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.
