

Norway will be happy as long as Disney keeps selling tours and cruises to their land.

Oh, well sure....we make all that stuff up at our bi-annual rumor concoction conferences.

Not really a false rumor...
There is truth there. It's just a matter of details.

What part isn't true? Is Norway mentioned in the film? Are the sisters presented as being Norwegian?

I haven't seen the film, but from what I gather they are from some sort of fictional kingdom created from an amalgam of Scandinavian cultures that includes Norway.

To resume.. something IS happening.
and IT INVOLVES NORWAY and FROZEN.. but the scope-range of the whole process is still "under consideration".

correct?

false rumor according to who? only you and the other guy who have no story, no credibility vs a group of persons who have sources and proven leaks turned true (or mostly true)?

I actually wonder if you two are actually DISNEY PR executives or paid PR Disney employees....doing their best to crowd control and PR dissonance to prevent this rumor about Frozen being slapped into Norway from spreading and thus not cause an uproar until the change as been fully completed..
thus Disney will be all " Well, too late now guys! get over it! you should have complained earlier!"

Sort of reminds me of the Bogon Vogon bureaucracy about destroying planet earth. "No sense, we had our complain department available to humans, which was installed in the Vogon galaxy billions of lights away and noone complained"

 

[TinkerBell9988]

His posts are just proof that 74 is right... There is a mental disorder in the Disney fan community... Just put that dolt on ignore.

Hey! I got a straight jacket someone can borrow...
