Poll question: Epcot Center - what country/countries would you add?
I think our family liked Epcot most of all the parks, though my daughter's favorite ride was The Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios and I think the new American Idol experience was pretty good, too, even though I've never seen the TV show.

But, they have a big "rest stop" area in the World Showcase of Epcot that can likely fit 1-2 more countries. There is only 1 country in Africa - Morocco, and no countries in South America.

Current list:
USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, England, Italy, Morocco, China, Japan & Norway.

1. India, by far.
I would tear down China and put it there.

If they are going to honor China, why not North Korea, Saudi Arabia, or Iran?

None of the above countries are run by anyone who wouldn't want to see us destroyed.

2. People would have said the same about Japan in the 1980s
as what you said about China. Yet, both countries have been part of the World Showcase since the beginning.

5. China has too much history to take out
Politics aside, they have contributed far too much to world culture to not be there.

6. I would put in India and Brazil and take out Germany.
Central Asia needs to be represented somehow. It would be good to have another Latin American country also.

There is too much European influence at Epcot. There isn't really anything to do in the Germany pavilion.

7. Israel would be kinda cool, or Brazil or India or Australia or...yeah, I'll stop.
Israel and Spain were two countries that originally going to have WS pavilions but ended up falling through: http://www.lostepcot.com/worldshowcase.html
