What new country you'd like to see in Epcot?

[D0nald]

I know that Disney people check sites like this, offen; getting ideas, measuring acceptance or disapproval on improvements, or just for fun...
So....DISNEY PEOPLE!!!...why don't you start thinking in the adition of a new country pavilion at Epcot?
These are my preferences (in order of importance)
- Egypt (think about the pyriamids & the pharao's age)
- Brazil (Carnival, Soccer, Amazonia)
- Russia (picture a Skyway attraction all around the lagoon)
- Switzerland (imagine Matterhorn ride like in DL)

....So...What do you think?

With UK, France, Norway, Italy and Germany you pretty much have Europe covered.


I would probably go with Australia or Egypt.

I would prefer some of the existing countries get some TLC or attractions added to them before a new country arrivves such as....


UK---Add Mr. Toads Wild Ride

Germany---Rhine River Adventure Ride

Canada--Add some type of History of Hockey whether its a museum or circlevision attraction

Japan---Some sort of Roller Coaster

By adding these to the existing countries the world showcase would gain a new dark ride, a boat ride and a coaster and maybe a new show or exhibit hall.

On top of the new pizza place and mexican cantina it would help freshen up the whole World Showcase.

If I were to add a new land it would have to be Austrailia :wave:

UK---Add Mr. Toads Wild Ride

Awesome! :sohappy:


As an EPCOT purist I really ought to object, but the idea is way too cool for that.

One of the ones mentioned every few months around here...

 

[Pioneer Hall]

Somalia

:lookaroun

 

[Evil Genius]

Petoria!

Seriously though I'd have to agree with either Egypt or Austalia. I think those two along with Greece may be the three most intriguing choices.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. That question is definitely a classic!

But to answer the question I would LOVE to finally see one of the better designs of the 70ies and 80ies finally realized.

Especially the Venezuela-Pavillon with it's miniature Angels Fall, the Rainforest Ride etc. sounded and looked fascinating.

And as DAK does only feature Asia and Africa and Adventureland is a mix of all the tropics a South American addition would be a nice addition to the World in general.

Brazil - for Carnival

Iceland- see what the imagineers would come up with for a constant spewing volcano :ROFLOL:

Australia or New Zealand

Ireland- because it's home and if the can have the UK why can't they have us :veryconfu

 

[sorcerergoofy]

I vote Egypt!

I also like the idea of bringing Mr. Toad back! :sohappy:

 

[Saoirse1916]

My vote would be Australia -- that's an entire continent not represented.

 

[magicmaya]

Anything but turkey...

 

[E P C O T]

Void.

 

[aladdin4000]

Disney would go above and beyond with an "Egypt pavilion".
Australia would be fun too!

 

[janoimagine]

My votes would be (in no specific order):

New Zealand

Venezuela

Australia

Russia

Cuba.

There have been quite a few similar threads, including this poll...

...which Greece "won" with 42 votes, followed by Australia (33), Egypt (31) and Russia (30).

If a country would have to sponsor its pavilion, Greece's current budget situation pretty much rules it out.

 

[LoriMistress]

Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Greece, and Russia would be the new countries that I would like to see added in.

India, Australia or Poland

I've never heard Poland suggested before. What would a Polish pavilion have?

You just couldn't put it between a Germany & a Russia pavilion: they'd split it in half and annex it.
