Frozen Ever After

[IzzyB]

It will eliminate some fans. My Niece was the most into frozen between the ages of 2 and now (she is 3). She wasn't able to do Barnstormer (which is 35") until she was almost 3. She is not the shortest in her class. She is on the lower end, but not the shortest. Not sure why they are adding this requirement. Did they change the boats in some way that makes this a need? Or are they just trying to reduce the number of families that will go on this thing? I am hoping by some miracle they increased the size of the boat so this has a higher capacity.

I'm guessing they added lap bars to the boats.

I would think to do that they would need to change the boats out. Don't remember the boats having a ton of room for something like that. Also they aren't really needed either. I mean that ride existed for how many years with no issues. Seems silly to me especially when girls like Princesses as early as 2. Heck my neighbor down the street her daughter's 2 year old birthday party was frozen and she got a ton of frozen stuff she was excited about.

That will eliminate 90% of the Frozen hard core fans. :doh:

The Brozens..

Interesting. I don't remember Maelstrom having a height restriction.

Don't read too much into the heigh requirements quite yet, they were in fluctuation all day and Laughing Place was reporting EVERY change. Last I saw there were no height requirements.

If a meet and greet had 4+ hour waits I can only imagine the chaos this nightmare will be.

Makes me TERRIFIED for Food and Wine Festival.

One interesting thing is that on the MDE app, it says that guests will be able to ride in wheelchairs... yet we know that the drop in the ride is staying.

If the height restriction is still on, that would mean it'll be the same as Skull Island Reign of Kong.

When the interior rock work for show scenes and entire sections of the queue had no walls in January I gave up on the May opening date.

Looking at the website, i'm not sure that 35" height requirement is true. Frozen Ever After Ride at Epcot | Walt Disney World Resort

The height requirement field lists pretty much every height they use and at the end, it also says "Any Height". So who knows.

Yeah, I had a hard time believing that rumor because I thought the boats were not changing. I wish they would put longer boats in there because the capacity is gonna suck.

Apparently it keeps changing. Later on last night, someone saw the number jump to 38 inches. So... yeah.

That's probably those mischievous 7 Dwarfs up to their fiendish machinations.

They have this ride on their app with a wait time which is a little odd.

Testing? I am curious to know when softs will be. May?

I'm pretty sure it has been drastically delayed, but to be honest I didn't expect Disney to have this on schedule.

Mercy, you are way more into Disney then I would have originally imagined. You do have little peepers so I guess that is good. You are otherwise sharp and reasonable.

LOL - I guess I am not that into Disney, I didn't realize it was that delayed. I thought it was still on for summer, which late may softs would be possible for summer opening. But it sounds like not. I want to go on once just too see how much they butchered one of my favorite epcot rides. My 5 year old I may have to bribe to get her to go on though. She is not a frozen fan.

I actually like all 3 parks (including sea world) equally to be honest. They all have their plusses and their minuses. But I enjoy going to all of them. I am a theme park/amusement park fan. I actually did several paper on Kennywood when I was growing up in middle school.

Someone on Magic today said it says May 27th on the hub (Disney's intranet) fwiw...
