Both. And neither.

Ah yes, Shrodinger's pavilion expansion.
Some think it's alive.
Others think it's dead.
The real answer is: both.
It's both greenlit and ungreenlit until observed by a hundred million dollars.

At this rate: We should place our bets when they will tell us what is being built.

I don’t know much when it comes to building a theme park, but I bet they are going to wish they had a “B” or a “C” to offset Rat when it opens here in a few...

i think the poppins experience could be built in time for Epcot 40th anniversary especialy if it is not a big ride.

In theory, Frozen should offset Rat (not necessarily in popularity) but as far as proximity in World Showcase. Should help spread some of the crowds.

Was just thinking since we have 2 major attractions in World Showcase. Both on opposite sides of the lagoon. What is the middle going to be like? Shouldn’t there be a major ride in the middle to balance it out?

Imagine if Germany and Japan had been built out as originally planned!! WS would be VERY balanced!!

IP or no IP...they need something.
Cherry Tree Lane isn’t going to be able to offset crowds if it’s not open. Even if it’s open that middle is a hole with no major attractions.

There's the American Adventure, which is nominally a major attraction. It obviously doesn't get the type of crowds required, though.

@RSoxNo1 said relocating It’s A Small World since would be a win

If we demand IPs, then my vote is a simulator tour of Ghibli's film locales on a Catbus in Japan.

Small World to Epcot is a good idea. Here's an idea....
Step 1: gut Imagination and turn it into a "Unity" Pavilion. Put IASW in the Imagination show building. Also, reroute the Soarin queue so that Soarin is part of this Pavilion (I think this is a Grassey idea). Use the theater for a Zootopia show that celebrates the progress that we have made in diversity. This would be a great pavilion for "World Celebration"
Step 2: Expand the "Play" pavilion to a "Imagination and Play" Pavilion. Build a new Figment ride with Dreamfinder off the back of the Play pavilion.
Step 3: Tear out the IASW load building to widen the walkway. Use the IASW show building as queue and load for two attractions: A tangled ride and a second attraction. Build the show buildings for these attractions behind (to the north) the current IASW show building.
Sorry for going on an armchair rant.

That’s a great idea, but the kid gloves that Disney would have to use when dealing with the word “diversity” would be ridiculous - which I hate, thinking that we have become less willing to talk about unity over the years.
...and, if they aren’t going to spring for a proper Mary Poppins dark ride? It doesn’t seem likely that they’ll do so much work for place making.

I thought everyone was joking about moving small world.
I’m no Epcot defender but that’s an awful idea. I know it would never happen but can you imagine the backlash.

Why would there be backlash if it was moved, not removed...? think it sets a lovely preamble to World Showcase...and would open up room for another attraction or two in the Kingdom...Imagine an expanded longer version of Peter Pan's flight... It could happen with more space... A Tangled attraction instead of just restrooms? It could happen if Small World moved...
It actually makes much more sense to have a Worlds Fair attraction in a park that was sort of a clone of a World's Fair...
