Norweigan Log Ride

[ransam]

ok, got a question...what do you guys think of this ride? I like it, not in love w/it, but it's cool...my sister LOVES it....but my friend just hates it...it's his least favorite ride in the park.....we actually make jokes about it.
I just want to know what the majority think of it?

You are talking about Maelstrom??? It's OK, nothing special... I enjoy it... I ride it every trip... But, IMHO, the rides needs a major refurbishment or replacement...

The real question should be, who actually stays and watches the movie after the boat ride???

[dmosher]

I love this ride, nice and relaxing but fun. Always funny to see who has not been on it, when they start freaking out going backwards too.!

We usually do stay for the movie, since the update, its pretty good!

We ride it everytime we go, its fun...even though we have been on it several times I still cringe when we go backwards which makes my family laugh. We've only watch the movie twice....usually we head out afterwards.

We like it and ride it every time, but it;s not a "don't miss". We just happen to not miss it, but I think it is more appealing because it is in an are where there aren't many rides.

We HAVE to ride this every trip, multiple times. It is just something about my family and boat rides but this was actually our favorite ride at Epcot (tied with SE) before Test Track and Soarin'

Considering that World Showcase only has 2 rides, I think the Maelstrom is pretty decent... it's a boat dark-ride with anamtronics - isn't that what Disney does best? I just wish that there were more rides in the countries...

Ds5 loves this ride ( I like it too). He makes us go on it over and over and over... When we were there in nov. they were not showing the movie.

I think it's a nice break from the heat. I enjoy the boat rides.

[TheVBs]

We like it. It's a fun, easy going ride with just a little bit of excitement. Definitely not a must do for us, but we like it. We've never stayed for the movie.

[Stu29573]

We like it. I've always wished it were longer, but I guess the movie counts as part of it. We watched the movie last tile and it was actually pretty good...

[Dickson Thunder]

My daughter loves this ride and I like it too. We have to ride it at least twice every trip to EPCOT. After Soarin and Test Track it's our third favorite ride there.

"You are not the first to pass, nor will you be the last."
A word of caution that we must hear on every trip. Only if we need extra cool-off time do we stay for the movie.

[HoosierDisneyFan]

This ride is good for first timers but loses something on repeated trips.

Generally not worth the wait but I have had been able to get a Fastpass and come back later. That is the way to go.

I do not mind the movie but hate waiting after the ride portion for the for the movie before our group to end. Should be able to by pass the movie at this point and exit.

[DVC2004]

It's fun, but we skip the movie at the end. I love the trolls and the disproportionate polar bear.

[MickeysEars]

I ride it, a lot, and I watch the movie. Love this attraction

i think you can skip the movie, can't you?

[kaerbear178]

We like it and it would be on our list to do each trip. I saw the movie the first time, but not sure that I would watch it again.

Fun and relaxing but not crazy about it

[AmandaChan]

We always love it. It's so relaxing and cooling. I like the colors and I like the little hills here and there.
