Due to the popularity and immediate fan base Frozen drew, plans to add the "Frozen Ever After" attraction to the Norway pavilion were set with a very short construction time, this is a major reason why the attraction will so closely resemble the "Maelstrom" attraction previously in its place. Frozen Ever After, which opened in 2016, features the same ride vehicles and basic course of the original attraction, but with scenes inspired by the film and the Frozen Fever animated short. ![]() ![]() In September 2014, Disney officials announced that the Maelstrom attraction would be closed and renovated into a new attraction based upon the company's hit animated film, Frozen. Renewed in 1997 for a further 5 years, the government stopped payments in 2002, against the recommendations from their American embassy. The federal government continued to contribute US$200,000 annually for five years to help fund the exhibit. Since nearly as many people visit Epcot as live in Norway, the government felt it still was a good promotional tool for their tourism industry. In 1992, the investors sold their stake to Disney. Disney contributed the other one-third of the construction cost. Three countries were consulted, but it finally ended up with investors from Norway raising the US$30 million required to create an exclusive national pavilion. The original idea was to create a Nordic Pavilion that would combine elements from various countries into one exhibit. It soft-opened on May 6, 1988, but the grand opening did not occur until a month later, when Harald V of Norway (then Crown Prince) dedicated the pavilion in a ceremony that was broadcast live to Norway. The Norway Pavilion is the most recent nation to be added to World Showcase. Formerly a children's play area, the structure was removed in December 2008. One former exhibit was a full-scale Viking ship, inspired by the famous Oseberg ship. The courtyard contains the entrance to Restaurant Akershus, featuring a hot and cold buffet and "Princess Storybook Dining." Kringla Bakeri og Kafé is a bakery, featuring assorted Norwegian pastries, such as cream horns and open-faced salmon sandwiches. ![]() The courtyard of the pavilion contains the entrance to Frozen Ever After. These shops are decorated with large wooden trolls and sell assorted Norwegian goods, including clothing, candy, and statuettes of Norse gods and trolls. Much of the pavilion is taken up by interconnected shops. The exhibit showcases 4 styles of Norwegian architecture: Setesdal-style, Bergen-style, Oslo-style and Ålesund-style. The village includes a detailed reproduction Stave church, with a statue of Olaf II Haraldsson out front, and the exterior of its main table-service restaurant, Restaurant Akershus, resembles its namesake in Oslo. The 58,000-square-foot (5,400 m 2) Norway Pavilion is designed to look like a Norwegian village. Its location is between the Mexico and China pavilions. The Norway Pavilion is a Norwegian-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, United States.
