that's hysterical...hey, they wrapped up Norway's whole culture with an oil rig and cruise ship. wait, what?? you mean they have more history than that?! oh yeah, they have three headed trolls with stereotypical accents worthy of a bad cartoon.
the united states equivalent would be something like a boat running into a rock, an angry mob of puritans burning/hanging/drowning teenage witches, followed by a final scene of Cinderella's castle and the mcdonald's arches. then the after movie would be an infomercial for a smoothie machine and a wind farm showing how far we've come as a nation, then dumping us out into an over-scented yankee candle shop filled with pumpkin pie spice and warm apple pie aromas to capture the 'spirit of america' and to give us an instant headache. gag.
I, for one, HATED maelstrom. it was a value engineered joke of a ride, shoehorned into a building that it shouldn't have been in, given a storyline that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, and, oh, just plain sucked. there was nothing enjoyable about that ride, other than laughing at the audacity of it actually being built by Disney in the first place.
And yeah, while I will never agree that Frozen was the right choice, Maelstrom was not a great ride... it had the beginnings of a good ride that somehow ends mid-stream. It really did need to be replaced, just wish it had been replaced with smethig more appropriate.
The Frozen ride is beautiful...but wrong location...
