New country in World of Showcase at EPCOT

**mickey** · 12-26-2001

There are several "spaces" available in EPCOT's World Showcase where imagineers could add an additional country. What country should be added, and what ride should that country feature, if any?

**mickey** · 12-26-2001

Definitely Switzerland, with an updated version of the Matterhorn. Nothing better than hanging around eating swiss chocolate and riding the Matterhorn.

My "other" would be Spain. I think they should feature a virtual bull fight, similar to the virtual hang gliding ride at California Adventure. I just love Spain, and it would be a great restaurant!

I'll have to say... Switzerland. I like the idea of a Matterhorn. I would love the "ski town" type atmosphere that the pavillion would be sure to include. Maybe the pavillion could include skiing simulators? Get some VR action going on in the mountains of everyone's favorite neutral country! ;)

You could do cool things with the pyramids, etc.... That would be cool!

My vote is to Russia.I think they can offer most with their culture,the food ,the architecture and the most important ...THE PEOPLE.

My second and third choice is Greece and maybe Spain for the same reason.

The idea is to have different cultures and show the diversity in the world.
:p

Every country is magic and this is why Disney want to show us how special is this world.

PS.SORRY ! My english is bad.:D :D

You could have a train ride across the country side, something similar to Sorin.

I voted Russia, as some people in my family speak Russian, and the food is sooooo goood.

And I don't think they would add any Soarin type attraction, as it is in the same park.

vlogilvie · 07-04-2006

I would enjoy any of the suggestions made here!!!

I would love to see Ireland as that is a huge part of my background (my Maternal Grandfather was from Ireland). It is just such a beautiful and fascinating country.

Brazil would also be amazing!

MJD, I love the train idea!

I'd like to see GREECE. Great food, and they could have a Soarin-type experience, or a 3D movie, making it feel like everyone is participating in various Olympic events.

The culture and history could be fun and educational as well.

I never thought of Greece. I think I would change my vote from Russia to Greece. That would be awesome.

Same thoughts here. The food and the Greek culture would make this fantastic.

there are so many countries that should be added! I kind of think that the USA should be moved to where the entrance of the park is and other countries added in its place- we are already experiancing America at its finest when in the park-
