My Imagined Reboot Of Epcot

[KRT]

• Move "Soarin" to the Magic Kingdom, and move the "The Seas" aquarium to Animal Kingdom
• Tear down Future World and replace it with new countries
• Convert the geodesic dome into a representation of the planet earth
• Rename the park "Walt Disney's World Showcase"

What do you think?

No. Just no.

World Showcase already has enough room for at least eight more pavilions.
- Australia
- Brazil
- Switzerland
- Russia
- South Korea
- Israel
- Antarctica
- India

These are the ones I would like to see added and then add a ride to each existing pavilion.
Mount Fuji Coaster, Matterhorn clone, London bus simulator etc

Future World on the other hand needs so much work..

I think a few more countries would be great, but not at the expense of destroying the things that are already there. Epcot just needs...help. And better traffic flow.

I think Antarctica would be a bit of a stretch seeing as they have no permanent residents. Who would run the pavilion? But you are spot on with the other countries!

Future World is tough, its not so easy to show off future tech without spending allot of money or receiving donations. Maybe if they just put that Peoplemover in it would make people forget about the other shortcomings...

The only people that run the pavilions is Disney; its a common (false) belief that the nations represented do, but they don't. If they did China would have a statue a Mao and Marx in the center paired with red banners and gold stars everywhere.

As for this idea; NO. I like your idea of having Spaceship Earth re-themed to a planet earth, but if that happens I say move it to the lake. Now onto no Future World, I highly disagree with taking it out. It's the closest thing we have to Walt's original idea it just needs to be updated and redesigned. World Showcase could use: Auzzie, Russia, Korea, Eastern Europe, finishing the Scandinavian Pavilion, Argentina, Spain (shocked they don't have it yet actually), Expansion of Mexico into Latin America, Brazil, India, and South Africa.

Yes, I should have been more clear. The countries do not run the pavilions, but they are staffed by people from the various countries. Therefore the Antarctica pavilion would have to be staffed by penguins and researchers.
