After looking through the space that Epcot takes up there are 4 open spaces for pavilions in the World Showcase, I wanted to talk a bit about some rumored and speculated [possible] pavilions and they could be from a IP as Frozen is not in Norway. Also Norway should be turned into Arendale as it would make more sense. As I am trying to post things on a regular basis as Epcot “Evolution” is taking to long.
Possible Epcot WS Pavilions:
Possible Epcot WS Pavilions:
-Arendale [possible]
The fictional kingdom from the animated series “Frozen” and it would make sense to rip out Norway and put it somewhere else as Frozen does not take place in Norway.
-Wakanda [unlikely]
From the highly successful Marvel movie “Black Panther” rumors have come out about it going into Epcot but the deal with Comcast and Marvel from the 90’s prevents that. I assume Universal would try to use him in a park instead of trading out the rights for a Fox IP.
-Agrobah [unknown]
The kingdom from the Disney classic “Aladdin” would fit in the expansion pad next to Morocco but should they do it. Unknown, the new Aladdin has done really well but not received well. I think they should instead do the cave of wonders but we shall see. I don’t think this will happen though.
-Brazil [possible]
The big rumor is that this pavilion is being built and will have D&3C there and have Coco replace their old home in Mexico but stuff like Mexico will need an overhaul and stuff meanwhile FW is getting a revision. I suppose Mexico might be in the planes for a refurb but I still see all this likely.
-Asgard [not going to happen]
I mentioned earlier how Norway might be moved and be fully replaced by Arendale and I think Norway would return or normal but I have a bit of speculation that they might use Norse Myths for Norway and call it Asgard and make it so it feels like Marvel but really is the Mythos version. It would be sneaky but could bring Thor to Disney parks.
-Russia [unknown]
This one was a unused idea but it was for the Soviet Union and obviously was scrapped. It could be brought back as Russia with maybe a dog sled race ride (kiddie coaster). I don’t see this happening but I have not found much legitimacy or disproving evidence (and no does not mean it was mentioned). Also I don’t even think Disney thought about doing this.
-India [possible]
The rumored India pavilion could possibly feature a Jungle Book styles ride but I don’t see this happening as I believe it belongs to AK.
The other ones are ones that will work in AK and Asia and the other AK countries don’t belong in Epcot as they are already being used.
