Re: New Epcot Pavillion??

Turkey would be really cool! How about India though? I LOVE Animal Kingdom mainly because of the Indian/Asian area. It would be great to have that in World Showcase. It is one of the most culture rich and populated countries in the world. It really should be represented.

I've advocated India in the past - I believe a restaurant would be hugely popular. However, it does have some representation at AK now (although no real Indian food).

Greece would be a good one-would prefer that to Turkey (may be a bit biased as both parents are from Cyprus lol)
Turkish food is too similar to Morocco i think....

I'd really like to see Turkmenistan represented.

Even so...I think India would catch on well, since it is such a big country...it would just gel well with the other "big" countries included in Epcot (of course, this excludes Morocco from the category)

i feel like no matter what though Epcot is in for a change somewhere... mostly because nothing has really been done in that park in so long... and the recent management shakeup that was done recently...

Mouse Extra Blog Archive Brasil at the World Showcase

I like the Brazil idea. I would also back India, Greece or Egypt

To me, Australia would be great for DAK

all of these ideas sound great, but unfortunately, a new pavilion is doubtful at best within the next 10 years. with all the cash being pumped into DCA and Fantasyland, there just won't be anything that large going in anytime soon. sorry to rain on the parade. we can dream though...and since we are...

eight spots...India, Greece, New Zealand (save Australia for DAK), Brazil, South Africa, Russia, Saudi Arabia, ...and one for the future

It has less to do with the money being put in elsewhere, as it does the lack of a sponsor to help foot the bill to build it. World Showcase was meant as a permanent "World's Fair" - and the countries and/or their related corporations usually put up the money for that.
