From what I recall Disney approached Norwegian sponsors to update the ride and they declined so FROZEN TIME!

Yeah it's crazy to think our only options from a multi billion dollar entertainment company are cartoons or somebody else pays for it.

Idk I just feel like They missed an opportunity to show Elsa be an awesome strong woman and save us from something like an avalanche or some kind of new villian

She is way too busy singing about herself to be bothered helping anyone... She is just singing watching everyone go backwards over the falls... lol
Good try.
That one was trotted out a long time ago and got no traction.
But keep trying to find something else to rile the masses and make Disney change their mind on the re-theme!

That's actually a relatively short turn around window, and since Frozen hasn't ceased being popular by any means, it's foolish to pretend this wasn't a sound choice. It wasn't a dead IP and it's still not, especially with the sequel.

It was a bad choice, because they didn't give one of their most popular IPs a good ride with decent capacity.
Even if you think FEA is a good ride (I think it's pretty bad), it still has abysmal capacity for something that was basically guaranteed to draw high crowds due to IP popularity -- I think it can only handle roughly 1000 people per hour (it may be slightly higher, but it's the lowest capacity ride at EPCOT), which means only around 25% of EPCOT visitors can ride it on any given day.

Well that goes without saying.

I think they learned their lesson, since Frozen at HKDL, WDSP and TDS will be in a dedicated land with a ride that presumably will have higher capacity.
WDW just got stuck with the worst of both, and the decision has only aged worse with time.

WDW has been getting mostly clones lately.
I mean... only original seems to be Guardians lately.. and maybe mickey's runaway.

I don't think it will have much higher capacity -- Martin said that it's an exact clone with no additional scenes. I'm not sure if it's possible to really increase capacity considering how short the ride is. I guess they could potentially add seating to the boats, but that would be a relatively small boost.

Kite show
It's why they had to suspend AP sales.
Everyone wanted to see the Kite show!
- Flight of Passage
- Navi River Journey
- Slinky Dog Dash
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Now, do you count as a clone the rides originating at WDW and then going to be cloned elsewhere:
- M&M Runaway Railway
- Frozen Ever After
How about a ride that was a clone, but now, unique:
- People Mover
How about a unique ride, but exact same mechanics of a 'clone':
- Alien Saucers
Also, the other Disney parks have the same issue, have very few unique rides that aren't cloned elsewhere.

Seven dwarves is also in Shanghai, and one of the frozen attractions in another park may use its layout, but otherwise you are right, I also doubt Cosmic Rewind will be cloned (at least exactly).

Isn’t the Shanghai Seven Dwarves different? I mean like still a clone but isn’t it different? I don’t think Cosmic Rewind will be cloned either tho, I don’t know anywhere that would be a good spot for it
