Watch the news, I think we might be getting to that. ;=(

I think most of them would rather compete to not be featured in an American park.

Hmm...while there are so many in the world yet to be shown there I'd say probably Australia. There you'd fine a quick serve resturant with Shrimp on the Barbie, and other easy fix traditional Australian foods. From there would be a sit down restaurant called Eatin' in the Outback with your favorite Disney Characters in Australian garb while you enjoy a nice Australian steak or two while you snap some photos. Next up would be Bush Treck an all new action themed ride sure to draw more people to the World Showcase. Here you'd be on a treck after a Kangaroo that just stole a prized possession. I'd put this country over by Germany towards the canal area, but before the African outpost.

I think Greece or Egypt would be good!! They both have amazing history, artwork, architecture, and when it comes to food Greece would be GREAT!! I really like the idea that a lot of people have talked about though India is a wonerful idea!

India would be awesome! The food in itself would be worth building a pavilion for -- now there is a restaurant I would be willing to take 2 hours out of my vacation to go to! Tiki masala chicken, those honey soaked donuts, rice pudding . . . sigh.

The ride would be wonderful, down a river, through a temple, by some elephants. They could do a little bombay streetscape inside like Mexico's indoor courtyard. And if it is primarily an indoor ride you could push back away from the lagoon.

Hopefully we aren't the only ones thinking about a new world showcase pavilion!

I think Russia would be pretty neat. We have such a storied past with them, and nothing else in the Showcase is close to them. They could add a miniature Cremlin.

Your probably right, but we can Dream!! I think the main problem would be to find a good space for the new country to go in World Showcase.....hmmm..idk what about the building between the UK and Canada? They use it for conferences and special events now but who knows anything is possible!

There is a lot of space around and behind what's there.

Hey if they can rebuild DCA they can add one country to World Showcase. Yes it would be inconvenient for many patrons but it would be for the greater good.

I would like to add another vote for Africa. I was sitting around today thinking of this question after hearing some Epcot stuff and it dawned on me "African Union". The governments of Africa have been working together a little better with the creation of the African Union so why not Immortalize it with it's own Pavilion. I'm thinking of a walk through the History of the continent, First Human-modern days. Basically Show off the History and the development.

I could definitely see a film about the first humans stone/bronze ages and then advancing to the Egyptians, so on and so forth til now "Forming the African Union, building stronger alliances with eachother the promote a better way of life". Just a thought.

Since there seems to be an interest I brought this up for everyone.

Nice idea Jacca. I personally would like to see Israel added. I know it was there for a brief time as a part of the millennium celebration. I personally liked it a lot and would really enjoy seeing it added to Epcot.
