Forgotten WoL Rehab?

Is it me, or was there a forgotten Wonders of Life rehab in the early-mid 90's? Why? Here's some reasons:

I've been viewing video of the pavillion from 1990. And, well, it's a little different than today. See in:

*Sometime between '89 and '94, a Cranium Command sign got placed outside (recently removed)
*The signage archway was removed and turned into a signpost
*The line barriers to get in were removed.
*The Anacomical Players got remodeled
*Pure and Simple got remodeled (slightly, only)
*The Cranium Command facade got a major relift
*Body Wars removed their queue preshow. (or at least I don't remember one last time in 2001)
*Probably a part of the EPCOT Center change to Epcot, all signs of the pavillion's "logo" got removed.
*Frontiers of Medicine got a facelift (maybe it's just the lighting in the video)
*The people stopped going inside (all right, j/k on that one)

Seriously, much of WoL looks different from its original 1989 look. Am I missing something here?...

preshow video might have been discontinued when the queue is short??

and the fact it might mention Met life a few dozen more times....
heck your traveling in Mets...

I would figure it had gotten a referbish once.. but now it is getting touched up for something...

Body Wars queue always plays its video - it has pauses where it just shows the MET (minaturized exploration technology) logo between the segments. Most people walk right past it though. Its located on pairs of monitors between the red and blue decontamination chambers.

I think Wonders changed around the time Energy got redone. The now-gone Dino sign for Ellen's Energy Adventure seems to have been placed where the now-missing support for the old arch would be. The arch was placed atop two matching support, the remaining one has the current entrance sign atop it on the right-hand side when facing the building.

I think it also happened when things went from Metropolitan Life to "MetLife" as the old arch said Metropolitan (spelled all the way out) and the new one has a spot simply for "Met."
