It would be possible to use the Body Wars and Cranium Command spaces without using the main floor as access, but it would be quite difficult. Looking at an aerial image, the building extensions are all on the far side of the dome from the main guest areas (BW along the top, CC on the right), meaning it would be a long walk to get back there:So, I mentioned this in another thread, but this is a more appropriate place..
Is it possible/feasible for the main indoor WoL building to continue as is (festival center) but for the unused show building for Body Wars to be repurposed as a new ride? Specifically, I wonder if they could put a new simulator ride (like a clone of Storm Riders, for example) in that space but redirect the queue so that you can enter from the outside instead of from inside the WoL building.
IIRC, the Body Wars space isn't being used and is just sitting their empty. Epcot needs more rides -- especially with the FP+ tiering/capacity issues. Reusing the existing space would be far cheaper than building a new ride (right up TDO's alley).
I'm not naive enough to expect TDO to give up their precious festival space, but I don't see that as a barrier to using Body Wars for a new ride if you can use an alternate entrance for the ride. I don't know the floor plan of the pavilion enough to know if what I am saying would be feasible.

Additionally, the BW simulators have been (will be in the very near future?) removed and sent to HKDL for use in their upcoming Iron Man attraction in Tomorrowland. By the time they build something new inside those structures, they might as well build an entirely new structure, since it's often more expensive and technically challenging to retrofit (WoM/TT; Horizons/M:S)
