EPCOT What is this?

[QuasiNoFroyo]

If I wanted more African representation at Epcot, I'd nominate either Mali or Ethiopia, or maybe something more obscure like Namibia or Botswana. As for other countries not yet represented at World Showcase I'd also nominate Australia, Cambodia, and Thailand.

Omg. Your ideas are perfect lol. Mali, Ethiopia... and the last unrelated three. South Africa could be cool, the Zulu empire and recent social issues in the country.

I'm not implying that, I'm stating it explicitly.

What an ugly and ignorant thing to say.

And exactly why Epcot should have some Africa. Maybe a knowledge of and indulgement in these great cultures would help to broaden these people's views.

There’s children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads.

Egypt would honestly be perfect for both. Egyptian culture is at the hallmark of civilzation and would be fantastically represented in Epcot (think the pyramids... that would be cool.) Also, it would be a great way for DAK to introduce more North African/Arabian biotypes. They are a really cool mixture of African and west Asian fauna.

I agree. The pyramids would also lend itself well towards a ride perhaps involving an ancient mummy that comes back to life or just a simple ride viewing the area and their culture

Wich African Country do you want to see ? To make one African pavilions will be the same as hole Europe in one pavilion. You agree that the German , English , France. Norway pavilion are very different ? Wat is THE African culture ? Marokko is Afrika but I think you don’t mean that kind of Afrika.

Yes. Although since Showcase has so many dark rides, a ride which shows us Egyptian culture and then mythos would be great with some thrill element. Presuming you mean Epcot.

There is no specific culture of Africa, Africa is massive. As a previous poster stated, Ethiopia would he great, Mali... they could do Nigeria, South Africa... just something representing such a diverse and massive region. Morocco is Africa but we were talking about sub Saharan Africa which would not include Morocco, Egypt, etc.

Egypt already has massive representation in SSE. If you can read Hieroglyphics thank the Egyptians.

 

[Fable McCloud]

There should be some better sub-Saharan African representation. America has the least understanding of this massive region, and since Epcot is supposed to celebrate culture, this is one that would probably represent Epcot's themes best in terms pf inspiration and learning a truly new culture.

Oh, what about an Egypt Pavilion? That'd be so cool!

Ah, another thread about Epcot world showcase turns into "I want this country in Epcot."

 

[Mac Tonight]

Hey look a new thread...

... Nevermind.

Evolving Epcot, devolving thread.
