Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

[Flippin'Flounder]

Not completely, but it does tilt you very far backward near the Whomping Willow. Certainly enough to mess with your sense of equilibrium.

Got stuck in the same spot, except I thought it was fun!

 

[Next Big Thing]

And to be fair, Disney always said Spring 2016 until now. It's not really hard to follow. The project fell behind schedule. See also every new development at Disney Springs...still waiting on 2015's opening of STK Orlando!

Eh, that's slightly different.

We all knew STK was being overly ambitious when they stated a 2015 opening and work hadn't even begun until about May or June. It'll be close to 2 years by the time Frozen opens and it's using the existing ride track from before!

that is like comparing apples to rocks... different contractors, different construction processes, different paymaster...

which is pathetic - this isn't even a long attraction with as many scenes as most

Perhaps it has already been stated here, but don't you think the opening is dependent not only on the changes to the former Maelstrom boat ride but the completion of the new buildings that will be part of the Norway pavilion?

Why would it be? The ride track was not expanded into the new structures.

There is no reason they need to open together.

Crowds.

unless Iger wants to have a huge presentation (aka an announcement of an announcement of a possible soon to open ride) like they did with the 7dmt ?

That would not require the projects to actually be finished at the same time. The attraction could have a prolonged soft opening.

While that is absolutely true, i firmly believe that they will open them both together. They want the "synergy" that the new M&G and Frozen Ever After ride will command being together. $$$ will rain down on them that day.

spreading would force hardcore fans to visit TWICE.

Do you think that since the ride and queue area are inside that the construction walls will be taken down possibly in the next few months before the ride is open or do you think they will keep them up until June or when it opens?

Do you happen to know what "Show Control" means?

The contractor is Elite A/V systems so it's probably audio and video wiring.

Oh ok, I was just curious. Thank you!

So, they're finally programming the AA's, shows, and sound effects?

I still do not see how this "child-directed" ride will mix with the drunks of world showcase

It wont...get ready to have two year old trampled by the drunk fest..
