squeeeeeWould this be the appropriate place to say I've just received an hour or two of great quality, first generation footage of the Wonders building, shot over its last three days of operation?
Including every inch of the Body Wars attraction from mural to exit corridor, with several passes shot in-ride with the motion base disabled?
Coming next year
Veggie veggie, fruit fruit...
That's coming soon to a video near you too
I pretty much agree if you talk about Body Wars in isolation, but I meant it relative to WoL as a whole. There was quite a substantial staff in that building, as I recall.
I particularly enjoyed your most recent one on UoE as it's my favorite classic Epcot attraction. Thanks for that and I'm looking forward to this one!That's coming soon to a video near you too
I hope you bring up the Figment comics in the new Imagination video. I hope you got a chance to buy the hard covered versions.I've used the 82 blueprints of the IW in my forthcoming video
Often blueprints are left just lying around. There was a whole set of Canada ones in the attic space of Le Cellier. And a lot lying around Food Rocks.
Apparently.
That Pavilion needs a breath of fresh air someday.
This photo breaks my heart.especially knowing some of it's history
Back up the Star Ship friend. How did Body Wars use Star Tours tech several years before Star Tours ever even existed. Seems to me that Star Tours was the thief in this one. At one point, I think there were three bays for Body Wars each one had at least three CM loading and unloading as well as directing to locations. Maybe toward the end they weren't running all three bays. I really don't know. I'm sure that was a factor, especially if no one was going to it, but, the real CM presence was in the center area where all the little shows were.
Didn't know that, however, I still don't understand what the hell difference it makes. Should there be an absolutely never used system for every single ride ever created? I guess I just don't see the problem. If the system works for the ride, shouldn't it be used. Even though I don't agree with the idea I can almost understand the upset about there being a Star Tours in both places, but, even that is a lame thing, so, I guess I'll just move on.
I will tell the truth, the first time I rode Body Wars I was amazed. I am fortunate that I have never been affected by motion sickness like some were, but, it was just mind boggling to me. Admittedly, at the time, although a 43 year old adult, I didn't get out much and was totally impressed with the technology.
It was MUCH rougher than Star Tours. I personally don't have good memories regarding Wonders of Life which is why while it is a shame that it closed I can't get too worked up about it, like I can for many other parts of Epcot. What happened to Horizons, though I never rode it seems like a far bigger crime to me. especially seeing as how lackluster Mission Space ended up and I could talk for hours about what they did to Spaceship Earth in 2007.(Though I will concede it was better than what could have happened.)
I have to admit that after riding that ride so many times I cannot begin to count, I never saw one person get sick. That doesn't mean that they weren't close to being so, but, as I said, I never witnessed a single incident of actual sickness. It was rougher then Star Tours though. I order of mildness to intense in the Orlando area. The mildest was Star Tours, followed by Body Wars, but, the over all super winner was Back to the Future in Universal. That one could knock your socks off. Still loved it though except for that one time when there was a maintenance crew working below the screen. They left the outside door open and if you looked over the edge of the ride vehicle you could see them and the bright light coming through the door. That kind of distracted from the ride a little. In fairness, I saw the same thing on the GMR once, in the room that had the radio towers broadcasting Willard Scott, I think it was. But we were sitting still at the time.
