Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

[RobbinsDad]

This is the first time in forever that I actually care. We're going to be in the World mid-June and I organized a family reunion on the wife' side (their request) with my DVC points. We're spending time in EPCOT just so my 5 year old niece can go on this. Now, I'm thinking I should have never, ever mentioned this many months ago. Oh wells. Maybe they're all huge Ellen DeGeneres fans.

I see what you did there...

My daughters are both in their 40's and we're not going, so you will have to describe your feeling to those of us left emotionally deprived.

I can probably tell you right now

Decent ride. Nice effects. Too short. Should not have replaced maelstrom and took too long to build

Good catch. I do many things. Some are caught. Some aren't. Occasionally, I'm glad some things aren't caught due to moderation. :lookaroun

Also, should be in DHS or Mk

People dont watch you the way they watch me.

Probably true. It is actually pretty amazing that only three people watch over this asylum.

Hey!

I, uh, I mean they removed that camera in your place. . didn't they???

OK, now I'm confused. On a previous post the rockwork was decried as being a PhotoShop job, but here are pictures showing similar rockwork from a different angle. IS there actually rockwork going up in Norway, or are all of these pictures faked?

Since I just saw it Saturday with my own two eyeballs, its there. The pictures from Thursday showed wire mesh, I saw concrete and workers.

I hope not, I was getting 40% of the revenues!

If they can't open soarin and this new frozen ride that is taking forever by the beginning on June for the summer crowds then that is pathetic on their part

Pathetic to capture the crowds, yes.

Perfectly fine if one is trying to extend CapEx expenditures into another quarter.

DHS? Is this a common opinion? I would put that well behind where it's going now as a good fit. I get that the DHS is a bit of a hodge podge, but I can't picture Frozen going there without being a pretty random transition theme-wise.

Cause I'm sure the transition from a space galaxy far far away to a little kid's oversized backyard with big toys will be seamless....

Sure, just put the Millennium Falcon on the edge of the two lands. Iconic starship in one land, mere toy among others in Andy's backyard in another.

Okay but the transition from Hollywood Boulevard to a backyard or space; would be about the same transition as it would be to the port of Arendalle.

Just passed by and snapped some photos after enjoying the mariachi band in Mexico (those guys are great!).

In typical Disney fashion, the rock work looks very good.

I agree. My suggestion with the Falcon was tongue-firmly-in-cheek. Up until now, the re-skins of legacy Epcot attractions has been subtle or unnoticeable from the outside. The Norway facade is going to look cartoonish based on the construction pics.

Edit: I'm referring to bringing characters to Living Seas and Mexico.

Because the flow from star wars to toy story will be amazing? I say DHS because it could be more adaptable than MK, especially for a franchise that is definitely not going to have the legs that they expect it to. Frozen 2 will not be nearly as successful and it will signal the beginning of the end of their investment in this IP.

Maybe they decided to change it back to Maelstrom

Ahhhhh, we can only hope.

The characters in world showcase until this point have been pretty hard to see unless you were really looking. I miss being able to avoid them.
