What’s missing from the Norway attraction?

Past visitors may remember a historical attraction - The Viking Ship Replica - which was removed in the 2000’s.

It provided guests a chance to experience what it was like to live and sail on an authentic Viking ship. But it has since been removed, possibly due to safety concerns.
