Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride (Part 2)

[mickey v-neck]

Princess Hug Zone...LOL.

The first time I saw the Yellow/Orange wall I was freaked out...but by the 3rd time I walked past it, I was kinda digging it. The whole area looks like they are going for a completely different vibe than the original Norway Pavilion...which is kinda sad. However, it shows some ambition in what they are trying to accomplish. Operational logistics and theme appropriateness aside, I'm a lot more open minded now about this area.

Yeah the yellow wall is pretty dope.

Yep, the line jumping fights are going to be a very popular attraction in Norway if "Place Holding" is commonplace.

I wonder if they will add a FP watching area.. to see the queue for Anna and Elsa (aka the fights)

While the attraction itself goes against the original idea of WS, the inclusion of this new yellow facade themed to Bryggestredet in Norway does kind of fit with the original design approach to the WS pavilions which involved mashing vernacular architectural styles together. As far as the external aesthetics, to be fair to WDI, they do seem to have put a lot of thought into maintaining at least the appearance of a Norway rather than Frozen pavilion.

Not only a lot of thought, but time and effort into the research. Not that it's a surprise, frankly.

What I want to see is the walls come down and an open attraction.

The aging is phenomenal. Wow!

Thankfully, the FEA sign is not a cartoon and is on the subdued side.

 

[Clamman73]

Anyone explain this symbol? I got my own guesses, but maybe not what it's actually all about...

That's a nice, interesting touch- wonder if it's a traditional Norwegian decoration.

Hate how "Ever After" is lowercase. It's bothersome.

That's a very common molding/symbol in architecture during that time. It's not an homage or reference to anything specific.

It's a symbol of the Trinity, which can be found in art and architecture throughout Europe. It's most frequently associated with Celtic designs, but given how much the Celts and Norse overlapped and influenced one another late in the first millennium, it's tough to say exactly where the symbol originated

A similar shape was carved into the railings in front of Cinderella Castle prior to its recent construction, with more of a French-gothic style

As much as I'm sure people will attempt to claim, it's not a Hidden Mickey.

The sign looks a little, big, to me. Maybe because I was expecting one of similar size to Maelstrom's. That little dude looks like Kristoff btw.
