Disappear, Disappear

...Those are the famous lines but the beloved trolls on Norway's Malestrom.  Earlier this week the attraction had it's finale voyage and now has closed it's doors to make room for a Frozen themed attraction.  Am I sad about this Disney closure... yes. But am I excited about a trip to Arendelle... YES! There's no denying this attraction was popular but the wait had been dying down and really it was never more than 20 minutes, except on closing weekend.  I said from the moment I saw Frozen this was going to happen and I'm sure the Imagineers will do a great job! You know that line is going to be like the current line for The Mine Train.

The ride is set to open in 2016 and will be the first "imaginary" place in World Showcase... but remember it is still Norway!

What do you think of this big change?



Malestrom fun facts:

The attraction opened July 1988
Norway was the last country opened in Epcot
Remember the Polar Bear in the attraction... it's actually 10 feet tall!
The camera that shot the film at the end of the attraction is the same camera that shot "lawrence of arabia"


Don't forget to stop in the little Churh in the front of Norway... yes you can walk in there! Right now it is set up for a behind the scenes look at Frozen!
