EPCOT Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

[RSoxNo1]

First thing on my rumor tracker was Inside the Magic back in 2011, then Lee posting the concept art in 2014.

Now all they need is a flock of blue birds on it

Ya know, for the folks watching Illuminations from the top of Riviera, he'll be a constant outline in their field of view.

Looks legit - size seems about right for a forced perspective version of the original.

If this is correct then it suggests to me that they are getting the prepwork for starting - and that they should be ready to break ground at any point. Does that sound correct?

I can imagine it taking two years to completion from here.

I would LOVE to see a Brazil Pavilion.

Apparently, when you're building a new pavilion, you start by building from top down.

Too much political turmoil in Brazil. I doubt it this will happen anytime soon. Now, an India Pavilion would be a wonderful sight to see.

India has much political turmoil as well, btw.

Good thing the pavilion has nothing to do with Brazilian government.

True, but WDW cares too much about bad PR, and this could bring it.

Bad PR like having a Communist country with a brutal autocratic regime as a national pavilion?

And besides Canada, there's also China.

Well, word is Brazil has been greenlit.

I could say it again but I’d just get shouted down.

There is also yellow, blue and some white.

I don't mean to be that guy... but surely there are more people other than Disney that would be asking for a statue of that.
This isn't to say Brazil isn't happening; I know that it is and that it's greenlit. It's just that I could see there being a more reasonable explanation for this than "Disney ordered this statue for a land that won't be completed for 3 years"

Yeah according to the Twitter that posted it the picture is for a Spanish prop making company that builds things for many US clients. Thought it was worth posting though.

Didn't mean to say it wasn't worth posting, sorry! Just thought I'd add my own two-cents; still a possibility it is for Epcot! None of us will know until it's installed, or Martin tells us
