There’s even a rumor that calls for actual freezing temperatures in the ride. If Maelstrom were to close, what kind of ride system would you like to see in it’s place? We’ve heard many rumors from a simple overlay of the current ride, with Frozen characters, to an attraction filled with snow and sleds. Just recently, The Disney Store has released a special edition shirt from the ride, complete with a glowing eye, and huge Viking. In the ride, you happen upon trolls who put a spell on you to make you disappear (DISAPPEAR! DISAPPEAR!) as they send you hurtling backwards toward the falls. It’s a bit of fun, and lends to the myths and legends of Norway. The ride’s most popular aspect are the trolls. The ride also ends abruptly and goes right into a film, which most people bypass. For years the ride has been ignored, as animatronics and ride systems have become outdated. While Norway has been putting up a fight for the past few weeks, trying to raise money to keep the attraction alive, it may not be enough to keep the attraction afloat. While this is not concrete proof by any means, it is a little bit of an indication that the attraction could soon disappear (DISAPPEAR! DISAPPEAR!) much like the Vikings that inhabit the attraction. Other attractions still have reservations available well past that, but Maelstrom is suspiciously off the list. Past that day, there is no FastPass+ reservations available for the attraction. While these have all been rumors before, it seems to be a reality as WDWNT has discovered a tentative closing date. The Disney news site pinpoints September 28th as the possible final day for operations of Maelstrom. That appears to be enough for Disney to shut down the 26 year old attraction, and replace it with the adventures of Olaf, Sven and the rest of the crew from Frozen. It also takes place, we guess, in Norway. It’s earned tons of cash at the box office, and has turned into a world-wide phenomenon. The Disney film, Frozen, now stands as the top animated film of all time.
