Episode Details

Way back when, before Elsa ever sang Let It Go, the ride in the Noway pavilion in Epcot wasn't Frozen Ever After, but a Norwegian history and folklore ride called Maelstrom. Amanda and Janette deep dive into the history of this ride, going over the history of its creation, why it had a delayed opening, and re-live what the ride experience was like. Was Maelstrom one of your favorite rides, or do you prefer Frozen Ever After more?
