I liked Maelstrom, it was fun. What do you mean they can do better? Its pretty good for a boat ride. It has animatronics, some pretty sweet effects. I don't see it as a bad ride at all. Now if Disney went all out on that paticular ride, they'd have to spend much more time, and lots more money. They can always do better if they have the time and money, but it was not there goal to make an amazing attraction that stood out from all the other pavilions.
It almost sounds as if you think this ride ruined your most of your experience at epcot. They created most of the rides at epcot when it opened back in 1982, and back then this was considered high tech stuff. Even today I'm a bit astounded as how some of the ride works.
I'm a bit confused why a bad ride in your opinion makes that pavilion the worst. Get all that new stuff, like DCA, and the new stuff at DLR out of your mind when you go into the world showcase, or epcot. Most of the stuff there is 25 years old.
