Body Wars Removed, WOL Closed Forever

[MrNonacho]

Alright, I spoke with a Future World East manager about this. Body Wars has not been taken out. In fact, it will be running for a private event next month. Wonders of Life is not going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that UoE makeover, either.

 

[LongballMG]

thank you for the confirmation..

I think we could do ourselves a big favor and consider this thread closed

It actually started with SSE and UoE....it is just approaching their time again

I'm quite interested in how attractions are revised and changed over the years. And there does seem to be some sort of a cycle for reworking and improving the Future World pavilions in the past two decades. I made a map of FW with the years of pavilion openings and major renovation completions since the park first opened. As you can see, SSE, UoE, and espesially WoL are all due for a refurbishment of some sort. Even though Innoventions hasn't completely changed since '94, the exhibits are always changing so there's a difference there.

I know that Siemens will soon make changes to SSE, WoL's future is uncertain, but I don't think UoE needs to disappear. It's been 10 years and I still find it to be a humorous show, Ellen is as popular as ever, and energy still works well in FW. I think a small refurbishment to UoE is just what it needs- keep Ellen, keep the dinos, even jeep Jeopardy, just bring it into the 21st century.

RE: your map....TT should really be listed as 1997....as that was the original opening date.....even though it opened 2 years later.....it was refurbished with an intent to open in 1997

Body Wars was open last week. I dont know about this week though.
Cant see how it was taken out that fast.
Rumors

im kinda thinking since they have the space there. it will be a themed roller coaster maybe? since that seems to be the new "thing" in theme parks these days.

but who knows. hopefully imagineers will use there skills in the space they gain.


tis a shame tho. i have memories in both places...

Didn't Sea lose the Sea Cabs in 94?

Didn't WDI just build a themed roller coaster...?

Body Wars was open last week.

Not for park guests it wasn't (I don't know if there were any private events, though). Its last day of regular operation was New Years Eve.

I can confirm last thursday there was a corparate event there.

 

[Shaman]

So is it possible both the WoL and UE pavilions could go down to make way for one massive attraction?

We aren't that lucky :lol:

 

[wdwishes2005]

Does that mean Test Track is already coming up for an update again? lol. If UoE is...TT would be next after that.

TT hasn't been under since it opened. it is just getting a face lift and repaving.

anything is possible....since nothing is confirmed

 

[TinkerBell9988]

Wow, I feel really terrible about WoL... I know that the destruction to the pavillion is inevitable, but WoL was a big part of my childhood memories at EPCOT. Too bad.

In Body Wars itself, or the lounge above it that has ben used several times without touching a single thing in the attraction as it has seperate access into the rear of the building through a lobby with pretty mirrored elevators and an entire prep kitchen and a puppet show wagon?

First off - Test Track has been repaved several times since it open, so that's not totally true. Admittedly, its not had a long rehab.

But, this long rehab has the pavilion sporting a crane - since when does a simple fix-up require a crane?

If you had read my post carefully, you would have seen that I said, "I made a map of FW with the years of pavilion openings and major renovation completions since the park first opened." Hence, I put [March 17] 1999, the opening date of TT. Why would I put 1997 if that wasn't the opening date? It might have been intended, but.... it didn't happen.:lookaroun

Lee? Corrus? Chuck Norris? Any thoughts?
