MAELSTROM

Review from November 2002 by Deirdre Sargent:
This Viking ship o' yore ride in Norway is one of the better rides in EPCOT (considering that EPCOT is not really a "ride" kinda park). This ship takes you through Norway Past, Present and Future as well as touching on their rich Troll mythology.  There was also a "switch" (one place in the ride where your boat turns and you go backwards).  They have small drops like Pirates of the Caribean.  They fit right in with the ride but are not steep enough to be scary or to get you really wet.

The only skipable thing is the tourist film that comes after the ride. I saw it once, and it's really pretty but I've had my fill of fjords. No offense.  I would suggest see it once and then skip it for future rides.  I give this a respectable B.

Kid Grade (G): This ride is suitable for all ages. The ride is not too scary.  It is dark and there are some loud noises.  The drops are not too fast or steep.  Should be OK with Mom or Dad there for comfort.
