Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

[Mike S]

It starts...

 

[Pluto89]

Interesting... It says that the Thrill Level = "Slow Ride" and that guests can remain in wheelchairs and ECV's. Does this mean the drop has been removed somehow?

I sure hope not! But with all the rumors going around who knows.

It hasn't.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Haha, how would they remove the drop?? They get you up to the show level of the ride... and you just... stop up there and never come back down?

It was always a slow ride, drops or on drops. The drops barely add anything.

Crowd level predictions for areas of Epcot once this thing goes live:

Key:
Black - Buildings.
Blue - Water areas, which will have people in them during busier periods of the day.
Dark Green - Vegetation, which will have roughly half the crowds of the pathways around them.
Green - Deserted
Yellow - Areas populated by people here for Soarin', Test Track, or Mission: SPACE, or people desperately trying to find children's rides
Orange - Crowded
Red - Hope you brought camping gear.

Those are some really funny predictions there! I'm betting that Frozen is going to have INSANE crowds there and some of the longest waits in Disney history.

At least those POV videos will be on YouTube shortly after the attraction opens for people who don't wanna wait in line

Up on the main site now. My favorite is the height requirements...

So looks like the facade has a blue roof.

And if that's accurate, then the waterfall is staying.

The Maelstrom have boats that could handle wheelcharis/ECVs?

This caught my eye.

Hoist the sails in Arendelle aboard an ancient Norwegian vessel as you set out into the wondrous wintery world of Frozen!

Ancient indeed. I'm guessing, what, about 26 years old?

If I remember right Maelstrom you had to transfer from your ECV/Wheelchair to ride Maelstrom

 

[MagicHappens1971]

The symbol next to the FP one means you have to transfer right? I was pretty sure you couldn't go on with a wheelchair/ECV.

 

[Mike S]

I guess some boats have been altered to allow ECV/Wheelchairs on. Explains why they were hauled off. Won't that cut down a bit on the original capacity?

Yeah, that's the must transfer symbol.

 

[MagicHappens1971]

Yeah, that's the must transfer symbol.

Than maybe they did remove the drop? Could that be one of the reasons the construction is taking so long?

That's how about how long I been rolling on this earth. I don't feel ancient

I think it's very unlikely the drop was removed. It's possible that the accessibility information is wrong, especially considering that the height information is wrong.

The drop isn't big but would it be safe with a person sitting on an ECV or Wheelchair?
