Norway

Maelstrom

The main attraction of the Norway pavilion is a ten-minute ride that uses boats modeled after those used by Vikings over 1,000 years ago. Aboard these ships you'll embark on a voyage through the myths and legends of Norway. The ride takes an exciting turn once riders enter Troll Country and mischevious trolls send guests out of control to the North Sea. After the boat ride, your look at Norway continues in a theater, where a movie depicting life in modern Norway is presented.
