/* Attraction History */
Maelstrom was an attraction located within the [[Norway]] pavilion in [[Epcot]].
==Attraction History==
When an attraction for the Norway pavilion was originally being developed, Imagineers wanted to give the pavilion EPCOT Center’s first thrill ride. Named “SeaVenture”, Norway’s attraction would take guests through a 946 ft. flume ride <Ref name= "Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?tag=norway-pavilion </ref>. Along their journey, guests would encounter mythical creatures such as trolls and gnomes as they searched for the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla <ref name= "Martin"/>. The attraction’s thrill was to come from a new ride system, developed by Imagineer Dave Van Wyck<ref name= "book"/>, which allowed Imagineers to reverse the direction of the boat during the ride <ref name= "Martin"/>. Furthermore, during the development of SeaVenture, the Sherman Brothers were called in to create a song for the attraction, although this was never used. According to Imagineer Pail Paul Torrigino:
{{Quotation| "Bob and Randy were talking about getting the Sherman brothers to write a song for it, and one day they got them to come in for a meeting at the model. I was really excited to meet them and we explained the ride concept to them. They were very interested and were ready to go off and write a song." <ref name= "mouseplanet"> https://www.mouseplanet.com/7131/Walt_Disney_Worlds_Maelstrom_Part_1 </ref>}}
