Missing EPCOT Rides

Hmmm ok, I guess. but the "Venetian canals" in Vegas don't exactly look authentic. I'm trying to think how this would work given the layout of Italy pavilion...

There is space between Italy and USA, so enter the queue in front of the fountain, have the queue and station between the two pavilions, and have the main section indoors behind the pavilion. For the gondolas to cut through the pavilion, you could make a canal between Tutto Italia and the shops, with 2 or 3 bridges, and the boats circle around back.

I think a dark ride or indoor boat ride works in basically any Epcot pavilion, since every country there has enough history to make a basic plot featuring Disney characters.

I would love to see a Mulan-based dark ride in the China pavilion. I know people hate IP in the pavilions, but in my opinion the story fits well enough that you could focus on the humans and setting from the movie while ignoring the magical elements.

I think Japan could use a boat ride based on Kurashiki and Setonaikai National Park. It's a picturesque area of the country based around islands, water, and canals.
