The original Snow Queen ride system for DL was a boat ride. It was supposed to go where the Fantasyland theater is now.

It basically was an attraction that was like the Jungle Cruise but with an arctic theme.

Pretty much.

They have said they are cloning the Maelstrom ride system and the scenes are going to be almost identical

Who said that?

Pretty sure it was the site-that-shall-not-be-named that first reported that.

I mean, you never know with Disney, but that seems very far-fetched to me too. Why would they clone an antiquated 30-year-old ride system?

Disney exec riding it and wondering why there's a weird boat ride with trolls and a polar bear that isn't themed to Frozen and selling dolls instead of charming weird Norwegian trinkets in the gift shop.

Have you watched a pov of the Frozen Ride? It's the same ride track but with additional show scenes at the beginning and end. It's longer than Maelstrom. Also, there are 0 references to it in the ride. A normal guest wouldn't even know Maelstrom was once there. Theres no polar bears and there is trolls, but the trolls from the movie.

I think online customer service reps are only a notch or two above front line CMs when it comes to information about parks projects...

Only RoL, Rat, and Alcatraz are dark rides. The others are simulators or coasters, which aren’t what people are referring to when they talk about dark rides.

Do they not all have air conditioning?

AC was invented after the events in SW:GE so one can assume it will NOT have AC...

And Ratatouille and Avatar ride are both incredibly light on or have no animatronics, using primarily screens. So they suck! Screw 'em! Give me a huge cast of audio animatronics ala Pirates of the Caribbean or blacklit figures with minimal movement or else it's not a true dark ride.

I am hoping Disney has audio animatronics if they make the Mary Poppins dark ride at WDW.

For a ride that is "primarily screens", it has pretty few of them.

And if the AAs you're asking for are like the ones in MK's PotC... that's like asking for vacuum tube monitors instead of 4K LED flat screens.

Don't forget to ask them for an exact count of AAs that are fully articulated v. those that aren't. And the square footage of the staff's break room. And the maintenance cycle of the RVs.

That is a lot to ask in a single chat session. Need to break that up into multiple chats.
