I'd like all of the pavilions to have an attraction, not just a movie or restaurant.

A Wakanda Attraction? Whoopi says yes

- Start date
Why? Think of all the wonderful office furniture those trees could be made into for Disney suits!

If Disney could do a Black Panther attraction. Some of the technology has been already used, like the "Hologram of Rey" or a kinda coaster / Journey to Imagination ride base. Even the original Journey projection system and the one for Horizons. I think a hybrid of the proposed Mt Fuji attractions could work.
Well, they could just put a new enclosed coaster attraction behind it... it's been done before...

They could have cloned the Pinocchio dark ride in Italy years ago if they were interested in putting something there

after they built Via Napoli back there, its shot for an attraction went away for good. Not that there isnt a little room left back there but that restaurant would have to go, and thats not happening.

Me too, just not all based on cartoon characters.

There's a story treatment with Wakanda and Black Panther that could work in DAK, but it's probably the worst fit of the 4 parks.
Is it too late to scrap PLAY! and make it a Technology Pavilion with host nation Wakanda?

I could see them sticking it in AK because once GotG and TRON open, it will be the park that has gone the longest without a new ride and they may want something besides Pandora to promote it.
Yes I know the park has other, better ideas for new attractions, but I could see Disney forcing Wakanda into it.

Honestly, I would rather it be in Future World. I also think that EPCOT will still be in need of attractions even after Guardians and Ratatouille open.

Future world isn’t a bad idea, but equatorial Africa is better suited and in more need.

No. World Showcase needs to remain based on the idealized version of the real world with real world countries being represented. Future World has had an element of realistic fantasy since the beginning. Wakanda may be a step beyond "realistic fantasy" but it's still better suited for Future World.

Wakanda would not represent equatorial Africa. It's a fictional country with sci-fi technology.
I already said it above, but I think it would lead to absolutely terrible PR for Disney. Instead of adding a real country in Africa you're putting in something completely fake that you own and leaving actual sub-Saharan Africa without representation?

I love Black Panther, but Wakanda is a fictional place. It doesn’t belong in World Showcase or in DAK. IMHO, placing a Wakanda attraction in either of those locations would not only be thematically inappropriate but rude towards the real Africa.
Now, an attraction hosted by Shuri looking at futuristic technology to inspire and play with? That would be something exciting for Future World.

Retheme Pandora and it’s attractions to Wakanda. Makes total sense. And it’s connected to Africa!

Italy is the worst pavilion, It needs something.

I regret that somehow someone did their measurements incorrectly and therefore we never got Meet the World here. It would have been a neat attraction and another catchy song added to EPCOT Center’s already long list.
