about to get Frozen
Meet Maelstrom, the super quirky and full of charm ride about Norway (a High Seas Norwegian Adventure) that is about to be closed. The reason?, an overhyped but very well marketed film called Frozen. (An incredible marketing machine is the only reason I can find for this movie to succeed that much... plain and overly done script... check, songs with ridiculously simplistic music and lyrics... check, hysterical voice acting and jokes seen a thousand times, check check check, but I digress...). So this ride that opened in 1988 and was a testimony of a better time for Epcot is closing its doors very soon. I didn't know that was the case when I took this picture, so it's become my particular homage to this ride, that you couldn't skip on an Epcot day. It's hard to appreciate but it was pouring rain when I took the picture.... As usual lately, Disney executives went for the easiest and fastest way to profit. Don't get me wrong, Disney is a huge company and its goal is to make money.... but then, please, don't get angry if some of us say that you're all in for the money and pretty much out for the art behind this industry. So sad.
