Epcot Update: Maelstrom to be replaced

Well the rumors you hear are true. Epcot is going to start getting a taste of Disney Princesses very quickly. Disney announced on Friday the Maelstrom attraction in Epcot will be replaced by a Frozen theme attraction. Disney's official announcement is below.

"We've made "Frozen" a part of the guest experience in a number of ways already and our guests have both loved and asked for more. So I'm pleased to say that we're starting construction at Walt Disney World Resort on a brand new "Frozen" attraction at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guest to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favorite moments and music from the film. The pavilion will also include a royal greeting location where Anna and Elsa can meet our guests. We think these "Frozen" elements are great complements to the Norway Pavilion, which showcases the country and region that inspired the film."

Maelstrom's last day of operation will be October 5th. This new "Frozen" attraction is scheduled to open early 2016. There has been no details given yet about this new attraction.
