It used to be.

I know. And it was awesome

So this popped up in my recommends and Dave Ensign claims someone at Disney sold Buzzy to a collector and someone else got mad and filed a police report.

Oh. The anonymous imagineer was *respected*. So, that's airtight.

And who again did they confirm this to? Another anonymous person? Was that person also *respected*?

I assumed David Ensign was a pretty decent source.

It would require significant investment at this point for Wonders to become a festival center again, which will never happen as they've already spent the money on CommuniCore Hall and want Wonders to be attraction space again. Wonders was only used as a festival center before because it was existing unused infrastructure, there's nothing in there to reuse anymore and anything new would be for an attraction.

I guess my question is, are there plans to ever actually make it happen? Or will it just sit and rot and be demolished eventually? The building has been entirely unused for years and been closed as a daily attraction for what, 20 years now? Kind of sad.

Because nothing says “reputable source” quite like a vlogger who uses the tag “World Famous” before their name.

He used to work at Disney and he is the guy that documented everything in Horizons.

The Play Pavilion? No that's not happening. The building will continue to sit and rot for the foreseeable future. Whether it gets a new attraction or demolished after that is really anyone's guess at this point, both are about equally likely.

At least they replaced the roof not too long ago.

And it didn't fix the leaks like they thought it would either, but you didn't hear that from me

Honestly, unless there’s actual 100% confirmation on what happened to Buzzy, we’re just beating a dead horse at this point by continuing to speculate and bringing it up.

I may have gotten overly excited on my post. Stolen or not I bet he shows up in some Disney auction in 40 years.

I bet they bulldoze it for a Rollercoaster in 2038

Permit filed today. Contractor is Balfour Beatty with an expiration of 12/31/2024.

1360 AVENUE OF THE STARS(WONDERS OF LIFE) - General Construction Package

Worth mentioning that this permit expired this week. Nothing new has been filed for Wonders since this permit. This project is very dead.

If the Body Wars volunteer is a woman, then I want to see what Star-Lord thinks of her (and have him take her place in a re-do.) But of course, I cannot unsee Chris Pratt as Mario and Garfield... so David Haytet would be the only choice.

I know this is a Wonders-adjacent thread so talking about Body Wars makes sense, but I think this kind of post would probably be best for a thread in the general discussion board. This thread is for the cancelled Play Pavilion project/updates on any development for Wonders (of which nothing is currently going on)

No but seriously what is this about?

 

[Agent H]

Just my ramblings. I'll try to keep it to myself or tone it down so it's not as confusing.

No i really am curious take it over to general discussion if you must but I wanna know

Now I’m sucked in too. This has veered into a weird place and now I can’t look away.

That's what I am trying to figure out..
