Of those, we all know South Africa from the original park plans that never got built and that Outpost was the place holder for - and that Animal Kingdom essentially replaced.. so in my opinion, no on that one, and I hope most people agree. Brazil.. interesting. Australia is as well, but seems a better fit for Animal Kingdom. Leaving us with Russia
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I hope they don't close a country for a new one. I would be really excited if they added a completely new pavilion, but I would also be happy to see them add some attractions to the existing pavilions. Germany and Japan both have the buildings in place, so it should be relatively easy and cheap (theoretically) to add something in either of those locations. I always enjoy exploring all the nooks and crannies in Morocco, and other guests seem to like it too. It just doesn't seem to have the same appeal to everybody, but of the people who are daring enough to go explore through that first arch, they all seem to be having a great time. It's a very unique pavillion, so I'd hate to see it go. I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the information of which one guests want to get rid of as a way to see what sort of features they should include in a new pavillion. I'm sure that the results will point toward having some sort of attraction included. Of the choices presented, I'd like to see Brazil or Russia. Russia has been talked about for years and would seem to fit in very well with the other countries already represented. Brazil would definitely spice things up a little bit, and add a new dimension to WS. I don't know if they really have a specific architectural style they could use (most of their historic buildings are fairly generic colonial-style), but I'm already picturing them using the black and white mosaic sidewalk designs from Rio de Janiero. Maybe they could go for a 30's/40's deco look. That would certainly stand out against the rest of the WS.

Originally Posted By magic0214 Would like Austrailia, but like mentioned, it would fit better in DAK. Russia would be nice, especially in the WS Skyline, with the onion looking buildings (name of the place escapes me at the moment) Brazil would be nice, but would be a little stupid to have the Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico, but Jose is from Brazil. Trying to think of another attraction, for Russia as well. If not Brazil...ARGENTINA!!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo >>>with the onion looking buildings (name of the place escapes me at the moment)<<< That is St Basil's Cathedral in Red Square Moscow, and it is a very beautiful building. Hmmmmmm, my vote definately goes to Russia, though Brazil could be interesting (though even more so in DAK). As for Oz, no thanks (except maybe in DAK)
Originally Posted By MPierce I think it would be highly unlikely that anything would go, as long as there is sponsorship. Therefore it would seem they are merely trying to find out which of the pavilions is the weakest. It would be a waste of money to demo a building when there are so many empty building pads to chose from. Russia would be a good choice, and I think Egypt would work well also. I just don't see this happening though.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I'd vote for Russia, especially after seeing what plans Imagineering already had for a Russia pavilion. Brazil would be my second choice; it would be nice to see South America represented.

I'd also love to see Russia, and Brazil(for the purely selfish reason of getting Brazilian ICPs in the park). But honestly I'd rather see the pavilions that are there finished. Germany, Italy, and Japan are all waiting for their attractions.

Originally Posted By disney pete hmmm i could see uk going ive never been keen on it i like the rose n crown but never drink there as im always driving and find the rest of uk boring (srange me being a brit and all) would only like to see russia there if kristine gets a job there as latvia was once part of russia
