I love the maelstrom and I ride it every time I go to Epcot. Norway also has Akershus. mmm.

I rode it when I was like nine or ten and all I remember is I was afraid of the three headed troll and falling down a giant waterfall. I also remember the polar bears which were cool. :)

sure it is considerably small a short for a Disney ride.
I rode it recently and actually remember it being a bit longer when I was younger...

Am I imagining things or did they actually shorten it?

I think it depends if you watch the video after you get off the boat. I never have watched that movie for a few different reasons, and never really thought the ride was too short. It's probably the shortest ride at Epcot, but I've been on plenty shorter.

All in all, Norway is a decent land. I like the Maelstrom ride, although its ending is rather weak. The Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is a great place to eat and the shops are neat. I would definately rather spend time in Norway than in Italy, Mexico, Canada (Le Cellier excluded from that statement), or America. I have no real desire to visit America while in America (or Californina while in California).
