It does. That's why I'm hoping though that they find some way to still showcase it as the story was 99% based off of Norway (whether it was or not, I will convince myself of it)

99%? In what way? So far the references I've seen mentioned in other threads have nothing to do with the story at all, and are obscure enough that the average person wouldn't notice without watching the film more than once anyway.

I agree. Besides some if the architecture, rosemarling (sp?), and some of Kristoff's costuming based off an indginious tribe, there was not really a lot of Norweigian culture in Frozen.

No no no no no, I wasn't saying at all it was, because I really don't think so. You only quoted a little bit and not the whole thing.
What I was saying was that I hope Disney does though try to shove down our throats that it is so that it feels somewhat in place
Well everyone that has done any research at all on Norway knows they have a huge problem with singing snowmen and ice monsters wearing tiaras.

Thank you for setting me straight, Great Churro Master
If Norway really did have singing snowmen, I think I know where my next vacation would be!

I quoted the part that I comprehended at the time... for some reason, the way you are wording your posts makes it hard for me to follow. We'll call it baby brain for now
I even had to re-read your response to me a time or two just now to make sure that I read it correctly. Making Frozen feel "in place" will definitely be a challenge for anyone who thinks about this on a critical level IMO. The powers that be are clearly relying on people to be of the Disney Bubble mindset and not think too hard about how illogical this whole thing truly is.

I agree. Personally, I wouldn't mind if the theme had been to showcase the countries of the world "Disney" style with their characters, but that hasn't been it. But, like the three duck amigos I probably will adapt quickly.I quoted the part that I comprehended at the time... for some reason, the way you are wording your posts makes it hard for me to follow.

Although, the ducks are a little more Mexican then magic princesses are Norwegian

I predict the executives will be happy, the average guest pleased, and the long time fan base, or the purists, will be upset. For myself, I'll miss Maelstrom. I'll lament for the passing of EPCOT's original "mission", if you will. But, as life moves on, so will I, so I'm sure I'll take a look, stare dumbfounded at the mass of Elsa and Anna devotes, and move on.

That, and at least the Mexico ride still references places in Mexico and parts of Mexican culture (to an extent). The references to the Disney Blog definitely imply that this Frozen ride will have neither for Norway.

It will probably just be an overlay..
Olaf's head greets you as you come on the chain lift, then you're in Arendelle and it's covered in snow then you pass by Anna who's going the direction you're going to look for Elsa. Doors open to reveal Elsa and Anna arguing and she strikes her with the magic sending your boat backwards, as you go backwards on your left side, the trolls are singing "fixer upper" and then, what used to be a waterfall is now the window of the room where olaf comes to help rescue Anna and get him to Kristoff. Then Olaf says "come, this way!" and you go down this small drop and there's a wall blocking two small scenes, one where Elsa is crying over Anna's frozen ice body, then it goes dark and you hear Olaf say "An act of true love thaws a frozen heart" dah dah dah dah dramatic music, final scene, waving as passengers go to the station (such as little mermaid) the end.
The overlaid attraction.

I don't think so without changing the ride itself.
But you have to think they took this into consideration, right? They probably have some plan.

I have a hunch that the plan involves return time tickets.
I bet they have a highly immersive and interactive queue.
