Wonders of Life
I don't quite understand the ignorance behind the lack of interest in the (old) Wonder's of Life. Simple logic show why it was empty and simple logic could be used to make it just a popular as the Land now is.
============================
The primary ride, Bodywars, took you on a (sickening to many) ride through the human bloodstream through the heart and to the brain. Quite gross (in a bad way), and completely unexciting. Nothing visually stimulating, nothing very memorable. Although initially an exciting ride, perhaps, in the long term, though, who would want to ride it again.
If this ride was (simply and inexpensively) changed to a 'shuttle' flight through the universe exploring the various 'wonders of life', the wonders that bring us awe and make us really appreciate life.
See the shuttle take off from it's hanger at Epcot then enter 'hyperspace' to visit the first wonder, and then another (giant falls, bridges, city-scapes, underwater, with glimpses of a mermaid and a possible underwater city, ), ...
The final wonder could be joining a real shuttle during launch, quickly approaching it during take-off, shooting through its exhaust then straight up side by side, have the ride get a bit bumpy so we hyperdrive ahead to the space station...the driver turns around to 'comfort' the passengers, only to have Stitch show up and start pressing buttons, hyperdriving us to some strange unknown place in the galaxy filled with swirling colored gases, comets, spaceships stopping to oogle the ship, until the captain reverses the hyperdrive and lands us back home at Epcot. The 'imaginary' parts would simply reflect our imaginations, which are always trying to make things more than they really are.
Like Sourin', people would want to ride this over and over again.
=============================================
Although a wonderful, cute and educational movie, there's not much reason to see "Making of Me" over again. There definitely no reason for it to take up valuable floorspace when it could easily be moved to a new outside theatre (if kept at all).
This would open up the main floor for more exhibits and dining area, and more dining options need to be added (like the Land), featuring many unusual treats (bring back Bambi stew) as well as some 'common' things that everyone can enjoy.
==============================================
The only attraction at WoL that was worthy of repeat viewings was Cranium Command, keep it like it is.
==============================================
Maybe Lilo can 'host' this pavilion? She'd need her side-kick of course.
==============================================
Maybe cut another hole in the outside wall to another theatre, a bigger Omni-Max theatre featuring a compilation of the many Omni-Max films that explored the wonders of life. Where you can just lean back and enjoy the wonders of the world.
Considering the many Omni-Max films that Disney was introducing a few years ago, I always wondered why they didn't build an Omni-Max theatre at WDW?!? There's not even one in Orlando (there's only a giant screeen theatre).
