The Norway ride was one of my favorite parts of Walt Disney World's Epcot park. There was just something so great about it's randomness, trolls, waterfalls and polar bears. I filmed this before I left Orlando and I am glad I did. At the time of filming this I did not know it was going to be replaced by A Frozen Themed ride. 

Farewell my good friend Maelstrom. I will never forget you! This episode is dedicated just to you my old friend. Thanks for the memories.

Maelstrom
Epcot
More info.
Maelstrom was a dark ride attraction located in the Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, the ride opened on July 5, 1988, in the Norway pavilion of the World Showcase section of the park. It was a mix between a log chute and a traditional film attraction. Visitors rode boats patterned after Viking ships that passed through various scenes that featured audio-animatronic figures.

On September 12, 2014, it was announced that the ride would be replaced by an attraction based on Disney's animated film Frozen, scheduled to open in early 2016 Maelstrom's final day of operation was October 5, 2014.
