Epcot in need of another country?

[Auroragirl]

Do you think Epcot is in need of another country in World Showcase?

A few recommendations I could think of would be Australia, New Zealand, maybe a South American Country. I would like to see a new country just for the new foods, gift shops and possible attraction....

Any ideas/news/thoughts/etc...?
:wave:

Yep, WS needs a new draw...The last Pav. was Norway in 1988-21 year ago.


Any and all of the countries you mentioned would be great, IMHO.

 

[Auroragirl]

21 years ago?!?!?! :veryconfu Had no idea.

:shrug: Any one know what they haven't tried in putting a new country in WS?

 

[SirGoofy]

Because they're cheap. End of story.

They have the room and the plans. Various new Pavilions have been drawn up and even "announced" as coming soon.


Do a search for "World Showcase Expansion" here or even on google. You are bound to find a slew of information.:wave:

That too!:lol:

Needs another country? In all honesty no. The area is, in all actuality, doing fine as it is (which is why nothing has been done to it for 20+ years now).

In order to plus WS and Epcot however, yes another pavilion would be lovely. However, at this point, I'd be happy with a new attraction going into one of the existing pavilions (i.e. Italy, Germany, etc.). That would help liven the area up again.

Freedonia could be added. :shrug:

But pulsing, like building Maelstrom as originally intended or lengthening it, or adding new shows/rides would be nice. Just keep the Disney characters out (unless it's Bernard and Bianca or Mr. Toad in U.K.).

Russia, we could do with a vodka stall, and an attraction based on the dramas that made up Russian history, with a bit of organised crime and eco disaster thrown in.

Sure they have the room, but exactly WHERE would it go? There doesn't really seem to be the space around the path for a new country to get a respectable front facade like the other countries.

Im sure theres a few images around with the plots clearly marked, next ti germany springs to mind

I think they should just put in more rides or attractions in the countries that are already there.

 

[Gig 'Em Mickey]

I'll say it just to please everyone here. Let's add a Brazil pavilion!

 

[bgraham34]

I don't know if they need a new country. Would I love to see one, most definitely. What they really need is new rides in the existing countries. I would not be surprised if Dubai wanted to go into there though.

 

[PattyBell]

I think they should try new ones...maybe one from Brazil...

Russia is my #1 choice or possibly Spain or Belgium. Although South America isn't represented at all (Mexico is part of North America). Possibly Brazil or Argentina would be cool too.

The thing is, you want a culture that's different than what you currently have. The South American countries all have similar cultures (with that Native mixed with Spanish flavor, although Brazil is a bit different). So it's hard to really add a new one when you have Mexico. Spain is very similar to France, Italy, and in some ways Mexico. Belgium is kind of similar to Germany. That's why I go with Russia. Plus Vodka galore, lol.

I was told on the seven hour tour which name escapes me at the moment that there is room for up to 7 more countries. I don't know about that but after looking closely I'd say there is room for at least 5 new countries.

I think India would be a nice addition. They could model the look off of Slumdog Millionaire and have starving children beg everyone for money as they pass through. Kinda like a despressing IASW

Or maybe Iraq, that would be interesting

Or instead of a country what about the Island from Lost? That would be really cool.

But seriously, I think Australia would be the best option

I would like to see another country. Greece would be great. However, I have to agree with those that say we don't need another country. What we need is to further develop those that we have.

 

[lpet11984]

I'd love to see a new country or two in WS. Russia would be very cool, as would Australia, Greece, Thailand, or Brazil. Unfortunately every time I think of Brazil, I think of the huge teen tour groups, but I can put that negativity aside for a new pavilion.

egypt would be amazing esp in illumiNations.!!!
