  O, Canada!
 
 
There are a couple of drops here (one backwards!) but neither is very steep nor long. There are a few scenes with menacing trolls, but they aren't very frightening (you might even say they're kind of cute!).
With the exception of the two short drops, the ride is nice and slow.
There are lots of wonderful effects here, from the gleaming eye beckoning you up the first climb to the stunning deep sea oil rig in the chilly North Atlantic. And don't forget those trolls...
There aren't really any problems here since the ride is mostly slow and relaxing. The drops themselves are fairly gentle.
Maelstrom is by far the most popular attraction in World Showcase. FastPass is recommended if lines are lengthy, be sure to check out the Touring Tips for suggestions on minimizing your wait time for Maelstrom.
The attraction itself lasts about 4 1/2 minutes. If you would like to enjoy the movie, it runs for an additional 5 minutes. Depending on your timing, you may have to wait a few minutes for the previous show to finish before you enter the theater, so at the most the entire experience will last about 15 minutes. Keep in mind that you are free to bypass the movie once the theater doors open (though do try to see it at least once—Norway is a beautiful country!).
 
  Maelstrom is flume ride with a few not-so-bad drops. While the ride is relatively short, it does boast some wonderful visual effects. The five minute film on Norway that follows is a breathtaking overview of this beautiful country.
