Australia for EPCOT Center's World Showcase was on the map and in the model! Long ago, unfortunately. As you can tell, the Sydney Opera House would have made a great waterside landmark. But it never came to be, nor did that contemporary looking building that was a version of the American Adventure. If you notice, there's a few other pavilions that are there, including one that eventually showed up in an entirely different location.
Nice Opera House!
Brazil is coming- and you can see the original model here. But honestly, since EPCOT Center was my favorite Disney Florida park, I continue to love looking at would could have been! I have tons of concept art and more on the blog. Renderings for unbuilt attractions and more. Concepts for Spain, Venezuela, Philippines, Israel, Equatorial Africa and more. (Did you know there were once plans for a Netherlands showcase? Or was that for a different project altogether? That piece is coming later this month or so.)
I just love World Showcase- always have! From the opening of the park, it was just the perfect addition, perfect counterpoint, to the glitzy technological charms of Future World. More to come!
