Norway is getting a Frozen ride. Which makes no sense to me, though I guess Donald Duck is in the Mexico ride so there is that.
It makes perfect sense. The movie is heavily influenced by Norway. The country no longer sponsors and subsidizes the pavilion and Maelstrom was never very popular. Disney will put in the new ride, add a ton of Frozen merch at the end and clean up. Plus they're expanding the pavilion to include a permanent meet and greet area for Ana and Elsa....with more gift shops I'm sure. This will be a big financial win for the park.
People used to complain and chastise Disney for not having a Little Mermaid ride in the parks. They finally put one in 20ish years later. Now, Disney jumps on the popularity of a movie - which isn't fading - and people go apeshit. Epcot isn't the old Epcot anymore. It stopped being that a long time ago. As much as I don't care for it, it makes complete economic sense.

IDK it was easily the most popular ride in World Showcase.

Maybe not in the entire park, but in W.S. it was the best available.
Aside from the margarita stand it was normally our first stop when W.S. opened

Agreed, but it is kind of sad that Epcot no longer seems to focus on it's original "educational" intent.
