I get your argument but personally if you want character based attractions that's why they have MK and even DHS. Epcot originally of course was a city in Walt's eyes. Then it turned into the future and the world. Obviously now the future is hard to create attractions on especially when outside companies won't come in and sponsor things like they wanted. However that also doesn't mean it needs to become a character land. World showcase also doesn't need to become fantasyland 2.0.
World showcase can still have attractions based on the lands. Maelstrom for example could've been updated and it would be great. There even was a plan for an update but Frozen won out.
Obviously it is what it is and we don't know what is going to happen in the future but I just don't want MK 2.0.
Blue sky I don't like to report on because so much can change its not always worth mentioning.Another EPCOT Tidbit...
Magic Feather and Martin at WDWMagic confirm there is blue sky for an attraction in UK pavilion at WS, but theme is still TBD, and development and plan no where near as far as France.
I like the idea of Epcot having characters teach a bit more about the lands they are from. Have Mulan save China and tell us about other historical figures in China's history! Show us the cultures using the characters. Thats what went wrong with the Frozen ride. Even if I love it, it should be in MK and the trolls should be telling us about their significance in their culture.
okay got some more news:
We have 3 new countries on the voting board for WS in Epcot - one is probable to be built, one is possible, and one probably has no chance - per Martin and MagicFeather @ WDWMagic.com
This is on top of expected rides added to UK and France - which they also further admitted to
To date i have not heard any specifics. I know some scuttle but has been going around about one country from South America..but that is pretty much all that is going around, that and maybe a country like Switzerland that has some ties to ski lifts or gondola rides.....What are the 3 countries? By the way, keep posting rumors like this, I love the information you provide.
I believe Brazil was one of them.To date i have not heard any specifics. I know some scuttle but has been going around about one country from South America..but that is pretty much all that is going around, that and maybe a country like Switzerland that has some ties to ski lifts or gondola rides.....
but I have not seen any real solid targets for any of the worlds, nor which expansion slots they go into.
I am still desperately wishing for Greece (bring back Meg and Herc!)I believe Brazil was one of them.
I completely agree!!!I am still desperately wishing for Greece (bring back Meg and Herc!)
I would prefer Peru with some Machu Pichu tie in.
I think Israel would get way too political for Disney to touch, just my opinion thoughThat would be my South American preference... I think Egypt would be pretty cool, but I'd like to see what the Imagineers could do with Israel.
Martin at WDWMagic is hinting at two new pavillions in WS potentially. I find this getting hard to believe, and not just because Spirit is doubtful on it. Just seems like a huge amount of spend in two parks that close together.
Here are the Epcot rumors
