He attributed its strength to the phases of the Moon - the current being strongest at full and new moons and weakest at half moons. Petter Dass (1647-1707), a Norwegian priest, produced a detailed and realistic description of Moskstraumen, as well as other strong tidal currents, in his poem, The Trumpet of Nordland 6, written around 1685. Contemporary Norwegian authors gave more factual descriptions 5, 6, 7, 8. Subsequently, fictional descriptions of a huge eddy appeared, were reprinted, and cited in mainstream seventeenth and eighteenth century European geographical literature 1. On Charta Marina (1539) he drew a large eddy west of Lofoten, which he described as stronger than the Sicilian Charybdis, and attributed it to a divine force.
The first written account is probably by Olaus Magnus (1490-1558), a Swedish bishop in Rome 4. The term maelstrom is commonly thought to derive from the Dutch verb malen(Nordic male) meaning ‘to grind’. Their continuous grinding of salt is said to form large eddies in the sea above. They tell of a pair of ponderous and magical millstones which sank either near the Pentland Firth north of Scotland or on the northwestern coast of Norway.

Inside the stave church, King Olaf II had a small Mickey embroidered on his tunic, near his right thigh. Hidden in this painting was a Viking whose helmet had Mickey Mouse ears, and another figure wearing a Mickey Mouse watch. In the ride's loading area, a large painted mural included many people and elements from Norway's history. After passing very close to an oil rig, the ride came to an abrupt end in a calm harbor of a small village, where the narrator announced, "Norway's spirit has always been, and will always be adventure." As guests exited the ride, they had the option of watching a 5-minute tourism film, "The Spirit of Norway", which highlighted various attractions in Norway including skiing, hiking, and Kjerag mountain. Correctly oriented, the boats plunged forward down a 28-foot (8.5 m) flume into a stormy depiction of the North Sea. The backwards edge of the boat peeked out through the facade as the track pivoted to let the vehicle travel forward again. The boats floated briskly past scenes of Atlantic puffins, polar bears and living trees, before coming to a stop on the edge of another waterfall, exposing the Norway pavilion's main thoroughfare. The trolls, angered by the trespassing boat, cast a spell onto riders as the vehicle began to move backward rapidly, accelerated by hidden conveyor belts underneath the water's surface. Entering a marsh, the boat would come face to face with audio-animatronic depictions of a Nokken and a three-headed troll. Riders passed through scenes of seafarers and maritime villages depicting a mythological version of Norway's Viking days. A voice tells riders that "those who seek the spirit of Norway face peril and adventure, but more often find beauty and charm." Arriving at the top of the hill, a lit face of the Germanic god Odin hovered above. Riders departed from a dock traveling by boat, which turned a corner into a dark tunnel and up the flume's lift hill. įrozen Ever After opened on June 21, 2016. Maelstrom's final day of operation was October 5, 2014. On September 12, 2014, it was announced that the ride would be replaced by an attraction based on Disney's 2013 3D computer-animated musical film Frozen.
