I have been hearing a lot about a Spain pavilion lately. How about an African pavilion. There are 5 European pavilions, but only 1 African. How about Ivory Coast?

W/ all the chaos going on there, I doubt it's being considered. An African pavilion was originally considered for the World showcase, but the idea was later expanded and became a separate park, AK.

Have you heard of the Animal Kingdom - It has about half the entire park themed around Africa, I don't think we need an Afican pavillion in EPCOT as well.

How about Austrailia? or maybe.. India? My younger bro was thinking "Iraq", but then I told him that it would be easy for Disney to set up an Iraq Pavilion -- all they have to do is level the ground and don't do anything with it.

Sorry... bad joke... I'll go back to bed now ;)

WOW!! That would be a good one! :)

Way better than the "Iraq" idea my brother came up with...

*kicks his younger bro in the butt*

BAD BROTHER!!! BAD!!!!

I would really like to see the Israel pavilion that was much talked about in the late 80's and 90's. But with all the conflicts in the middle east, I doubt we'll ever see an Israel pavilion.

i would love to see an Egypt pavilion, but with Morroco already in place, i doubt Egypt would ever come up...plus, with Mexico's temple resembling a pyramid, it might seem too similar.
i think Russia would make a nice pavilion! they could make a scaled down replica of St. Basil's Cathedral (i believe that's what it's called, yes?)
i think that something from South America would be nice too...maybe Brazil or Peru.
maybe even Austrailia or New Zealand...i know they already have that little refreshment station, but i think they could expand from that.

I think Disney has already approached most of the countries mentioned. The problem is not Disney it is the economies of those countries. The country is expected to support their pavillion. Most mentioned can not. :(

So here is my plan. An Antarctic pavillion (no messy political problems from their govenment-no government= no problems). No building needed. Make Ice Station Cool the Antarctic pavillion. Move it next to Italy and charge people NOT to drink Beverly.:rolleyes: :lol:

I wish that Disney would demolish the Outpost and use the prime parcel of land behind it to build a truly extraordinary pavilion, perhaps one with a.. a...

*hesitates*

RIDE!!!:) :)

I would like Russia, or even Switz (although I think there are way too many Euro pavilions there already). I would like to see something exotic, you know. Perhaps Peru... With Macchu Picchu, some replica Nasca lines, llamas everywhere, and tones of Emperor's New Groove merchandise!! Or, I'd settle for Australia, if they aren't going to put it in AK, with the Opera House, harbor bridge, Ayers Rock - now known as Uluru - and the like...

I like the idea of adding Australia...there's some neat prospects for building an awesome pavilion (opera house, ayers rock, great barrier reef, etc.). And it is different enough that it would be cool. And its not in Europe (there's enough European countries already).

If not Australia, then I would vote for something from South America. It would be different and there's some neat prospects for sights, restaurants, etc., but given the economy of most countries in South America, I don't see a pavilion of one of those countries opening any time in the near future.

And in the gift store for the "Antarctic Pavilion" -- they can sell t-shirts that say "I DRANK BEVERLEY @ EPCOT'S ICE STATION COOL AND LIVED!!!"

:hurl:

I think Kenya, Spain, or Venezuela would be great choices. From recent areal shots, it looks like there is enough space for a small pavilion between Canada and UK and for a large pavilion between China and Germany.

What do you mean by recent? On Microsoft Terraserver the Epcot pics are from 1999. Is there a place where you can get daily photos? :D

Sorry 'bout the thread drift.
