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

[MisterPenguin]

Note than half the pavilions already have attractions, France will now have *two* with the addition of Rat...

Mexico - Three Cabs
Norway - Frozen
China - Circlevision
US - American Adventure
France - Rat & Circlevision
Canada - Circlevision

That’s 6 out of 11 of the pavilions that already have attractions. It looks more like you’re advocating *every* pavilion have a *ride*, not an attraction.

Umm, actually... France will have 3 attractions.

Plus Morocco has a museum.

France will have 3, with IDF and Beauty and the Beast rotating.

Edit: Dang it MisterPenguin beat me two it.

Why?

Me thinks there is a bit of trolling going on...

There are other religious buildings in World Showcase.

True.

But I never thought Disney would replicate the statue into the parks.

If the sponsors of Brazil are willing to pay for a ride, I don't see WDW saying no

Oh, I'm almost forgot the people paying the bill. Is any new clue about who'd be the sponsor?

 

[marni1971]

Money. Disney can sell more merchandise if countries have characters. Plus really little kids are more likely to enjoy themselves in Epcot.

Really little kids have Fantasyland.

Not that it matters anymore.

We need to make sure that every park only has things for kids. I believe it was Walt Disney who said, "You're dead if you don't aim only for kids. "

Good one! Had to read that twice.

Edit: at first I thought the errant placement of the "only" was an intentional joke, an ironic spin on Walt's maxim.

That’s why they invented Kidcot. Amongst other things.

 

[TeriofTerror]

Each park has to be made with Adults, Teens and Kids in mind. There's a reason why Magic Kingdom is seen as the best park. It has something for everyone.



LOL, not quite.

"We believed in our idea. A family park where parents and children could have fun together."

Did you just feel a strong breeze directly above your head?

I will say Disney is obviously aware of trying to keep showcase from looking like fantasyland. Look at Frozen Ever After for example, other than that one sign above the doors you wouldn’t even notice anything frozen in the pavilion. Same for the Anna / Elsa meet and greet. Or take ratatouille for example, they are building the entire attraction and signage hidden BEHIND the pavilion! I’m all for calling them out when they do something dumb, but I’ll atleast give them credit when I see the effort.

The Vikings walking around in the front of the Norway Pavilion kinda undermines that effort. Plus they’ve gone with the stereotypical horned helmet, to perpetuate that kids’ myth about them.

If they do open a Brazil pavilion, it will probably be in phases. They seem to be doing that a lot lately.

Phase One

quick service
table service
store

Phase Two

ride
snack location

They haven’t opened a pavilion recently..... and we’re still waiting for phase 2 of Japan and Germany.

Unless you mean RotR? But that’s one example. Hardly “a lot”!

I tend to visit Norway once or twice a year, and I have to say that they also play up that kind of viking imagery.

Amazing country, by the way!

Sad to think how many of those trees are going to have to come out if that is indeed the location of the Brazil pavilion.

And just north of the landscape holding area, what is that steel structure that appears to connect the two buildings on either side?

It normally has a fabric (?) roof over it for private events. The roof comes off every so often so this isn't a signal that anything is about to start.

Model train replacement?
