Your first glimpse of the Norway showcase is that of a striking wooden structure. This stavkirke, or Stave Church, is styled after Col Church of Hallingdai, built around 1250 A.D. It houses an exhibit of Norse artifacts. Forming a backdrop for the showcase and a romantic exterior for the restaurant is a Norwegian castle, which was styled after Akershus, a 14th-century fortress that stands in the heart of Oslo's harbor. Gift shops and a tourism information center are located in quaint houses with reddish-brown roofing tiles typical of homes found in Bergen and other coastal areas.
Maelstrom
Not unlike the El Rio del Tiempo in Mexico, the Maelstom is a ride through the time and history of Norway. Along with a look at the culture of Norway, you get to experience the stormy seas of the North Atlantic and might possibly spot a troll or two. The ride is only ten minutes long, but expect slow lines.
