Trixie looks the part a bit more.Great idea, but it has to be called Rex’s Dino Spin for me. Rex deserves some love.
Or use the various characters from Toy Story as the ride vehicles.

Depends on how big (and hungry) those animals are...Does having animals in the park have any hinderance on Cultural Reps sharing their culture and customs though?
I'm not familiar with that ride...i'll never forgive Universal Orlando for ripping up Jaws for Transphobic *** J.K. Rowling.
Take the Aladdin ride at MK and install it in an indoor space in Morocco. Add some projection mapping to the walls while you ‘fly’ over Agrabah and you will have a packed Morocco pavilion (at a very low investment cost). This would also relieve some congestion at the MK, give more seating area for the Dole Whip stand and remove a duplicated ride system in the park.
“Arabian” in the context of opening song refers to the Arab world in general, not to the Arabian peninsula. Architecturally, Agrabah has very little to do with the Arabian peninsula; its buildings are a hodgepodge, though most of what you see when Aladdin and Jasmine set off on their carpet ride resembles the monuments of Mamluk Egypt.Agrabah was supposed to be set in the Arabian peninsula, which is different, if not culturally, then definitely in regards to architecture.
Do you know if they opened one of the other shuttered shops or is there no shopping in Morocco now?Morroco pavilion's Souk-al-Magreb closed for refurbishment

Epcot, the park that just keeps on giving!No shopping
Apart from the museum, of course.That is all Morocco is...shopping.. Without it's big restaurant and bazaar, the Morocco Pavilion is basically a snack stand like the Coke outpost.
They really should think about a placemaking permanent attraction for this pavilion...
Aladdin is more Arab...as is Sinbad but generally more "middle Eastern"...I think Sinbad was supposed to be from Persia... Maybe rebranding Morocco to a Middle Eastern pavilion by expanding it and including multi middle eastern countries and cultures...but not Morocco specifically? Not sure what the best case would be, but an real attraction (ride) would be a great addition to this pavilion...especially with the loss of it's main restaurant at the back.
It's not really much of a museum to be honest... And after you have seen it a hundred times.... well....you know....Apart from the museum, of course.
My guess is most people have never seen it. Partly at least due to people telling them there’s nothing to do there? I find the architecture of the pavilion as well as the museum interesting, including the interior of the building. Searching for the defaced tiles is also fun.It's not really much of a museum to be honest... And after you have seen it a hundred times.... well....you know....
How do you suggest they do that when all the architecture and decoration is specifically Moroccan, down to a recreation of one of the most famous and recognisable minarets in the world? Would you ever propose converting the France pavilion, with its distinctly Parisian feel and replica of the Eiffel Tower, into a generic European pavilion?Maybe rebranding Morocco to a Middle Eastern pavilion by expanding it and including multi middle eastern countries and cultures...but not Morocco specifically?
I would not attempt it...I was just saying that in order to use Aladdin or Sinbad they would sort of have to change the context of the pavilion. If they were to change it I imagine they would need to add additional architectural references...like they did with the Norway pavilion...Make it more whimsical and less "exact copy"...How do you suggest they do that when all the architecture and decoration is specifically Moroccan, down to a recreation of one of the most famous and recognisable minarets in the world?

That’s all good but with no shopping, entertainment, full meal table service, attraction, the pavilion is little more than a snack stand now.My guess is most people have never seen it.

The same argument could surely be made about most things at WDW? Do something 100 times and the excitement / interest will probably dwindle for many people. Luckily most people don’t go often enough to have that problem and those that do probably aren’t able to see and do everything on every trip.
I guess I kinda wish I could go often enough to feel like you do.
Unless the Sultan's Colada returns to the juice bar I won't be satisfiedThat’s all good but with no shopping, entertainment, full meal table service, attraction, the pavilion is little more than a snack stand now.
Norway is still Norway, even if Arendelle has been squeezed into one of its spaces. They haven’t changed the pavilion’s architecture or made it “more whimsical” to my knowledge.I would not attempt it...I was just saying that in order to use Aladdin or Sinbad they would sort of have to change the context of the pavilion.

And they kind of turned the Norway Pavilion into a generic Norwegian area countries pavilion....How do you suggest they do that when all the architecture and decoration is specifically Moroccan, down to a recreation of one of the most famous and recognisable minarets in the world?

No, they didn’t. I’m not sure why you’re claiming such a thing.And they kind of turned the Norway Pavilion into a generic Norwegian area countries pavilion....
