    Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom?

    As I have worked at Maelstrom I can say our hourly numbers are about 1000 persons per hour. The number is usually between 900-1050. This all depends on whos Grouping, Guest size, wheelchairs, how stupid the guests are etc... For the rumor someone said about the whole pavilion going down, this...

    Out with the Vikings, in with princess

    So three days ago the Stave church at Norway in Epcot got closed down and all signs of there being a viking exhibit in there is now gone. It seems like Disney is putting the Princess Anna from Frozen into the stavechurch instead of the gift shop. This means the end of the authentic Norwegian...

    Frozen's opening title song.

    This can not be the opening song... Its just two Norwegian songs mixed together. Dont think they will buy copyrights for that Norwegian christmas song.... The song is "Deilig er jorden"/"Fairest Lord Jesus"... And yes, Frozen is set to be in Norway now. It was a Scandinavia theme to it first...

    Maelstrom refurbished!

    I went to the bottom of this rumor about the "tesla coil", and there has never been a tesla coil inside Maelstrom. The only thing they did was to check it out, but there was no way to make it work without electrocuting the Guests so it was never installed. Ive been up in the rooms above...

    Maelstrom refurbished!

    I know I probably were a bit to enthusiastic about this whole small refurb... But after spending severeal weeks on this forum reading about all the tragic state WDW is in, I had given up on this company and thought that nothing will ever be maintained and fixed like ever, especially not...

    Malestrom Effects

    Its so sad that they cant maintain this ride as it should be. Also remember the one effect that is planned, built but never turned on. After the polar bears and you hear the sea sounds, the boat is suppose to wiggle for a while while in motion. They have the hardware there, if you look after...

    Maelstrom Audio Changes/Restoration

    Hey, done some research now and found some of the script from Maelstrom. Some articles from Norway did have the lines in them, and one of them say that it is "will always be adventure". Its hard to hear, but I feel like its right... (I do this ride atleast once a day if not more.) As for the...

    Maelstrom Audio Changes/Restoration

    Alot of this information is wrong! - name of the movie: Spirit of Norway not Norway the film - 4 rows not 5. They can take 15 passengers. - some errors in the dialogs. Norways spirit has always been, will always be adventure.

    Maelstrom Audio Changes/Restoration

    They did fix the missing audio in the viking village! I discovered it some weeks ago too.... Its original and I last heard it in a movie from 1990. Its: "Long ago, Norway was a land of the vikings, that was the beginning of our love for the sea." They also improved the audio from the people...

    Name tags.

    There is a place Downtown Disney that sold nametags that were just like the CM´s some years ago, I remember because I was at work and someone came in with nametags and no costume and I was like "where do you work at?" They said they were Guests and I asked where they got that nametag from... I...
