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

I liked Maelstrom, but let's be honest- it's not the super-awesome attraction that some here portray it as. There's definitely some rose-colored glasses gazing here.

Now, I really like Frozen. Any film that has me leaving the theater thinking, "Dude, that would make an AWESOME setting for a pen & paper RPG" did something right. Unless it's really, really bad, it's probably going to turn into at least a "once per visit" type attraction.

My dad was the same way with 10k leagues as people said about maelstrom.
Things come and go. Its not set in stone that Epcot can't have a fictional land based off a movie, as much as it might seem out of place, its not a written rule.
I'll ride it, and I will ride it after the first time, beccause I go to Disney to ride it all, good bad and out of place.
I enjoyed maelstrom, it's gone, and that sucks. but its happened before, it will again, just enjoy the ride.

It didn't have to be a written rule because it is blatantly obvious.

Yes, they all complain about how the standards are slipping and how the new attractions don't appeal but keep paying to go every year...:rolleyes: Sound familiar

And you know when people go and how much they pay? When was I last there and how did I enter?

Where are you going with this?
However you pay, whenever you go and whether you allow yourself to enjoy WDW has nothing to do with the fact that everyone will go on the frozen attraction at least once despite the fact people are fed up of the film and whether they feel it's worthy of fitting in somewhere a bit different

Given how absolutely craptastic Frozen became after the "Let It Go" song, how about a complete re-write back to the original treatment that has Elsa actually becoming a villain and then finding redemption?

Slightly steering the thread off course: yes, those are exactly my thoughts about the movie. For the first half or so, I thought I was watching a deliriously good movie. Then it all went downhill. Elsa should've been a villain, slightly more edgy.

I'll be honest, Maelstrom wasn't the greatest ride in the world and although I'm saddened by its loss, the parks should evolve and be updated to keep them fresh and interesting, but especially kept up to date.
Ok, Frozen is the cash cow that Disney is milking for all its worth right now, and I can see the reasons why its being placed where it is. So yes I will ride it, probably more than once in a single trip providing the queues aren't horrendous o_O
I'm trying to be positive about it and I do hope they have managed to capture the charm of the movie whilst making it an enjoyable experience for everyone that rides it.

I still don't understand all of the bickering with the original ride... yes, it was unique, but it also wasn't THAT fantastic of an attraction that would cause this much fanfare. Why are people more upset over this than the closing of Snow White for an overhyped character greet spot? At least there is a new attraction going in Maelstrom's spot.

Maybe I'll ride it once, but I fear it's gonna suffer the same syndrome as the Seas with Nemo and Friends. It was built during the time of when the film's popularity was huge, and nowadays, the popularity is still not as strong. Heck, even Circle of Life (the film at The Land pavilion) suffers this. It was made during the era when The Lion King was the 90's Frozen, and nowadays, hardly anyone goes to see it.

And yet, Disney still keeps these rides around...

I'll for sure ride it. I liked maelstrom, so I don't see why I won't ride this. Like others have mentioned if nothing else, it should shorten the wait times for the other rides at Epcot like Test track and Soarin.

Written rule or not, why does there have to be a fantasyland ride in World Showcase? It doesn't make thematic sense. Disney should treat their thematic coherency with greater respect.

Agree, but the same could be said on the ruination of Rio Del Tiempo. WDW decided it was "Too Boring" or too "characterless" to continue as just a celebration of Mexican culture. Thus, the 3 caballeros, based on some 1940s Donald Duck Musical no one really knows.

I often say the same things of El Rio. It shouldn't have happened in 2006, but that isn't an excuse to continue the downward trend in 2015.

And no one knows the 3 Caballeros??? A Disney classic? The hallmark of the Good Neighbor program...?

I'm with you, but I guarantee you 1 in 100 guests under 40 would know the 3 Caballeros.
