I don't know. It doesn't seem like they could fit 8 more without seriously crowding the place. 3 maybe
World Showcase was designed with 20 or 21 "slots" for countries. Each slot is essentially the same width. There are currently 11 countries, plus the International Gateway, plus World Showplace (the former Millennium Village).
Many current World Showcase countries have a slot between them. There are exceptions. China and Norway are immediately adjacent to each other. The slot between the UK and France is filled with the International Gateway. The slot between Canada and the UK is filled with World Showplace (a tent-like, temporary building which could easily be removed). And I'm not counting the Outpost, which is little more than a small gift shop.
Today, some of the slots have filler attractions, such as train layout adjacent to Germany or the boat adjacent to Norway.
I think that the American Adventure might look crowded in if the slots on either side of that structure were used for additional countries, but the original plan said the the American Adventure should not be any wider than the other countries.
The fact remains that there are around eight slots left.
Of course, nobody -- not Disney and not corporate or governmental sponsors -- seems to be in any hurry to provide funds to add more countries to World Showcase, so this discussion is only academic.
It was just a thought...this is a rumor board....sorry if I upset ya
Peace
You didn't upset me. And I'm sorry if my choice of words came across as insulting you, rather than just stating a strong opinion.
I think there's a fundamental difference between a thrill ride that is "themed" (decorated) and a story-telling attracton that happens to include a physical thrill element of some sort. Rock-N-Roller Coaster and most roller coasters at Six Flags parks are examples of the former. Maelstrom is an example of the latter.
Every World Showcase attraction should celebrate the country in which it is located. Simply "theming" a roller coaster does not accomplish that.
