This is not only a subtle reference to the Universe of Energy, the EPCOT attraction that Guardians replaced, but also to the Norway pavilion’s beloved Maelstrom attraction, which closed in October 2014 to make way for Frozen Ever After. In the same display, guests might also see a depiction of a maelstrom, a powerful ocean whirlpool, which Xandarian people harness for energy.
