If you could create a EPCOT Pavilion...

I'd create an Antarctica pavilion. You could have it either as part of the World Showcase, or as part of Future World (showcasing some of the science that goes on down there). Having been there, I'd be more than willing to assist in the design, construction and testing phase! :D
 

"El Gran Magnifico"

I'd be all in with a Swiss pavilion. Especially if they brought over some authentic Swiss coffee, a Sprungli store and signature restaurant similar to Zeughauskeller. I don't know what I would do if I could order "The Mayor's Sword" at Disney.

Here are my ideas for Egypt, Switzerland and Greece which I created for the Creator Games Competition.
Then we move to the first new World Showcase pavilion being Switzerland, which is going to be placed between Italy and Germany. This pavilion would bring the Matterhorn to the park, but the ride on the mountain will be different than the one in Anaheim. But before guests reach the mountain(192 feet tall), they have to walk through a typical Swiss village. You would first see a statue of Wilhelm Tell and his son in front of a stage where you can enjoy Swiss yodel and other national music performances.The village would be home to four shops: a clock and music shop(der verrückte Kuckucksuhr), a wood carving and crafts shop( Florian's Werkstatt), a candy and gourmet food store( Der süsse Angriff), and a clothing accessories boutique( Die schöne Jungfrau). Several house facades hide the 230-seat restaurant ( Der Steinbock)upstairs and an extended queue for the Matterhorn downstairs. A tourism center and VIP lounge are also part of the plans.
Then we will move on to the main part of Switzerland of course being Matterhorn Bobsleigh. Guests enter the queue of the ride via a small Swiss cottage. Here you find out that you have entered a Swiss Olympic bobsleigh training camp. You can see different artifacts, prizes and pictures related to the bobsleighs. You will enter an icy cave of the mountain where you can see small indoor waterfalls and climbing equipment. Then when you go outside you will enter another building which will be the station. Here you can board your bobsleigh( 3 people per bobsled) which is almost identical to the Anaheim ones. In the ride you will take the wrong way and so you go on the wrong training course. In the ride we will enter a glacier cavern, a crystal cavern and also go past audio animatronic scenes with for example an avalanche checker pulling herself up while the vehicle zips by or another bobsled with audio animatronics in it blocking the way. The ride will be both indoors and outdoors. It will end with audio animatronic coaches and fans cheering for the guests.

Then we go to Greece. It can be found in between France and Morocco. The pavilion will be themed to the style of Santorini. The pavilion will have a Sirtaki dance show, a big restaurant called Aíthousa tou Día, a smaller restaurant called Taverna Mykonos, a clothing shop called Aphrodita and a shop with small statues and glasses for example. This shop will be called Katásti̱ma Akrópoli̱. Hercules and Megara will be characters that you can meet and greet here. In the pavilion will also be a new attraction.

The attraction will be called thrýlous ti̱s Elláda or the Legends of Greece( 6 people per vehicle).The ride's queue will be inside a museum. In the museum you will be able to see several artifacts as a statue of Medusa's head, Hermes' shoes and Poseidon's trident. In the ride you will find out that the Gods have returned to Earth to show us the Greek history. They then bring the artifacts of the museum back to life. The ride will use screens, audio animatronics and other special effects to stun the guests. In the ride you will see things and people as Hydra, Troye, Hades and the Cyclops. The ride will be a motion based ride, but this ride will also be a bit coaster/thrill ride like. The names of the gods could collide with the Disney Hercules movie names, so I thought if we used the Greek names for the gods this could solve that problem.

Then last, but certainly not least is the new Egypt pavilion. It will replace the Outpost. Egypt will be represented by an Egyptian market, a restaurant, a pyramid coaster and a dark ride for younger ones. The Egyptian market will sell souvenirs, artifacts, food and drinks. You can also see Egyptian dancers and music players. The restaurant will be called the Cairo Palace, here you can enjoy typical Egyptian dishes. The dark ride will be called the Story of the River. The ride will be inside an Ancient Egyptian building with murals of the Nile on it. This dark boat ride( 6 people per boat) will bring you up the Nile. The ride will teach about the growth of the Egyptian empire, the legends of the gods and the river and about the river nowadays. You will also see audio animatronic hippos and crocodiles. The ride wont be an e ticket, but more on the level of the Gondolas di Venezia.
In front of the main pyramid is the famous Sphinx. The ride will be called Secret of the Pyramid. This thrill ride will follow a search for the treasures of the Sphynx(archeological site). In the queue you will enter a maze, where guests can play games and try to pass boobytraps. The ride will be something known as the EMV coaster. The vehicles( 16 people per vehicle) will be similar to the Gringott coaster and the revenge of the mummy ride, but they will use the EMV system that can be found in the dinosaur ride too. The ride will lead deep into the pyramid, but then we find out that the Sphinx has woken and that he won't easily let people steal his treasures and so he activates boobytraps. You will also encounter scarabs for example. Can you escape the Sphinx's wrath? The rjde will use fire, light, wind, smoke and projections as effects.

A pavilion to represent the Caribbean countries...the Bahamas, Cuba, St. Bart's, etc. It could have a lazy river because you can never have enough water rides in World Showcase!

I always thought Russia would be a very interesting country for World Showcase. They could have one of those 360 movies about the country, nice shops, and a restaurant with Russian style food. Also Ireland would be interesting. They could have a simulation style attraction that simulates the kissing of the Blarney Stone, plus I love the food from Ireland so a Table Service Restaurant would be great as well. Shops with Irish Wool items would be pretty cool.

Expand Japan into the empty pad next to Morocco to serve as the Mt. Fuji attraction entrance. Theme the entrance as a shopping district, maybe throw in a few food booths or shopping kiosks. It ends at a shrine or temple at the entrance to the ride. The ride exits through Mitsukoshi and the castle.
