#MAELSTROM DISNEY RIDE TV#
Do you even recall what Walt's original vision for Epcot was? I sat in front of the tv as a child and watched Walt Disney expound upon his utopian dreams for the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" during the "Wonderful World of Disney," and the current version of Epcot looks virtually nothing like the EPCOT that Walt Disney proposed. Team Disney had no choice since the general public seems to prefer a Magic Kingdom/Disneyland type of environment.Īs far as what Walt not approving, c'mon Brian, you've got to be kidding. This is the first step in a long journey as Epcot becomes "Disneyfied." Let's face it folks, the education/reality park concept has to go because attendance at Epcot has been stagnant and will only get worse as DHS and DAK get new lands and attractions.

The Norway pavilion was the last one added to Epcot's World Showcase, and Maelstrom offered a relatively simply shoot-the-chutes boat ride, distinguished with a backwards section and, of course, Disney dark ride storytelling. Maelstrom opened in July 1988, a month after the Norway pavilion's official debut.
No word on timing for when the new attraction will be open, or even when construction will begin. We think these “Frozen” elements are great compliments to the Norway Pavilion, which showcases the country and region that inspired the film." The pavilion will also include a royal greeting location where Anna and Elsa can meet our guests. "The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favorite moments and music from the film. Walt Disney World confirmed today what many fans have be hearing (and some have feared), that Epcot's Maelstrom will be replaced by a new Frozen-themed attraction.ĭisney Parks President Tom Staggs announced: For those not interested in watching this, you can still go through the exit, which takes you into a Norway themed shop, offering stereotypical Norwegian gifts such as Viking Horn hats and model trolls.Robert Niles Disney makes it official: Frozen is taking over Epcot's Norway ride September 12, 2014, 10:22 AM You go through into a theater area that shows a film all about Norway.
