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

[Bolt]

The sign reminds me of WalMart

Yep - they're both blue...

Am I the only one who thinks the new stone facade looks terrible and really shoe-horned in? It doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the buildings. It looks like the entrance to a church or something. IDGI.

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.

Someone needs to photoshop Olaf's face on Spaceship Earth complete with his grin.

That yellow wall is horribly out of place. The other two facades look good, but that yellow wall is so visually offensive. It assaults the eyes because it's shoehorned in.

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?

You only joined last week. Welcome!

You've a lot to catch up on.

Hour 12 of 16.5 here working the hospital gig. It'll be a while before I see my bed. In other news, thank god for that water gimmick in norway coming back though!

Agreed, and the blue roof is such a steep angle it makes the whole facade area look flat...very weird to me

The stone looks ok to me, it's the yellow clapboard portion that bothers me. It is directly connected to stone structures all the way around, behind it and on both sites which doesn't make sense to me.

TWO YEARS - the same amount of time it took to complete Diagon Alley.

Hope it's just as good.

agree, seems hodge podge. I thought it was beautiful and charming the way it was but they seem determined anymore to set out and undo everything Imagineering had done so well. On the upside, like others have said at least its staying true to Norwegian architecture and not a huge cartoon frozen front, but.....ho hum. And not real crazy about the blue and brown, with that bright white wall under the yellow all next to each other.

Be careful who you call ugly in middle school....

It's still ugly compared to what was there before.

I don't believe any pics of this angle have been posted yet, just found this on Instagram via @disneyscott98

The blue trim work makes it look slightly better. Hoping i like it more once it's complete.
