Epcot - Attraction Idea for World Showcase

So, I have been thinking, Epcot is always spoken upon, how the world showcase is lacking rides. I was thinking maybe its something not to be seen above, but for underground ( if possible ). The ride would be underground, along the lines of how the pirates of the Caribbean are. The attraction, would sort of be like a subway in a sence ( more on this idea later on ).

The Ride
The ride itself would be underground like how pirates of the Caribbean is worked. The ride would pass through a miniature city of each country. When each country you are actually under the World Showcase place to. For example, Your riding in Paris, France. At that same moment you are also passing under the world showcase destination. This will lead me into my next idea.

The "subway"
Now, As I mentioned earlier, the ride wouldn't just be a "ride" It would be also a transportation system. If you want to get off at a certain country, there would be another track made. So one Express Line with no stops, and one regular line. The regular line would stop at every country, and you can take steps up, and Wa la! Your in the country!

The Scenery

Now, When I mean the city, I dont mean up close. I mean like a sky view. The ride would have almost feel like your flying ABOVE the city. Say your in China, You would see Maybe china as a map for example, if your at the certain point of the ride. It would be a continuous movie playing, But now at your face with the screen virtically, but on the ground, to make that feel your in the sky. The ride could feature maybe 3-D To make the buildings pop up in a sense. Each time on the ride, you would maybe be in a different scene of the show! If you were on the regular Line ;) ( see next article ) You would just pass through the country and maybe get a little smell of the food.

Express Line? The real scenery?
As mentioned before, the express line will be almost the same, with a few extra things. The express line would stop at each country, you would hear maybe a little about it, A little Fun fact, and of course a smell of the delicious food!

Thats my idea, What do you guys think?

I had this same idea except this one sounds better but a little harder.
Mine was one like the people mover, so now it is obviously above ground, and then from their on it was like yours. You stop at each country and can get off their but instead of being in it, you were above it and you were flying above it. Then for kids they could incorporate up with Carl and Russel flying with you. Still mine is also a little far fetched.

That would be cool to smell the food from each country. I also think that walking through each country can be a hassle, I still love walking through them and seeing just how beautiful each country's highlight is, but when I'm tired I get dehydrated a lot easier so my blood sugar drops and I get very irritated. (This is sadly true for me in Disney, it's mainly just to the people though, they really get on my nerves) Also I get heel problems in my foot and sometimes I have this weird back problem where walking around all day causes my back to hurt. I think that the friendship boats aren't the best idea either. I think they only go to two locations two so they are also an inconvenience to me also. I like this idea more for that it sounds incredibly fun to me, both of them, and I can also just be a lazy person.:shrug:

Sorry to burst your bubble, but because of Florida's high water table I don't think it would be possible to build underground. Neat concept though.

I like the idea but instead of stopping at every country It could be at 3 of them. The 2 end ones and the middle one. If it stopped at every country would be to many "stop and go's" it would take to long. I like the idea but needs some revising :sohappy:

I like this idea but maybe do it in a style similar to the TTA at MK. Or, maybe utilize a new Personal Rapid Transit style, where the riders could choose where they wanted to stop. Essentially, there would be an elevated rail or maybe a water level rail that would have a stop at each country in World Showcase as well as a bypass so the cars could go around them. The cars themselves would be small with large glass bubbles, or maybe even open-air and only hold 2-4 people.
