Just curious- who plans to ride Frozen when it opens?

[jensenrick]

and what scenes/elements/details do you hope to see?

 

[Sage of Time]

I'll ride it once and then probably never again. As a quasi-local, I'll feel compelled to see what they did in the space, but I probably really won't want to revisit the place where Disney decided to ignore theming, world culture, and EPCOT's integrity.

 

[skimbob]

I will ride it at least once. Hopefully they do a stellar job because I loved Maelstrom.

 

[Jahona]

I'll ride it once and pass judgment on if it is worth a second time or if I just go back and watch maelstrom videos remembering what was.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

All I would want to see is what the Tribute for Malestrom will be on the ride..

 

[copcarguyp71]

If I pay the big bucks to get through the gate then you can be darned sure I will ride it if only to be a curmudgeon about the whole thing.

 

[G00fyDad]

Nope. Couldn't stand Maelstrom and I cannot see this ride being any better.

 

[ShoalFox]

Once, and then hopefully return to bickering about how Disney betrayed Epcot.

 

[R W B]

I'll ride it once and then treat it just like Maelstrom. If the wait is decently short I'll ride it again, if not I'll skip it.

 

[Tom]

Unless something is going to give me motion sickness, I try it. I'll definitely ride whatever replaces Maelstrom. Maybe repeatedly. It might be an incredible ride, for all we know. I hold no ill will against it.

I'm confused... EPCOT was built without its integrity. It was never the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" that was originally envisioned, why would anyone care that it's deviated more from its initial drastic deviation?

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

I'm not riding it,

 

[Tom]

I'm not riding it,

Good. One fewer person in line in front of me.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

Good. One fewer person in line in front of me.

I'm hoping it take the wait off of some of the other rides

 

[ImagineerDude]

Good. One fewer person in line in front of me.

My response to anyone who says they hate Disney

I'll ride it, and I liked Frozen so I'll probably ride it more than once. Maelstrom was never the highlight of my visit to Epcot anyway. And even if it was I'm not going to complain about Disney building a brand NEW experience.

My thinking is that world showcase is about REAL places and not make believe fluff. There are plenty of other places for that in the four parks but WS seems like the least sensible place to introduce fantasy...just my two cents though. WS is essentially what it set out to be minus the few left out countries and the Fuji coaster. Now if you're talking about EPCOT center then I can see your point.

 

[Kosmo1986]

I have nothing against frozen, it was a cute movie and I enjoyed watching it and I think whatever they do to the ride I am sure it will be great. So I will definitely be riding it.

Because even though EPCOT was not a community like Walt originally envisioned, the park they built was still strong of purpose, and held closely to the ideals that Walt held.

EPCOT will be an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow that will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American Industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing and testing and demonstrating new materials and systems. And EPCOT will be a showcase to the world for the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise.

-Walt Disney

Take out the "community" and the rest of that held true in the park that once was. That is what is purists miss, and why haphazardly stuffing attractions into the park that do not hold the same values is not good enough.

 

[rodserling27]

Of course I'll ride it! I will go on anything new at least once at WDW. I do love Frozen, and I did like Maelstrom, so I'm curious to see what exactly will happen. I am looking forward to how the music is done and hoping that it's not a cut-and-paste job from the soundtrack. I like variations and subtle changes in the arrangements.

(That having been said, I still hold steady that Epcot is the worst place for a Frozen attraction; MK is a much more suitable option, but that argument has been done to death here. )

I didn't like the Malestorm, and I want to ride the new Frozen ride when it is opened.
