Anything new planned for World Showcase in Epcot???

I will be heading to WDW in about 4 weeks and was reading over several threads on this board and had a question about Epcot. It has been about 20 years since a new Country has been added to World Showcase or a new attraction. In recent years several new attractions have been added to future world (much needed), yet nothing has really changed or been added to World Showcase (even the 360 movies are 20 yrs old). Has anyone heard anything about additions or renovations to World Showcase? New Country? New Rides? Rehabs? While I realize thrill rides have been what Disney has mainly added lately (Mission Space, Test Track, Rockin Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest), adding some dark rides would be a good idea in my opinion as not everyone is looking for a thrill ride and World Showcase seems like a good candidate...

I have read that some of the 360 movies will be undergoing changes for Epcots 25th Anniversary, which I believe is in 2007. I haven't heard anything new about countries being added except for a few unfounded rumors, but I really wish that they would add Greece! A country with such a rich history and beauty would be great to see, plus it would save me the long, dreaded flight to the actual country lol!

It seems unlikely that a new pavilion will be added. I doubt there is a viable business case to be made for something that extreme. Disney's incoming CEO has made it clear that the focus will be on enhancing the assets they have, not building more assets. Epcot is more than big enough -- any investment they make at Epcot, therefore, would be logically directed towards enhancing what's there, instead of expanding.
