Armchair imagineering: What new pavillion would you add to Future World?

[Lacrosse Boy]

If you were in charge of EPCOT Center, what pavilion would you build in Future World if given the opportunity?

This is hypothetical. I'm not talking about a new pavilion for World Showcase (which would be nice). I'm not talking about demolition of an existing pavilion. I'm not talking about bringing back an old pavilion. I'm not talking about any other needs that should be fixed first.

I am simply saying, if you were to add one, what should it be?

Personally, I would like to see one that expanded upon what we see with Stormstruck. One that would encompass the topic of weather. Weather affects everything we do, and we constantly obsess over it. It could go between The Land and The Seas pavilion, to round out this side of Future World as the more "organic" side of Future World.

Stormstruck is a must, and will require a much larger auditorium than the one in Innoventions. The pavillion should expand on the Stormstruck concept and have a ride about the weather. People can experience all different and accurate types of weather in this omni-mover ride-through. It wouldn't be quite as long as Spaceship Earth or Horizons were, but not as short as Nemo. I am also thinking that something like Imageworks could do well in this pavillion, except, of course, different sensory exhibits/interactive toys.

What would others like to see for a new pavilion on Future World.

Well, it's late and I'm tired so I'll just throw out some concept ideas for pavilion themes and see if anyone else wants to plus them with attraction ideas.

Time
Fire
Computers
The Human Senses

When you say Time, time in what respect? We have seen many "time" pavilions at EPCOT: namely Spaceship Earth and Horizons, but let's not forget World of Motion, Universe of Energy, Living with the Land, recreations of classical times in respective countries.

Just wondering if that could be clarified.

A Space Pavilion.

You would have different sections - Spaceship mock-ups. Moon colony equipment. Mars robotic explorers and colony bases. Asteroid mining facilities. Orbital Space Station experiments.

Sorry about not being clear, but I wasn't clear when I brainstormed the list. I was thinking of time as a fourth dimension--an exploration of what time is, perhaps some interesting theories on time travel, etc.

Horizons used time to tell a story, but it didn't DEFINE the story. The same with Spaceship Earth--it's essentially a chronological history lesson, with some near-future stuff at the end. The other pavilions you mentioned also explored HISTORY, but not the very concept of time itself.

The only idea I can really think of right now would be an evolution themed pavilion, although I'm not quite sure how it would fit in with future world. Or maybe a pavilion focused on human achievements. I disagree with putting it between The Land and The Seas because there is far less room there than you think but it would play of inventor's circle well.

Would an evolution themed pavillion be appropriate for EPCOT, or would it be better packed into what had been "The Wonders of Life"?

I can't see an evolution pavilion at DAK. The ideas are so similar but i just don't think it fits in well.

And I can't really comment on that. Sadly i've never experienced wonders of life. My college program this spring was my first trip to WDW.
