There were several World Showcase Pavilions which almost made it to the construction phase. A detailed model of the Equatorial Africa Pavilion was put on display at one point and supposedly Alex Haley had recorded an introduction for the attraction. Never did hear why Disney pulled the plug for this one. Supposedly Disney had an agreement with a Japanese company (I'm thinking Fuji Film?) to sponsor a Mount Fuji roller coaster at the Japan Pavilion.
Disney was close to starting construction of the Asian Resort in the mid-1970's but he Arab oil embargo came along. There was information in that year's annual report to shareholders that construction was imminent.

Yeah, definitely a lot with World Showcase - they even had in the opening day brochure of EPCOT promotions for three new pavilions that would be coming soon - Equatorial Africa (as you mention) and also Spain and Israel. Money/lack of sponsor hurt those also political climate I believe impacted Israel

The Asian Resort could not be built. When site prep was done on the area it was found unsuitable for large scale building given the budget and the site remains that way today.
I think you are right on that. I think I got them confused. Good catch.i thought the Asian Resort was going to go where the Grand Floridian currently is - it was the Venetian that was going to go between the TTC and the Contemporary that was scraped because the land was unstable (but I could be wrong)
I’m confused, what’s the hate? Is it just the “Guardians don’t belong in Epcot” thing? To me, the ride is coming whether we like it or not, might as well embrace it. A free dance party seems fine to me.
Reread the article before posting... I totally understand the hate. WHY would they put it in that location?!? Why not by Mission: Space? Or literally anywhere else in Future World over that theater?!
I don't think the Incredibles belong in Tomorrowland, either... I also don't get the whole dance party thing, but apparently other people like them because they keep adding them.

No way this could be worse than the "band" that normally butchers great songs in that location. How/where would they host this by Mission Space, btw?
If you're just walking around WS, won't you just hear the cool songs from those mix tapes? Will it really be that obtrusive?
Probably like the DCA thing.Is that going to be a separate event or just like the little stage show like the do out in California Adventure with Star Lord and Gamora where they need everyone to dance along to keep the heat signatures up or something like that?
I get what you're saying, but what they normally have there is awful, IMO, and there's a built-in stage. I can completely understand using it for this purpose rather than erecting something elsewhere, even though the characters don't fit. It's not as though the American Pavilion has such an incredible and unique vibe to ruin. Honestly, we always walk right by it quickly, getting away from the butchering of Aerosmith songs.The songs won’t necessarily be out of place but the characters are, in my opinion. It would make so much more sense if this was in FW. And true there’s no stage by MS but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a dance party in that area without a stage
