Well, everyone has different memories of stuff at WDW. It probably doesn't miss you, either. :lol:

Not sure about that little one. It's a full sphere, but I'm not sure whether it counts.

I was thinking we could end this thread on a nice, positive note.
Here's Wonders of Life for anyone that forgot to take pictures the last time you visited.
Thanks for the pics!

Just re-open Cranium Command.
Thats all I care about.
Actually... one of those bikes that you could ride through Disneyland. Open that too.

Even though I have enjoyed Cranium Command so many times, when I think of it I think of piloting a chicken. I hope that is really in Cranium Command! I'd love to have that movie on DVD. Martin??? :lookaroun

Nah - Met Life footed the not exactly small bill for it. And the most expensive corporate boardroom in the US at the time (eh, Jason??
The building is the parks 4th Geodisic dome (you know the other 3, right kids?) and apart from some leaks where the dome meets the support buildings I believe the structure is sound. Another good reason to re use a perfectly good facility.
Disney normally lets things stand until someone else will pay for demolition - the Skyway buildings and Horizons case in point. They didn`t have much choice with 20K.
Please write a book about WDW (or maybe you can suggest a book that has some of the interesting trivia you know).

And Making of Me and Goofy About Health. I'm okay without Body Wars.
You got it! The backstage structure isn`t a building so dosn`t count - in my world :lol:1. Wonders of Life
2. Tropics Greenhouse in Living with the Land
3. The top 3/4 of Spaceship Earth
4. The bottom 1/4 of Spaceship Earth
Eventually I plan a new tribute to the entire building, with new footage of the main and sub attractions. At my speed though it`s replacement will be open before I get round to it....

That won't be necessary, nor will it happen. By February 1st (if I have my dates correct), the entire WoL pavilion will have been handed over to Epcot Special Events, in which time they won't use any of the attractions. Its not like there is anything left to use, considering the condition of Body Wars and Cranium Command... It probably wouldn't be safe to ride Body Wars with the pods in the state they are (and I don't mean just from extended wear and tear). And Cranium Command wouldn't work to well without a preshow anyways...

What happened to Cranium Command's preshow? It's only a movie. I'm guessing the area is still there. All they would need to do is get the film rolling again. The only thing I saw missing in October was the signing, and that wouldn't be hard to replace.

From what I was told, the pre-show theater was taken apart... Thats questionable though. Body Wars on the other hand... :zipit:

just kidding, but now you've peaked my interest.Why would the pre-show be dismantled. It was just a room and screen. And what's going on with Body Wars. You know information....

How was the pre-show theater for Cranium Command taken apart? As far as I can remember it was just a room with a screen wall at one end and a projector built into a wall at the other. There was also a small half-wall or something that helped separate it from the entrance hallway. Am I correct or just missing some details?
Also, wasn't there a rumor floating round from a while back that the now "defunct" Body Wars area was being used as a testing facility for the supposed upcoming Star Tours 2.0 simulator/movie? Or was that debunked and I missed it? Thanks!
