Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

[Christian Fronckowiak]

since michel den dalk designed it, it should be very nice and well done, for that particular reason by itself.

He's Tony Baxter's "mentee" (Tony is his mentor.)

TBH it actually sounds like a decent ride.

Not that I will ever be willing to stand that long to ride it.

I'm sure the ride will be excellent. The only issue is placement and capacity.

 

[Sped2424]

Yeah I actually think the ride will be very cute and well done. It's just everything else that's the issue.

Do we know what the theoretical capacity will be? Maelstrom was pretty low in actuality it seemed (not much better than a spinner).

From what I have seen on here more or less the same capacity as maelstrom.

Yikes! I was afraid of that. I suppose I won't be visiting Norway for a few years until Frozen fever cools.

So I'm guessing this confirms that the waving goodbye from Anna, Elsa, and the rest, will be right at the track switch, where the boat begins forward again, and down the last drop. So that means were the oil rig once was will now be the fireworks display.... Figment would be proud..lol..smh

I believe that piece of art will be where the oil rig was. The boat on the left seems to be load/unload.

I also assumed this scene would be in the oil rig room. Weren't we supposed to be pushed "over the falls" by Marshmallow, telling us to let it go!"?

I see the confusion. The boat in the artwork does appear to be heading down, but it just as easily could be obscured in the shadows heading into unload.

I believe the Marshmallow man is at the backwards drop section.

You are probably right. The sky above the little house looks pretty vast

His name is Michel den Dulk, who also worked on Fantasy Faire in Disneyland.

Either that or stay at a disney resort. Then you can make your fastpass 60 days in advance.

The problem is that we always hop to Epcot because my wife's and son's favorite attractions are at MK and AK, plus World Showcase not opening until 11:00.

That's going to have to change in some way to handle the frozen mess, will be interesting to see. But I have seen a lot of people walking through the UK and such in the morns for example trying to get in the shops and what not, yet everything is locked up until 11. Its ridiculous when people pay the money they do and then nothing is even open, especially with the amount of crowds nowadays.

World Showcase used to fully open at 9. Sigh.

I'd be surprised if Frozenstrom isn't open with Futureworld.

 

[French Quarter]

You need one of these! Just wait to see how long it takes to load one of these babies onto the bus!

A wheelchair with a seat belt? Hardcore!

Just saw this...description of the attraction? http://www.orlandosentinel.com/trav...b-frozen-ever-after-epcot-20151028-story.html

I appreciate this:

“What we try to do is take you back to the movie without retelling that story,” said Kathy Mangum, the lead Imagineer on the new attraction.

I always prefer to go into the world of the movie to watching them try to scramble and tell a whole story in 3 minutes.

Particularly if they look to somehow tie in the ride and the princess breakfast....

I guess the best news is one day, if Frozen was to be replaced, the pavilion could be saved. From what I am reading the expansion is going to resemble Norwegian architecture. So one day they could gut everything and replace it again. That's never going to happen obviously, but at least everything will look great from the outside.

Except for the horrible ride title, frozen ever after, above the doors, uggg. I still say "Olaf's Adventure" would have looked and sounded better for being in Norway. instead of some fairy princess title. At least all new Norwegian merch has really been ramped up in the store recently, so at least in some ways they are trying to retain theme here and there with products and architecture.
