If Switzerland became an EPCOT World Showcase pavilion, what would you want in it?

Goldfinger about to air on BBC-TV. Has some of the better Swiss film scenes ever shot, imo.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the one you see mentioned all over the place around the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
We didn't do the Schilthorn as we'd already spent a ton to go up to the Jungfraujoch, but the shops in Mürren had James Bond stuff.

We missed the Schilthorn too. Piz Gloria.

What a wonderful idea! Chocolate shop and a roller coaster nodding to the mountains in the country.

There's space between the China and German pavilions.

And if you think "most" Americans go ahead and learn geography on their own post 8th grade? Yeah, right.

I learned the capitals of Europe on my own in college because of a Sporcle quiz.

Wasn't that ear-marked for a boat ride for the Germany pavilion?

I think that would've been in the back of the German pavilion

Google maps shows construction going on in the area, but for what I don't know.

I know that the building exists and that up until recently, the line entrance was actually quite evident in the back of the pavilion. As of late, it has been completely plastered over, so you'd never know...

May just be a construction site for the stuff for the World Showcase Lagoon? I'm looking at it in 3D view.

All I can uncover on the issue is the artist's conception of what the river cruise would have looked like...

That would be a great addition to the Germany Pavilion. Lots of folks do European river cruises nowadays. Twenty-five years ago there was almost no such thing, and now there are literally hundreds of them.

I am of Swiss heritage, but I don't know a lot about Swiss culture besides bobsledding and Ricola.

I would love to see a Switzerland at Epcot.

Since it appears that Imagineering may be back in business, perhaps this idea might get traction.

Switzerland has a little Switzerland as well….

Thanks for the memories! We vacationed in Ouray a few years ago. Not surprisingly, what we remember most was our drive over the Million Dollar Highway.

SOME sort of high profile ride!

And definitely a chocolate shop!

Kicking this thread up, hoping someone in Imagineering might get motivated...
