Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
When you're finished riding Maelstrom in Norway, and be honest now....... when the doors open to the room with the Norway movie, do you walk all the way through and exit back to World Showcase, or do you actually stay and watch the movie? I'm always taking the former option.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
Depends on how I feel at the moment and if I have to be somewhere soon.
Actually, I've only done Maelstrom twice. It's too short and doesn't pack a whole lot of thrills.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
We race through. Past the trolls in the gift shop, too and out the door.
It's just not a trip without a ride on Maelstrom.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
Party Poopers!!
You have to stay and watch the movie, it's educational it's always good to be reminded how other people live around the world. It was intended as part of the attraction, and we sit and watch. (Okay, we walked through once as we had dinner ressies! )

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
If it's roasting hot . . . we stay and watch, it's a nice A/C break, plus the country is beautiful. My kids love the mini "splash" on the ride, so they'd rather walk through and go on the ride again.
In January we stayed and watched. Last few times we did not! |

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
Not only do I run through, but I don't even like the wait for the doors to open when you get off the ride to escape!

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
I walk through. I feel like it is a trap.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
I love the Maelstrom but I feel like once you've seen the movie a couple times there's no need to keep repeating it. We skip it now.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
We stay for the movie sometimes. Then I go and drool over the sweaters in the shop.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
We zoom through unless we are with someone who has never been before.

Re: Maelstrom.....Be Honest....
When we were in WDW in Dec., we stayed for the movies. My kids hated it and it's very dated. If they update it, I may be more inclined to stay.
