You mean replacement for RnRC and Launch Bay with a modest expansion inbetween? That’s the next major area of development there. But it’s a ways off and the IP could change 8 times.

Thanks for explaining. Israel is a very particular case, and I don’t think there are any African countries that would raise comparable security concerns.Israel was considered for World Showcase, then it wasn’t because of its issues. The same issue could arise for any African country.
The other bit was me saying (or hoping) most people wouldn’t care if Israel was added and it wouldn’t cause a stir.
Oh I was just talking about hubbub online not security.Thanks for explaining. Israel is a very particular case, and I don’t think there are any African countries that would raise comparable security concerns.
…it would involve a thought pattern to design and build?What makes an attraction/experience better when it's in the parks first vs. a movie first?
….I…see…what…you…did…there…If the demographics of those who built up the US is what you’re going to invoke to justify the current configuration of World Showcase, then you should be all for sub-Saharan African representation.
Dude…it ain’t happening…no need to script a podcast over itThe interesting thing about a Wakanda land is that previously all Marvel based theme park additions were self aware of existing within a theme park. Ideally, a Wakanda land built as a themed destination would break that mold.
You just love dancing on the edge of that forum volcano without a shirt and shoes, don't you?Some countries in Africa have had successful coups but honestly, the only difference for the USA is that our recent attempted coup failed.
Kind of what I do.Dude…it ain’t happening…no need to script a podcast over it
It wouldn't have even been that much of an online concern back in the day when Israel wanted it. I mean, yeah, it would have been all over message groups but most of the world wasn't paying attention to that sort of thing back then yet.Oh I was just talking about hubbub online not security.
I hope you have sponsorsKind of what I do.
…I dig itYou just love dancing on the edge of that forum volcano without a shirt and shoes, don't you?
We're all trying nudge and be like "you get it, right?.. right?".…I dig it
What do I have to lose by being honest? Some Americans like to look down on the Chads and Haitis of the world as though democracy is a done deal in America. The irony reaches a boiling point when you are talking about the Disney resort in Florida, in particular.We're all trying nudge and be like "you get it, right?.. right?".
Meanwhile he comes charging on in going "what china shop?!"
No argument, here.What do I have to lose by being honest? Some Americans like to look down on the Chads and Haitis of the world as though democracy is a done deal in America. The irony reaches a boiling point when you are talking about the Disney resort in Florida, in particular.

That's not how EPCOT national pavilions come about. It has to be that nation or a big corporation or NGO from that country that foots the bill for that national pavilion.Make pavilion for real African nation
Yeah and how are they going to staff it? Are they really going to have an explicitly race-segregated theme park land? I can't imagine that. I also can't imagine them staffing a Wakanda with white people. There are landmines all over this idea, operationally.
Didn't one of the early renderings that went along with Disneyland Forward seem to suggest the giant carved black panther statue that is at the entrance to Wakanda suggesting a potential Black Panther/Wakanda attraction in Disneyland? I know those initial renderings/images were solely blue-sky, but it wouldn't be too much of a surprise to see this as something planned for California (not to say they wouldn't just duplicate things and put something in Orlando as well).
Maybe do a little more to convert "Africa corner" between China and Germany?
I can confirm that Wakanda has been thought of for Epcot and is indeed a top runner for the park after Brazil. I’ve not heard ANYTHING at all about the company trading any rights for it, especially anything regarding Alien.
Since some of you were wondering what is on the table and what isn't, here's the latest update from a friend. Take it with a grain of salt, but this particular source has been mostly accurate in the past.
Status of Active Projects
Epcot:
Wakanda - Infinitely Delayed, then talked about again recently. Not sure on status now
@TheVisionarySoul would you happen to know of the proposed location of a wakanda addition to Epcot that you mentioned?
Supposedly next to Germany. Brazil was supposed to go between Germany and Italy.
