Never meant there weren’t. I just meant the pavilion needs to promote tourism (which is spurred on by showcasing history, culture, food, modern cities, and wild landscapes). Not just The Lion King book report ride.
All of the country videos are tourism board advertisements.
Go watch the brand new Canada Far and Wide video. It’s literally an advertisement for visiting, with the voices of the Schitt’s Creek parents.
The point of the pavilions is to be a living Tourism board. They are all set up for “Visit Us” campaigns, videos, rides, etc. I am all for an African pavilion, but it needs to connect Americans to future travel.
Does WDI employ storytellers anymore? Or are they mostly rock designers and civil engineers? If WDI hasn’t come up with an original thought in decades (?) that may mean that they no longer seek original artistic talent. Not saying they can’t, but if that’s not the job, it might not be their...
Star Tours could easily become a Wakanda ride. You walk through the town (inside, outside and even a Savanna-clay based gift shop to hide their technology), then board one of their ships with Iron Heart piloting and Shuri on the screen giving pre-flight advice.
I wish they offered a way to design a car on the MDE app, then it uploads to your band. I could spend hours designing a car. (Yes, I realize there’s a post ride kiosk in the Chevy car show gallery).
Frozen in Norway is fine. My issue is the book report ride. Maelstrom was better, as a view into Norway’s history and present. I wish Frozen used their characters to tell a similar story about Norway. I’ve been to Norway, it’s an incredible place with a rich history.
I’m just concerned that a new Indy ride might make Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs too popular. It’s always been a hidden gem to us. Never a line (granted I go off season).
