First Complete Look at Prince Eric’s Castle

This is the Prince Eric’s Castle in the New Fantasyland [Magic Kingdom], which tops off the Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid attraction.

Here’s the first complete look at Prince Eric’s abode.

 It uses the forced perspective technique for which WDI is famous to make the structure appear much larger in size than it is in reality.

Forced perspective, which has been used since Walt Disney oversaw the construction of Disneyland park in the 1950s, is sort of an optical illusion that uses architectural scale to “trick” the eye into believing a building towers above you, when it’s really not as tall as you’d think.

Maelstrom attraction at Norway Pavilion at Epcot under Construction

On this day back in 1988, the trolls of the Maelstrom attraction at Norway Pavilion at Epcot began shouting “Disappear! Disappear!” to guests traveling nearby. These are a rare look into the attraction while still under construction on July 15, 1987.

Although the Norway pavilion opened in May 1988, it wasn’t until July 5 when Maelstrom had its official opening.

Originally called SeaVenture, as shown above in the construction photo from March 1988, the Maelstrom still takes guests on an incredible voyage through the past, present and mythological world of Norway.
