So I've never been to WDW I live in Cali so I've only been to Disneyland. The reason I'm looking this up is because of Kingdom Keepers 3 & I'm not really getting the point of this ride. Can someone please explain it to me?
I waited 1 hour for this stupid ride. That was the shortest and most pointless ride ever. Waste of my time. I couldve rode soarin or space ship earth. And you go up the longest hills and the drop is only 5 feet. BULLCRAP!
@angel12235 You obviously can't appreciate any other country's culture and lifestyles.It's not like there is a ton of acreage in the Norway pavilion for them to put a city out there.If you had any sense you'd realize that each country in Epcot,is representing a small fraction of what each country is like.But you are obviously so "full of it" that you can't appreciate what you do see.And yes,I happen to like the Maelstrom at the Norway pavilion.
I went on this ride when I was only 4 years old. my mom and dad thought it was just a plain boat ride, but it wasn't :p I'm still scared of the ride, even today!
lol I always loved this ride. I haven't been on it in a good little minute. Everytime I go to Disney its always with my cousins who want to stay in Magic Kingdom because they are only like 6 or Hollywood Studios but not EPCOT because they only like 2 rides in it. Plus this ride is in the World Showcase and I always get lost.
I hated this ride so much, it sucks they didnt go with their original idea for it.
Norways history is either boring or bloody (which I doubt disney will ever give us in a ride). Thats why we invented the trolls, giants, elves, ect. Because its fun and entertaining. A story about a lost viking party beging tracked by trolls IS norways history.
Remember norway for its lore, not because we have oil rigs and polar bears.
ha ha ha i am soooo homesick for disney world too! I also LOVE the pirates ride, splash mountain, and big thunder mountain. (BTM is where my big bro works. never been on it tho.) lol.
whoa!! last year i commented on this ride and said that i was going to Disney World in 3 days and today (this year) i am going to Disney in 3 days!! haha soo weird but SOOOOO EXCITEDDDD =]] WOOOOHOOOOOO!! hehe
last year my little sister and my daughter went on this ride 6 times no one was on it we ate at the princess castle too,we are leaving again in june cant wait love disneyworld always
Umm yes you should brunodale ...sometime you half to wait that long and even longer 1st time for us was 30 min,and the 2nd time was 50+.Yes I can wait an hour before closing and get on at 5 min.
You should never have to wait that long. If the wait time is over 5 mins, just go back and ride it later. It's really fun when you have been drinking at all the Epcot countries. The girls there are definately hot Norwegian babes.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Norway is nothing like this. There are no polar bears here! Stupid video. And some of you dare say that this ride is educational. I think NOT! Have ever been to Norway, or do you have relatives here? On what grounds do you base your allegation?
Take a valium and chill out. This ride at Disney World in Florida was built by the country of Norway. It is currently sponsered by Norway and employs citizens of Norway. Just like the other countries at World Showcase.
I doubt that anyone with a brain is going to think a RIDE appropriately represents a country. I don't think that the American South is full of singing birds because of Splash Mountain.
@shigsipthere's sometimes polar bears in norway proof : The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and adjacent land masses. there is evidence that they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada, and there have been sightings as far south as Berlevag on the Norwegian mainland and the Kuril Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk.
I hated this ride! I screamed when we went down the log floom and i tried to get out before we started lol... I can still remember it even tho it was like 6 years ago!
Is this a good ride for a 6 year old girl? She gets scared of everything dark. She missed out on Big thunder mountain, and didn't like Splash Mountain and HATED Dinosaur. Is this a good ride for her? I want to go on this really badly but i don't want my my friends sister (The 6 year old girl) to be scared to death. I am going with my friends to Disney in December and i don't want a little girl screaming and crying and whining about a little ride.
I always thought they should have Cuba in the world showcase, and they can use the mold for this ride as the Cuban ride. Instead of a norwegian wooden boat there would be a raft. When that creepy eye opens up at the beginning, that can be Castro seeing you sneak away. The trolls can be the coast guard, replace the polar bears with sharks. And your goal is to make it to Florida. At the end of the ride, the lady on the mic can say "Welcome to America!", and hands you your papers!
This is my favorite of all World Showcase, I loved it since I was little and I hope they never or update like they did to Mexico (which they shouldn't have done IMO).
When I first went on this ride back in 2002, I thought we were really gonna go backwards down that waterfall. I was like "Oh shit!". Underrated ride, IMO. Always fun to go on.
i went on this ride at 12 midnight when no one was in the park (it was one of those after hours thing) and i awas the only one on this ride and i like crapped my pants i thought somethin was gonna come out and like bite me
lol XD i can hear someone saying in norwegian there think its the ride thingy saying it but they say ''og det første sjøtrollet du så også tenker jeg'' which means in english something like ''and the first seatroll ''sea dragon'' ''sea ogre'' u saw i bet'' something like that :P
omg this is one of my favorites not top favorites but favorites never the less i lovee this ride definitely one of my favorites in the world showcase! gonna be in disney in 3 days!! =] =] =] my whole family is soo excited
@2:13 it sounds like a nasty fart! The little kid says "what the heck was that?". Funny thing is, my two boys said the same thing when we were there in '04. We laughed about it the whole night...
Hey, I know that girl waving those brave Vikings goodbye in the very beginning of this film!! We worked in "Galstrom" (gal means crazy in norwegian..) together in 2003.. memories...Have a magical!!
Troll is an obvious troll. :P
