None of those pics are of the 94 finale sets currently hidden by curtains sadly, they’re a few rooms further down. At the top you can see what remains of their original lunar surface scene idea, and then the last photo would have shown this thread’s namesake space station if all those light...

I'll give you that preshow 2 and the load area are nice. Everything else (including the exit, almost forgot about that one!) is bare walls, screens, and lights. A couple glass display cases in 10% of the queue don't make up for the unthemed 90% to me

Even all these years later it is insane to me that they spent an unfathomable amount of money on this ride and it just does not show. The queue is mostly bare walls, some screens, and RGB lights. The ride itself is some kind of cross breed between Aerosmith and Space Mountain for theming. Did...

Structural improvements. Digging way back but iirc Martin had mentioned the entire Play Pavilion project was more of a trojan horse thing to justify the work the actual WoL building itself needed. All that work was finished (aside from the dome roof again allegedly lol), and the attraction part...

Don’t think anybody can give you a definite answer either way. OP says they believe it’s going, but there’s a handful of reasons to believe either side.

Unfortunately the latter, the windows in the Magic Eye lobby are still mostly blocked out too. Another beautiful space in the Imagination pavilion ruined by a factor that no longer exists, seems to be a common theme.

I don’t really see what would be exciting about EPCOT trading an empty building for an empty dirt lot

Demolished. I had heard whispers of activity there about a month or two ago which I was led to believe were discussions on another gut job, then this thread popped up which had me worried about a full demo. Body Wars is still an active facility, and I doubt they would go through the effort of...

I think festivals was always a poor use of the WoL space, but it was still always pleasant going in there and seeing all that stuff. Certainly better than what’s going on there now. The story goes that EPCOT operations refused to surrender the Body Wars space to WDI because it was seen as an...

Dome still empty, Play still canceled. Food and Wine just ended so all that stuff is making its way into the warehouse formerly known as Body Wars. One would hope them going through the effort to load all that stuff in suggests they have no imminent demo plans.

“if it’s legit” is really doing a lot of heavy lifting here lol. Based on this thread’s reaction to the last piece of “trust me bro” info from Patrick I don’t think anybody will be satisfied with this one

What I've heard regarding Coco in Mexico is that their idea was rearranging the flume so that the load platform is on the side of the building facing Odyssey, and then install a new build queue in that area so that it doesn't come at the cost of everything else inside the pavilion. No idea how...

It just comes down to logistics. You can't save everything, and the mobile was a huge piece. It was assembled in pieces in Maryland and then welded together inside Wonders at the last possible second (weeks before opening). How do you take that down and safely remove it from the building...

Gut instinct says it was destroyed. I've heard everything from it was fully preserved, segments were preserved, segments were taken by people on the project team, and fully destroyed. I would like to imagine pieces of it are still floating around somewhere, but I only know of a single digit...

Play Pavilion sets were recently destroyed, all that's in Wonders is a bunch of steel frames for facades that don't exist. No show equipment ever got installed, it would be an even more difficult hack job to work around the existing Play Pavilion infrastructure on top of fitting something into...
