Yes, the poll was started as a result of the thread discussing adding Russia to World Showcase in EPCOT. I thought about adding Neverland to the Poll options but had a feeling it would have an unfair advantage over the others.

I'm the first to vote and I voted Russia.
Well I'm Irish so of course I had to vote for Ireland. Of course if was going to be all leprechauns and guiness I would have to withdraw my vote
:stpattys:
I vote Australia. I think it would be a neat addition to the countries that are already there. :mickey:
My vote is Greece!:vacation:
Australia could be a very cool addition -- imagine a mini Ayers Rock!
My first response was going to be Ireland, but then I thought back to several trips that I have had to the Bahamas and other islands in the Carribean. The flavors of the islands, the straw market in the Bahamas and the wonderful mix of cultures would be great at EPCOT.
I picked other. Egypt, Madagascar, South Africa, Venzuela, Brazil (always mardi Gras) would be better choice.
We have a lot of Europe represented and India is already in AK. I know Africa is too that is why I picked countries dor more their culture instead of their animals. Ok Madaagascar fits into AK better.
I wish I could edit my poll. I meant to put Egypt on the list.
I like all the suggestions, but a previous posters idea about Greece would be a great one. Incredible food, beautiful architecture, and the possibilities that a mythology based attraction pose are huge.
Yes! This comes up now and then I always go with Greece. Great food, a character tie-in (Hercules- not that you need characters in WS, but it can't hurt), and the possibility of adding a mythological based attraction along the lines of Norway's Maelstrom. Russia would be my second choice.
Ireland is already part of the UK, represented, and there's also Raglan Road at Downtown Disney. Australia would be neat, but I would love to see it at the Animal Kingdom as a new land over there.
I chose Russia, but I was torn between Greece and Australia. I chose one that was the most different from the current countries already there - I want to go find out about countries I'd never be able (or willing) to visit.
I also think that Ireland is well represented in the UK.
I could be wrong, but I thought Ireland was represented in the United Kingdom pavilion? I thought the architecture represented all of the U.K. and there is a shop with merchandise from Ireland because I have bought several things.
I went with Australia.
I went with Australia but I also favor Greece.
I totally agree! You make a good point about Hercules and a ride would work in nicely there. Austrailia should definitely be Animal Kingdom! That would fit in nicely with the other countries. I think they should add some kind of Irish flavor to the United Kingdom area, even though southern Ireland isn't apart of the UK.
I voted other for Egypt. there's tons of history, Mythological gods, and cool buildings. I think a boat ride down the Nile would be fun. Also, i think it would be good to learn about their current culture and lifestyles
I went for Switzerland because it would be cool to have the Matterhorn bobsleds and a fondue restaurant!
It was between Australia and Ireland for me and I went with the Aussies. :mickey:
I picked Australia.....we were so close to it years ago while living in the Phillippines, and didn't even go......:( sure missed out on a good opp.....:mickey:
like I said in the other thread... Antarctica because of the penguins.
I like how you think! I am the other person that voted for Switzerland. I voted before I read your post, but that was the exact reasoning that I had in mind. It would pave the way for a great ride!
I thought about Australia, but the question was "what COUNTRY would you like to see added?" Australia is an entire continent!:mickey:
I also voted for Switzerland because I think you could really do alot with it. First, bring the Matterhorn to WDW, or you could do a Soarin style ride throught the Swiss Alps. Kinda neat.
Also the food would be incredible.
I agree with another post which said Australia would be better suited in Animal Kingdom. I think that would add more depth to AK.
After I posted my response, I saw some other peoples answers and I would love to see Egypt or Greece. Great ideas!!
How about Brazil or Argentina?
I voted for Greece. There's a lot they could do with the theming for that country.
The only down side would be listening to my Greek next door neighbour gloat.
I would love to see Jamaica, Hey Mon.
I'd like to see Greece added to EPCOT. The imagination would run WILD with possibilities for a "ride". The food is great there, so Greece is my pick
i voted "other" thinking greece- for all the reasons stated above. great food, great architecture, great possibilities for an attraction, and character tie-ins.
I voted Bahamas. I enjoy Tropical areas (beaches, palm trees, sunny weather, etc.). However, Switzerland came close to being my vote. A Switzerland Idea created during the original planning of Epcot included its own Matterhorn (bobsled coaster and everything!).:mickey:
I really wish I had added Egypt and Greece to this poll, but I love the idea of adding Australia to the AK. It does seem like that would be a good fit.
Id love an australian pavillion. Ive always wanted to go there and this would be a great way for me to experience it.
a vote for Ireland here
I would love to see Australia at WS since it has so much to offer but I wouldn't mind having it at AK as well. Currently there is Asia & Africa at AK along with Japan, China and Morroco.
Others that would be great would be Egypt, Russia, and I agree with a South American Country.
The WS is great but by adding just a few more countries you could make it complete.
I voted other for Greece, too.
What does Australia have for food. Not trying to flame, easily swayed by a good meal!
Diggery-doo concerts 4x a day would also be cool. Would need to have the Rescuers there.
I went for Australia ...World Showcase needs something from that side of the world :thumbsup::beer:
Although Ireland is represented in the UK pavillion Ireland isn't actuaaly part of the UK in the real world. It is a separate country and should be represented separatley.
The UK pavillion itself is heavily biased in favour of England. Wales Scotland and Northern ireland barely get a look in. I would like to see more representation for these parts.
OK Rant over
Russia would be cool to though:cool:
I voted for India since they have such an interesting culture and special food, but after reading the posts I would have to say that Greece would be a huge favourite! It's one of the nicest European countries with great people, good food and a history which is amazing!
I voted for Australia, its a great country with excellent soap operas lol
I voted other & think it should be Brazil. Europe is already heavily represented in WS. I think there is a lot they could do w/ Brasil, food, culture & soccer!
good question.i think its time to add on.
