So to get back on the topic... anyone seen anything obvious happening yet? I'd assume it's waiting until after the F&WF but just curious.

Dumpsters and bulldozers are out back with the area sectioned off from anyone trying to access that area.

Just so you know, MET = Miniaturization Exploration Technologies, the fictional research entity as mentioned in Body Wars. The 'layoffs' reference is toungue-in-cheek tragic now that Body Wars is closed. *le sigh*

Ouch, had they all ready removed the old Simulators once Star Tours was completed or is that being done now?
I do not disagree with those that say it was getting old and needs to be torn down.. just put something else in its place! The could still do something health related. They could have a bones/muscle area, they could have a respiratory/nervous system area. Plus, there are so many amazing things with modern medicine. They could show how robots operate on people.
They could also go a totally different direction. Weather pav sounds awesome!! Imagine a place for kids to pretend they are a weather person. They could show how meteorologists forecast the weather.. possibilities are really endless. Just about anything would be better than what it is now!

If I recall, MET was the fictional company of Body Wars. Also, I was in the WoL Pavillion last week for F&W and I must say, they turned the Festival Center into a great place. It doesn't look run down at all. Brought back a few memories from the old days though. It was kind of weird seeing the queue and archways for where Body Wars used to be.

That's a good question. Let's start a countdown for when HP's sponsorship ends. If not Apple, there's another company in this picture that would be a great sponsor:
Virgin
You know, I can't think of a better sponsor for that New Horizons ride rumor... That was spontaneously made up a page ago.
Richard Branson - All about Space(travel), the future of technology, and he's even involved in underwater living. Just saying...

Virgin is a great idea, internationally this company has links with many industries and can appeal to so many different people.

Still there but slowly being dismantled.

So I recently heard that the Body Wars simulators, after being salvaged for parts, have had their empty sim shells removed. Someone had live tweeted it an evening ago as part of the demolition effort. Any confirmation on the matter?

Just got back from a trip to WDW and specifically went to WOL for a nostalgic visit while it was open for F&W. While I was wondering around the section previonsly known as FOM, I got into a discussion with one of the senior cast members about the demolition going on and she pretty much affirmed what raven said. The gutting of the exterior buildings containing BW and CC are already well underway.
Being a big CC fan, I wanted to take my last opportunity and see if I could snag any pics of the theater before it was completely gone, but it was too late. The open queue that used to be curtained off as a food prep area for F&W is completely walled off and the prep area took over the CC theatre exit.
As far as I can tell, there won't be any more new pictures of Buzzy until we see him (or parts of him) on eBay.

Sucks to be Buzzy, I hope someone restores him and gives him a new home. He could be Disney Archive material. Sad to see him buried in his grave after five years of being 'starved' between festivals. #boohoo

They also have an airline, and that buzz targeting ride is looking kinda dated in Tomorrowland. I wonder if they could a ride about flight in there?
Nah it'd never work.

You know, if I put my Horizon's fanboi hat on, I would say it could be a cool combination of Horizon's, Delta Dreamflight with some of the Space Pavillion ideas that never happened. There's so much that could be done to help FW it's insane.
I always thought it would be cool to put Space Mountain 2 (Mission: MARS??) in EPCOT and you'd have 2 SM's in Disney parks. Tear down M:S - add a Horizon's inspired dark ride and Space Mountain 2. Do that and you wouldn't even have to worry about the empty WOL building or the outdated UOE for years.

Looks like the big boys have already found something else to sponsor

Shucks, heard the sad news that Buzzy got evicted from the CC theater. Plus side is, he could be restored and archived in a better home, after five years of lazy eye and work deprivation. I wonder if his spirit lingers on somehow.
