New pavilion, I doubt it.

The one exception to this is Norway and China. They are separated only by a backstage pathway. Now I like the greenspaces and hope they remain. However, another country could technicallyt go into any of those green spaces.

I just wish they had more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <a href="http://www.newlineagefilms.com" target="_blank">http://www.newlineagefilms.com</a>

Originally Posted By RoadTrip Yes, I think it is the best of all the Showcase films. It is definitely worth taking the time to see it.

Originally Posted By MrToadWildRider That's one thing I never understood about EPCOT, they have the space to make new rides in the WS but they continue to take out classic rides to make way for the new.

I'm not saying they should've put Mission Space in between China and Germany I'm just saying if they keep feeling the urge to get new attractions why don't they reconsider the WS. I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that many visitors, particularly children, find the WS, as nice as it is, boring. I don't want to see them rip out parts of Japan's gardens to put in a roller coaster, I'm just saying they have all that land, they have the need, as a lot of those countries people just walk by and they're obviously trying to add some thrills to the park. The only downside is the location of that huge vacancy, it's very close to Norway and Mexico which are the only two "ride" pavillions.

To put in something like a ToT or Rock n Roller Coaster would destroy the Showcase experience. And the thought of just bringing in an attraction that was not associated with a country? There mere thought is sacrilegious.
Originally Posted By danyoung >Oh Cool! So you are all saying it's like the O'Canada?!!< Yup. Same display system, same lean rails. Personally I prefer the 5 screen system of Impressions de France to the full surround. I mean, you just CAN'T look in all directions at once, so I'm always missing something with the surround. With the France setup, not only do I have a wide field of vision that I can see most of at the same time, but I'm SITTING DOWN!!! Sitting is nice!
