Frozen ride in Epcot

[Eoghann]

They could have concentrated on Future World. WS has (had) the advantage of being popular for festivals and dining. That whole front area has two and a half rides and little else. Elsa could have taken over a huge pavilion. The Wonders of Frozen?

Disney too often takes the easy way out nowadays.

Could have, sure. But I don't think they had any incentive to. Frozen doesn't fit the theme of Future World any better than it does World Showcase, maybe even less. And while Future World clearly needs lots of help there wasn't a ride that could be "quickly" re-themed. At most this is a band aid anyway. It gets Frozen in the parks as an attraction, it potentially at least frees up Princess Fairytale Hall for the odd other Princess and it boosts Epcot attendance somewhat. Future World is completely and possibly irreversibly broken.

But and here I go being negative again, why would Disney do more? People will just show up anyway and clap their hands.

Negative or realistic? The truth about the sorry state of Future World practically slaps you in the face. Epcot WAS my favorite themepark anywhere. Now it's just meh. (I'll be kind.)

The difference to me is that Future World needs the help much more than World Showcase. WS for all its flaws is still pretty nice. If an attraction had to go in the wrong place anyway why not put it where it could help the most?

Eh that ship has sailed. I just hope that whatever becomes of WS that it is worth it.

They'll probably work on Futureworld after Hollywood studios or at least after Pandora is finished.
