I would love to see maelstrom get an update but I don't think a frozen ride belongs there. Keep the princess rides in magic kingdom and let the world showcase stay as such. Maelstrom is currently epcots third e-ticket ride. While I was honestly blown away by the movie I think it would cheapen the world showcase and didn't tie itself to Norway as strongly as it would need to in order to belong.
How much room do they have? Could they add a larger ride? Frozen was a great film but the current ride is so very short.
The only reason Frozen did so well was the lack of Holiday Kids selections and even less of a selection of Holiday themed movies.
I think it has good word of mouth too. I'm hearing a lot of people talk about how much they loved this movie and how its the best Disney movie they've seen in a while. My family loved it, even my wife, and she's as hard to please as they come.
Per Moviefone, Jim Hill said on the Disney Dish podcast that a Frozen ride might be replacing Maelstrom in 2015. Frozen is now Disney's second highest grossing animated movie behind The Lion King and Disney doesn't want to wait 20 years later like they did with The Little Mermaid. If the ride happens, no word if it'll remain a boat ride. Full article here:

Like any Jim Hill rumor, I'd take it with a grain of salt, but I'd love for this to be true. Frozen was a fantastic movie, one of the best animated movies in a long time and certainly in my top 10 movies of 2013. Your thoughts?

Exactly. I had to wait almost a half hour just to get seats the other day after two showings before were sold out. Lots of people are seeing it and seeing it again and that's all that matters in this case.It doesnt matter why people saw it, just that its gotten a lot of exposure. Regardless of its competition, theres a good chance a large fraction of people walking through the turnstiles saw the movie and thats all that matters.
