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

[Cesar R M]

Weren't there many who felt this would have a "toonified" look. Early on there were those who had fears of a giant inflatable Olaf. Many certainly felt that a giant Elsa ice castle would loom high and ruin the world showcase skyline. Wasn't the waterfall recently deemed a complete loss by many?

Dude, that was a joke.
Me and Mike used to joke about those all the time. Like a giant Olaf replacing the Hat in DHS.

Like this image of the new "epcot" upgrade.. a flaming giant hat with googly eyes on top of Space ship Earth.

It looks beautiful!

The exterior theming to me is on par with the mine train, and obviously that is saying a lot. Hopefully the ride will silence the critics as well.

We still haven't seen the interior. Which is supposed to be the main problem.. you know.

Anyway, Disney as always been superb in landscaping and rockword.

I thought location was the main problem.

I remember this little beauty

That didn't exactly happen with the Dwarf Coaster.

I think the mine train is an excellent ride for what it is. Unless you were expecting an e-ticket, what is there to be disappointed with? It was billed as a stepping stone from Barnstormer to Thunder Mountain, right? Unfortunately there were some billing it as an e-ticket or even an "e-plus-ticket" which obviously it is not. In my mind it has everything you could ask for in a d-ticket family attraction: immersive theming, beautiful visual appeal, top notch queue, fun ride experience, music, impressive audio animatronics. What am I missing?

Got it. Personally I could care less as long as they finally do something about future world.

Seriously? Can you provide a link?

There certainly were people who feared gaudy sinage that really played up the Frozen IP.
But it's not worth looking through two years of back-and-forth on whether it's ruined WS or not.

No way the attraction silences the critics. It deserved it's own expansion elsewhere.
It will still be short, and the line way too long.

Not that you don't already agree with all of that.

will the sommerhus be opening with the ride or later on?

Opening date yes, and time wise it should be with the ride, 9am.

Was there today and can definitely say that the exterior facade work looks fantastic. I didn't bother photographing as this has been photographed to death.

I will be interested to see the reports coming in when this debuts.

I agree the sign is low key reminiscent of malstrom's signage. To me I'm happy to see it fit rather see less in WS

 

[Clowd Nyne]

I really like the Sven and Christoff carving and relieved the waterfall remains.

The sign reminds me of WalMart

Good to see the falls flowing again and some great pics of the detailed exterior. The outside is great, but the biggest challenge still looms. Like most rides i'm sure their will be a lot of disagreement as to it being a success or good ride as everyones opinion is different...but thats for another thread.

so the new bryggestredet through the blue doors, is that going to be a new beverage location? I cant see how knowing the interior infrastructure/space from before, but they have reconfigured things in surprising ways in the past...the exit of course will force everyone to go through the shop, so whats the usage through the blue doors?

I'm not sure because I too am confused as to how it was previously set up.

I believe that is just simply facade. No store.
