maelstrom w/ a toddler?

[camdensmom]

I remember a little hill, but don't remember a height requirement. Any info?

My little guy rode it the first time at 12 months and he's ridden it on every trip since. (He's been 6 times now at age 4.) There's no requirement of any kind for this ride.

Back when my yongest daughter was about 3, we put lifts in her shoes and her hair up in a bun. If I remember correctly she got on most of the rides...

well it's a idea anyway. Best of Luck to ya....

There's no height requirement. I plan on taking my 2 year old on it!

No height requirement that I remember, but my 2 year old didn't like it much, it was loud. She's fearless, in general, but did not like the dark rides in the World. She didn't even like the thunder on the Land ride.

no requirement! our kids were 22 months and 11months and they both liked it just fine we skipped the video at the end though!

I took my 2½ & 4-year-old sons on Maelstrom and they loved it. In fact, we went during Illuminations and rode the ride 4x in a row (we just skipped the film at the end). The CMs were laughing by the 3rd time but there was literally no one else there! It was fun.

Malestrom does not have a height requirement, but my 6yr old niece found it rather scary! It is rather dark at first, and the viking with the eye that lights up didn't help much. When we got off she said that she was never going on again!

are you kidding?! That is so funny!!

If I remember the correctly Maelstrom had some freaky trolls popping out of the water and a huge anorexic looking Polar bear roaring down from his hind legs...THAT to me is more of an issue than the hills and such!! That troll guy freaked me out!!

DS has ridden this many times since his first trip at 13mos, and loves it. On our last trip we went on it several times and one of the last times, we were getting ready to exit the boat and ds was saying "Disappear, Disappear!" and the cm was laughing and saying something like "you've never been on this before, have you?"

would you say the "hill" is about the size of the one in POC? Bigger? Smaller? Just wondering.

I thought it had an age limit but last September we went on it with our 3 year old and 14 month old and everyone had a great time.

My son was 14 months old when he rode it. He was fine on it.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I have absolutely no idea what maelstrom is. Where is it?

Maelstrom is the ride in Norway at Epcot. It is a short, fairly tame, water ride in a Viking ship. We love this ride!
