Viking ship??

[redfive13]

I noticed that Viking ship in the Norway pavillion has been dismantled. Anyone why this happened? They still have the dragon's head and some other pieces on display, but no ship.

I think it was a liability.

viking ship

when we asked about it they said it was under such a state of disrepair combined with multiple incidents with children running rampart and getting hurt they decided to phase it out

for the longest time they had it closed so you could not get onto the ship and now it is gone altogether, except for the decapitated dragon head

wow...I never even noticed it was unavailable! A shame, I thought it was a nice little addition to the pavillion.

Multiple choice:

1. Viking's were known for "Rape and Pillage"...not a very Disney notion.
   
2. Hägar The Horrible isn't a Disney character.
   
3. Termites

If they don't want Vikings to represent the Norway pavilion, why make a ride where the vehicle is a Viking ship? :shrug:

Its too bad its gone, I always thought it was pretty cool glad I got pictures of it before they broke it down

It was multiple choice - i.e, pick the ONE correct answer. (which is raping and pilliaging termites, which were not licensed Disney characters)

Raping and pillaging are allowed at Disney as long as you are singing a jaunty song while doing it (ie POTC)

I thought Disney invented this notion.

They do it to my bank account and wallet on a regular basis!

When we where there in January I was looking for it - thinking I was in the wrong place.
But not I know why I did not see it -- it was not there!

Thanks

Isn't it amazing how a few idiots can screw up a good time for so many? If my kids fell off the Viking ship I would be on thier but for doing something stupid not suing Disney.:shrug:
Remember the good old days when you did someting dangerous or stupid and got hurt, your parents yelled at you all the way to the hospital:ROFLOL:
Nowdays the ambulance has to make a stop at a law office to start the paperwork

There was also the fact that the ship was made entirely of CCA treated lumber which was removed from all but marine use and was outright banned for playground use in 2004.
