- Start date
If you've seen Moana and don't know what they're referring to, what are *you* smoking?

No-one said it would be a friendly personality. Water taking on more of a Larry David persona could be interesting.

In its current form you enter the attraction in the “British Isles” section, flip it to Germany instead, have the queue resemble a German toy shop, then continue to sail through all the other countries of the world. And because of Germany’s past means they can never have anything happy in their pavilion? Most countries have done horrible things in their past, you cant hold that against them.

I'd rather they build the river cruise.

If they were going to just randomly build IASW in world Showcase (it's not going to happen, so whatever, this is just idle conversation), it would make more sense to use one of the expansion pads between Germany and China (i.e. where African Outpost is). whatever is build there has to be enclosed anyway due to fireworks fallout so a big IASW show building would make sense and it's a good location for another ride.
That being said, as I've mentioned before, I'd like to see IASW added such that its entrance is near the International Gateway thus having it "welcome" guests to the park from that side and provide a kind of WS thesis statement there. If they use the World Showplace plot and orient the queue, it could be done. (Heck, probably wouldn't even need to use that, it looks like there is probably enough space behind/between the UK pavilion and the Skyliner station).

That wasn't my point. My point was that Germany's relatively recent past makes it particularly unsuited for a ride like It's a Small World. That's not my personal opinion (I wouldn't have any problem with it from that standpoint), but it's basically a guarantee that there would be some outrage. I know some Jewish people who refuse to even go into the German pavilion.
Regardless, I don't think it makes any sense to put It's a Small World in any World Showcase pavilion. That's not a good fit.

Fill in WSL with cement and put IASW in a large blue box in the middle of it. Problem solved.

Yes, it’s inside the monorail loop, but only most of that is World Celebration. Because that’s not confusing at all.

okay its a walk through area to teach about the importance of water in life, and we are kibitzing over the fact it is inside the monorail loop? Yes it is part of World Nature.

No need to get angry. Just a genuine question.

Lots of people are under the impression it’s in front of The Land Pavilion. The boundaries between the new neighborhoods are completely nebulous.

Nebulous and non-sensical. As engaging as the new names for the areas...
A water splash play area that teaches about the cycle of water that still no one has a clue what it actually is, is a great idea for the first thing you see after passing Spaceship Earth.
It's not a splash pad play area...I know but all the concept art shows people playing in the water... So I am still baffled by what this thing actually is...
Guess it doesn't matter at this point because it is going in...
And people will still be calling this Future World for the next 20 years... like they still call it MGM Studios....

I've never seen anything from Disney that made the monorail loop a boundary between 'Worlds.' Their first maps showed Imagination and Odyssey as being part of World Celebration, and they're both beyond the loop. Their art concepts showed JoW beginning right next to SSE, within the loop.

Not even Disney knows which neighborhoods everything is in. In one map, Imagination is in World Celebration. On a tip board, it’s in World Nature.
Everything is in Epcot. That’s all we need to know.
