There’s always been “some” Irish representation in the existing pavilion…
And since they haven’t actually built any new country in going on 35 years…it’s silly to come up with that one.
…it’s silly anyway…because the sponsorship model is dead and has been for decades…but whatever

I've always wanted to see Odyssey dismantled down to its base and rebuilt as a miniature Sydney Opera House for an Australia Pavilion.
I know it'll never happen, but the idea always seemed rather quaint. Odyssey is right there out on the water, it's barely ever used for anything.

Ireland (as in the Republic of Ireland) isn’t part of the UK. To conflate the two is like conflating Canada and the USA.
That said, the last thing World Showcase needs is another Western European country. A bit of geographical and cultural variety would be welcome!

I’m aware of the political distinction…
My point (I didn’t make it well) is that there will be NO country pavilions as designed in the pre-Internet, Jimmy carter world. It’s obvious to anyone that wants to bother to analyze it.
But people want to cling to the illusion. It is a funplex - after all.
I wouidn’t be opposed to what we saw in France - adding to existing. Some grumblings about the UK again. That is the best we’ll get. And that’s ok considering how awful the Bobs are at making parks tangibly better.

I'd rather see Australia at Animal Kingdom.

That was always the next logical move for that park. I mean…we’ll never get it…animals cost money and this yutz at the top probably wants rid of the ones they already have…but Australia behind the Tarzan theater was ALWAYS the right next step.
The avatar thing has worked out…at least.

Have Australia the continent at AK and Australia the country at Epcot... problem solved.

Well that would satisfy the “overuse” clause on all new builds…Have Australia the continent at AK and Australia the country at Epcot... problem solved.
Can we fit one next to country bears too?

Would an Indian based company pay for the operation, maintenance and staffing of it…in addition to likely a large upfront cash contribution to construction?

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I think a new attraction would be better than both... With the way Disney uses their money these days, you can't make them do too much... Otherwise you get Little Mermaid... An amazing facade with an alright ride.
I vote for a new attraction in Germany or Japan... Lets keep beefing up World Showcase. Easiest option would be Japan... With Epcot being the new IP dumping ground, and since I stopped caring, might as well get Big Hero 6 in there.

Brazil was considered for a pavillion when the economy of Brazil was booming and we had all the Brazillians coming to Disney. However, far fewer Brazillians are coming to Disney so I don't think Brazil would get the go ahead now. I would like to see an Australasian pavillion comprising of Australia, New Zealand and Polynesia

Please elaborate.
I assume it it a reference to South Africa once being British colony.

By that standard, the British pavilion renders Canada and even the US superfluous, not to mention such theoretical additions as India and Australia.I assume it it a reference to South Africa once being British colony.
