Wonders of life?

[Thrill Seeker]

From what I gather, refurbishing WoL seems to be out of the question. The most likely scenario would be a demolishing and new pavilion being built on it's ashes, but perhaps the gold dome could stick around and the building could be gutted and put to better use than just as a temporary events space.

 

[Uncle Lupe]

Seems like the pavilion/building itself is in decent shape so there is always hope for it to be used for something in the future other then crowd control.

WOL geek here! :king:

star tours II! Sadly Cranium Command just sits there getting dusty. (hopefully
For those of you horizons fans who think it's all disney's fault for getting rid of horizons, it actually WASN'T! Wikipedia research man! :drevil:

they HAD to close it, for one the roof was having majour leakings. Now you say, "big deal! replace the roof!" The HUGE problem was.... it was on top of a sink hole! - DRAMATIC MUSIC - so that isn't ENTIRELY disney's fault! If you would like to buy a horizons ride vehicle you can go to www.mousesurplus.com

Wait a second wonders of life "geek"

why would Disney even consider building an attraction on top of a sink hole. WoL is NOT on top of a sinkhole. And wikipedia? That is an inacurate source. You could write Anything on there. I could go on there right now and type in "magicmaya is stupid." I wouldn't use wikipedia as a source.

What was? Horizons?? Wrong.

Don`t trust Wiki. It`s only as good as the misinformation people can type.

Wikipedia does get stuff wrong too often. I like to use it to look up a quick reference or person, but in my experience every page has at least a few incorrect facts.

By the way, is there a comprehensive WDW wiki?

Ok so now WoL was on top of a sink hole? Apparently all of Epcot is under one because I also heard Horizons and The Odyssey were built on top of sinkholes too...:brick:

 

[mastif]

he is somewhat right about the "sinkhole" same with test track. Don't forget that whole area used to be one big swamp. This is what i heard from TT management when I worked at epcot.

Actually, (and I'm sure many people will correct me if I'm wrong) to my knowledge, Odyssey was where it was because of a sink hole. The building was originally meant to be closer to the Future World-World Showcase bridge, but a sink hole opened up when construction started, moving the building back a ways. It's also why the Future World East pond is much larger and asymmetrical compared to the Future World West pond. I've also heard that one corner of Universe of Energy is built on some very unstable land.

Rumor has it that it's being reopened as a retro tribute to 1980's shopping malls, sponsored by Kay-Be Toys and Orange Julius.

You forgot Jamesway!

The only thing falling into a sinkhole is the time I wasted reading this thread.

 

[WondersOfLife]

GAHHH!!!! I meant Horizons was on top of a Sinkhole! :dazzle: and yes it is true, i talked with a cast member at epcot.


GEESH! people made a big deel about that! :brick:


It also had leak problems (<--- HORIZONS)

No, Horizons wasn't. That is nothing more than an urban legend.

Nope, the CM put out some wrong info.

UoE and Oddesy, though, THEY have Sinkholes.

 

[Omnimover]

So if I may ask, is the Cranium Command theatre still essentially intact back there, or have they dismantled the interiors, removed the AA's, etc?

To think of poor Buzzy, hanging there in his chair, wondering what happened to his 80's B-List celebrity friends...

No, it isn`t true. There was no sinkhole under Horizons.

The only pavilion sinkhole is a small one under Energy, and it`s been known about since construction.

universe of energy isn't on top of a sinkhole. but if ya'll want to believe that i don't really care.


back to the fact the Cranium Command is it there are not? Yes it is still there. I heard from one guy here on the internet (forgot link sorry) and said that he snuck behind the walls and got into the theatre. He said that everything (including buzzy) is just sitting there getting dusty.

UoE is on a sinkhole. :shrug:

You would think that with senior members (including Martin of all people) telling you it was, you wouldn't be so thickheaded. :brick:

I'm pretty sure Martin Smith is right, of all people.


And yes, CC is still there. Hope you believe me.

No, Horizons didn`t have a sinkhole.

Yes, Energy has a minor sinkhole.

Yes, CC is indeed still mostly intact. It looks a bit of a mess but on the most part the majority of the main show area in still in place. The AAs are drained and so look a little sorry for themselves.

Believe what you like. Some people know quite a bit. Some don`t. And I`m not one to lie.
