Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

[danv3]

Although they would never do this, the best thing to do for Frozen would be to have it be no FP. Then at least everyone would have a shot at the ride on an equal basis (i.e., if you want to ride, you show up and wait).

7DMT is still going strong as FP+ hard to come by even a few weeks out. Makes me wonder if as an AP if I will ever get a shot at getting a FP for Frozen. Maybe like 4 years after it opens. A day guest? Maybe never ha.

Looks like some are already saying Fozen mania is over.

It'll be great press.

”the lines are out the door and down to the promenade. It must be really popular."

As if the area in front of Mexico isn't congested enough during F&WF..can you imagine the additional headaches causes by Frozen to that section of WS?

First, that ignores the upcoming sequel. Second, the article fails to mention that while the lines to meet are shorter, they are by no means short. Today, Anna & Elsa were pulling in 60 minute wait times according to the MDE app, longer than any other character in MK. 3) Snow White is a 70 year old film who's title princess has very short wait times, that didn't stop the ride from being very popular despite the many criticisms ("It's too short! It needs another show scene! Those @#$%ing seats!!!").

Hopefully the sake of the operations team at Epcot, Frozenmania has died down. However, I think the consensus here is that the ride will be underbuilt from a capacity standpoint.

And is the reality of almost every attraction. With the exception of KSR on some days. There is no attraction that can accommodate all of the guests in their respective parks.

No no no don't twist this. Frozen's demand is dangerous to the point of putting the attraction in the low capacity maelstrom was not only stupid but irresponsible. This is going to be a bit of a different ballgame than your standard high in demand eticket.

one article, not founded in any sort of data, and it neglects that the storm is only gaining more traction. Broadway is ahead, as is a sequel. Frozen isn't going anywhere despite the hope of many.

I agree, the article is rubbish. Try getting a FP for A&E if you are staying off property, it's not happening.

This. It's going to ruin World Showcase as it's going to become congested.

What isn't rubbish is that we only had to wait 15 minutes if your go right to A&E for stand by. Article is hyped up but I believe the theory likely has merit (frozen over saturation)

It's a Mob scene on Friday nights......

You make a good point. World Showcase cant win, lol. This will become a paradox of sorts if they continue to add character based attractions in WS. *Dr Emmit Brown voice: Great Scott!

- Families avoid WS due its lack of rides and find it "boring" and in turn visit Epcot less than other parks

- Disney adds characters and rides to entice those families

- Families who liked WS for its dining and cultural aspects end up avoiding it due to the crowds and cartooning and eventually visit less.

I scrolled through about 15 pages, but I can't find a construction update. How is it progressing?

And thus spun as a wild success.

It's still happening. Sadly.

The blurred lines between wildly successful and absolute cluster flup make that easy to do.

I'm doing what I can... already update the MK Hub thread, WDW speedway area thread... But I won't be able to update this thread with construction pics until my next EPCOT visit on Nov 13-15 or so.
LOL
