My family of 4 are all sporting purple MBs for our trip starting Sunday!

Hey,
You're not totally right. They were plans for rides in both pavilions, indeed. But Showbuildings were never built. Germany has only the lobby area of the planned attraction which is now breakroom and some backstage stuff. But space is pretty limited in that pavilion. The planned show building for germany was intended to be were now Performing Arts is (the space behind the tree line between Germany and Italy, were the miniture trains are).

Interesting that this would pop up on my feed today, as I'm sitting looking at a standard purple MagicBand. Lol.

Some of your facts are incorrect.

There are in fact two never-used show buildings in World Showcase: One in Germany and one in Japan. These were constructed for planned but never built attractions,

Neither Japan nor Germany ever had those built. Germany did have a planned river boat ride but it never got built including the building.
Fuji film wanted to build something in Japan that would be like the Matterhorn but Kodak was already Disneys film and camera sponsor so that never happened.

There is indeed an empty show building at Japan. It's huge.
