World Showcase will not be seeing an African nation addition anytime in the near future because of two factors:
1. There isn't any one single African nation that has enough money to support such a costly addition and there aren't any African nations that truely have a stable enough government that Disney could rely upon to help maintain and be part of such a pavillion. (this excludes Egypt which is technically part of the African continent but obviously has a muslim culture)
2. Harambe in the Animal Kingdom more than strongly represents the non-muslim Africa way beyond the representations of nations in world showcase. This African village is a fantastic representation of Africa and thus because of #1 there is no immediate need for an African nation to world showcase.
Nations that are a possible addition:
Russia--- no representation of an Eastern Orthodox and cyrilic nation yet, plus the great architecture and distinct culture, large population
Greece--- pretty much the same reasons as Russia with the exception of large population but has ancient culture status
Egypt--- distinct ancient culture status, distinct architecture, but because of the war on terrorism and Morocco already representing the muslim culture probably not likely
India--- in my opinion one of the leading possibilities because it has a distinct and ancient culture, it has a distinct architectural style, the second largest population in the world, and there is a large Indian presence within the American population
Spain--- a distinct and contrasting culture to that of Mexico, had a major impact upon Florida's history itself, and has a unique culture and architecture
Australia--- hey it represents a whole continent, but because of Canada and the UK, an English background is probably already well enough represented
Brazil--- an outside chance because it has many financial difficulties, but it has a large visitor basis to WDW and is very unique because of the Amazon, the jungle forrest possibilities, and has the largest population in South America---a continent that is not represented yet
Switzerland--- enough money(that's for sure), unique possible tie-in with the Matterhorn, great chocolate :lol: , the Alps, but it has a small population
Well these are the ones most likely and ones that I would think would be a great addition and would give Epcot and World Showcase a new lift and all of us a new wonderful culture to explore and enjoy!

in my opinion epcot needs some good rides that dont brake down every 2 seconds and some stuff in the back cause i barely ever walk around to where all the diff countries are since im not that big of a fan of having a history lesson during my vacation

What cymbaldiva? We learn at Epcot!?I was having too much fun to realize that we are also learning something while there! :animwink:
Look at M:S. That ride has tons of atmosphere just looking at the building. It has thrills and stuff for the little ones.

Epcot was made for technology, science, and world traveling. Don't get it confused with Disney Studios; I think adding anything that has to do with a classic (or non-classic) movie would ruin Epcot's atmosphere. It's a park unlike any other at WDW, and personally, I think it's held to a higher standard than the other parks.
It need not be "fixed," as you put it.
I think thrill rides may be pushing that formula a bit, but I won't complain, because they bring in the people.
As for additions, I think WS needs an Austraila pavilion. Yes, there could be a ride based on the history, maybe even housed in the famous opera house (?) that everyone has seen a picture of.
Also, I wouldn't mind a Brazil Pavilion. I'm sure they could add something worthwhile to WS.
