It just seems like they were truly into planning Africa around the time EPCOT Center opened. (EPCOT Center being the original name of Epcot.) However, there's no saying they can't pull another Beastly Kingdom on us and we'll never get to see something they have truly worked on planning. But they really need to find a sponsor first. There is plenty of room in Epcot for a new pavillion. Well, let's hope for the best

P.S. The name of the attraction in Norway is Malestorm

I dont think they will have an Africa because they already have like animal kingdom and arent they like similar? With like the safaris and stuff.

I'm surprised that they don't have an Ireland pavilion, a Sweeden pavilion (a little similar to Norway, maybe they could have done the whole scandinavian region), Greece, or even a pavilion like Brazil, Argentina, or Australia (They haven't touched those countries). Really, World Showcase is dominated by 3 continents (Asia, N. America, and Europe) with 10 of the 11 countries being from there. I think the next one should be from a new continent.

Then again.. I would really like that Ireland pavilion, it would be nice with the real pin they seel too (The Irish Flag in a mickey ears shape).

There is an Ireland pavilion.

They can't - I was agreeing with you.

Oh, sorry. It would be really cool if they made countries you never hear about, you could learn alot from it.

Like the ones on the AT&T billboards xD

Technically Ireland isn't considered a pavilion and I honestly didn't really see anything to resemble it when I went there unless it is in either the England area which it probably would be (it would make the most sense, please tell me where this unoffical pavilion is).

What I mean though is a full scale pavilion that would just be exclusivly for Ireland. Now I just went to EPCOT so I just must have flat out missed it, then again, I did spend a lot of my time in Future World at either Mission Space, Test Track, The Pin Trading Place (My favorite in-park trade stop), or the Madden/College Football video game place in Innoventions.

Please tell me where this "Ireland Pavilion" is.

Ahhh I don't really remember. I think it may be in England but it also may have been in closer to the middle of the WSC. All I remember is a dark little wooden-walled shop and my Dad wanting to buy an Ireland Mickey Logo pin.

The "Ireland" pavilion is in between Canada and England, walking respectively between the counties, it would be on your right. Off Kilter plays on a wooden stage and if my memory serves correctly, there is a small cart that sells Disney-inspired Irish items.

Well, that hardly qualifies as a pavilion. They should do a whole Darby O'Gill and the Little People attraction!

I was looking on google for a magic wand epcot picture for school and I found this picture and it said epcot Japan, so I clicked on it and found a link that has Japan pavillion unrealized concepts. they look really cool. Here are pictures.

Are they planning to put this in the water/lake thing?

What is going to happen to illuminations?
I personally think making a russian place, would be a waste of money.

[EtnaGreen]

acutually I heard that would most likely go in if they do put something in is india because india's economy is going up alot. If they do because they are spending one billion dollars right now fixing up disney land.

About the Ireland thing which I'm just going to keep on talking about because that is me, the stage I believe is apart of Canada although it would make sense to be more England (The rock band wearing the kilts) it is pretty much in the middle.

Really, they don't have a full pavilion for it or don't even really mention it. I think they should have a full pavilion with some sort of Irish restaruant or/and a pub. They should also have some sort of full fledged show that features the who culture of Ireland, maybe one of those Circlerama 360's like they have in China and Canada.

I don't think a shop counts as a pavilion.
