A Ship Pillaging

12/9/08 Epcot’s Norway pavilion will soon be experiencing a fairly noticeable cosmetic change. Construction Permits have been filed to demolish the Viking Ship that is somewhat prominently displayed at the pavilion. The structure, formerly of play structure use, has recently been used mostly as a photo back-drop. The construction permits have been filed with the Description of Property of, “Epcot Norway Viking Ship” and the Description of Improvements as, “Demo Viking ship, salvage props, safety deck material, back fill included electrical.” The schedule for this project is not clear at this time.
