Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

[HauntedMansionFLA]

They haven't started cycling boats yet?!?!

Oh, dear.

Conflicting reports. There were people posting the boats couldn't make a turn during the ride and the boats were taking in water.

The entire fleet of ride vehicles would not be necessary in order to begin cycling.

It would be nice to stay on the topic of this forum. There are other forums to discuss other topics. Thank you for respecting the rules of forums.
Thanks for sharing pictures of the Frozen project. It is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see the ride in September.

You will spent 7 hours in line....I hope you enjoy it.

Kinda reminds me those who do very devious tracks to make them kill everyone or send the dead people to the competitors.

This gem comes to mind.

Since this ride will be part of world showcase, it won't be open at the rope drop? Just think of the angry parents and crying kids when told they have to wait two hours before the area opens.

THEY HAVEN'T STARTED CYCLING THE BOATS YET?

Only way I see it coming is if it's extremely "value-imagineered." No way we get exactly what Paris got.

Few even liked what Paris got so it's not like it can get much worse. It's a complete letdown along the lines of Antarctica at Sea World.

In Epcot today. Not much different than what we have seen. Workers were putting trim on windows. Got a shot through a small hold.

the rockwork now has tons of parts surrounded by rock walls?

I expect that the next step will be Coco going into Mexico. That's a much better fit than frozen in Norway, but would mean more cartoons in world showcase. I also think Ratatouille in France is very likely as well.

who the hell is coco?

I'm going to strip naked every time I enter that queue to add some authentic local flavour and I'm not even kidding.

There are kids that drink from public fountains. Go right ahead, bathe in it.

That was from a few days ago.

Yep it was several days ago I posted that, but Intercot wasn't the original source.

Oh I have to hope the boats were just being delivered since there were not previous Viking boat sightings. I don't wish to believe that Disney Imagineering could possibly be that inept. No. Just No.

I would imagine a downgrade on the level of Seas with Nemo compared to the Submarine Voyage.

That's spending more money than needed to basically create a new ride though when the R&D for one already exists.

A ride that uses expensive LPS technology. Believe me, we wouldn't get an exact clone otherwise we would've gotten Pooh's Hunny Hunt a long time ago. The R&D was already done for that, right?

The Pooh rides were built simultaneously at TDL/WDW and OLC paid for their ride. Pooh was similar to Frozen at WDW in that they were looking to put a ride in for the IP and they used an existing space. There's no existing space in France.

Another great reason we won't get it. If it's not Star Wars ($$$) or Avatar (I guess because of James Cameron) every future ride coming to WDW is being done on the cheap. What makes you think that'll change for Ratatouille? A movie that, and I'm sure I'm guessing correctly here, doesn't do big in merchandise? Unless someone here has been to Paris and can say how it sells over there. I'm just thinking like Disney here based on what I've seen. They're not going to do it. Trusssssst, in me.

The biggest reason against a Ratatouille attraction coming to Walt Disney World is that it is not considered a franchise in the United States.

I never said they were going to do it. In fact i'd bet heavily against any Ratatouille attraction. But if they were going to do it, I highly doubt they would virtually create a new ride for an IP that isn't big and in many ways, forgotten, in the US.

Point being why spend $200M or so for expired fruit when you can spend the same or less for perfectly healthy fruit?

How many times have you ridden it?
