You mean the one that was built on land that used to be 20,000 leagues before it closed nearly 20 years ago and the removal of another ride for a M&G? -2+2=0 according to my math. It is pretty though I'll give it that.

Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom?

No, in fact there was an actual expansion of the park. 7DMT currently rests in the area of the former 20K lagoon.
The entire NFL is within the original park attraction boundary. So it wasn't an expansion. Unlike say Tomorrowland 74-5. Infact, the park has been expanded numerous times since 1971. NFL wasn't one of these occasions. It has a new pathway to relieve some congestion in Fantasyland but the boundary pushed nothing outwards.

I remember seeing satellite of the utilidor entrance before the NFL construction began, and the FL boundary didn't extend past the utilidor entrance.

did you use common core math to come up with that?

Facts... pesky things facts are. Destroys arguments especially when the argument was weak and pathetic to begin with.
Indeed. And still doesn't.
It extends as far as it used to when the 20k dry dock and designated maintainence storage was in place.
In lieu of me pulling blueprints out, the north wall of the Mermaid show building is identical to the north wall of the 20k show building. And both ran due west.
Put another way, Magic Kingdom Drive is still where it was in 1971.

So the boundaries of NFL extend past the former FL boundaries, as previous areas were not accessible to guests.
Moot point. You could float through the area you can now walk on.
Neither before nor after NFL could you reach the boundary as a guest.

I understand. The only reason I brought it up was to combat the idea of another expansion in MK, this time solely dedicated to Frozen.

Pretty similar to another new area that has just opened. Except there we got two new rides from a space that used to just be one and an amazingly themed environment to walk around.

I meant guest boundaries.

No, no, I would be against another expansion for a single film released not even a year ago. And DHS is the most ridiculous placement option for a permanent Frozen attraction because IMO Frozen has nothing to do with the Hollywood that never was. (Nor does TSMM, but lets not go there...)

It has nothing to do with the real country of Norway either except for some artistic design choices. We have officially come full circle now

Seems like this conversation is happening a few hours late, these normally happen on Satuday nights
Why, because it has nothing to do with the movies?
In all fairness, DHS lost its cohesive theme years ago. With another makeover on the horizon and an empty Pixar Place looking for another anchor it'd be a better fit than the culturally led (in theory) World Showcase. Plus DHS is crying out for capacity and draw.
Better yet stick it in Fantasyland. It'll match the other attractions and would be perfectly placed for its intended demographic. There's a large tent and some ancillary space that a cute D Ticket dark ride could fit into. They designed and built Pirates and Caribbean Plaza in 20 months back in the day. A simple Omni to please the kids and satisfy the Frozen movement could be done in a year if they wanted to (and be quicker than the protracted Norway proposal).
Personally I don't see what the fuss is about with the film but guests say otherwise. Give it at least something fitting and of such scale to match the mania. The suits think it needs more presence but at least they could do it properly. Thus ends my armchair imagineering since it's just MHO.
