EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

[GladToBeHear]

What if connectors were built so that both Mission Space and Guardians exited into the old WOL building and it was reimagined as a Intergalactic Space Port or Cosmos Pavilion...with a few new attractions and shows... to tie the Outer Space/Space Travel concept into the quadrant of World Whatever it is called this week.

It really needs to be connected to M:S to make that more of a complete experience.

So what is going up behind the walls? Is it all just the Moana area?

They could do much better than a massive meet & greet/play area. Health and fitness seems pretty timeless to me. They had a good thing and it needed updates and refreshes, not mothballs and destruction.

they even have baymax for an amazing IP tie in.

What's even more annoying is that they have an IP that fits it like a glove.

SO I am pretty new to the parks (Dec 2019), is this the area behind all the walls (not Moana)?

This site is for the former Play Pavilion project, planned replacement for the Wonders of Life pavilion which housed some health themed attractions up until it closed in 2007. It is behind walls between Cosmic Rewind and Mission: Space, but not part of the active work in the center of the park.

The walls in the center of the park are for the Moana walkthrough and a new multi purpose building called CommuniCore Hall, as well as some new walkways.

Can't wait to get a frame for my PLAY! poster.

At the shortest point, it's only about 70' from the two pavilions to the edge of the WoL dome, so it's not such a crazy thought. Making the dome of WoL similar to the dome in the queue of Cosmic Rewind (only on a much grander scale) and be a giant planetarium could be pretty neat. Maybe a good oppertunity for a company like SpaceX to be a sponsor?

Plus they could just put more of the interactive stuff into the DisneyQuest/NBA building for cash instead.

Make the Park Hopping Plus option mean something again.

IMO it should be BARcade theme based around Game Central Station from Wreck it Ralph.

I like that idea

I'd love that building (in DS) to turn into game central station, and you could walk into different interactive environments.

That would be great in DHS, but not Wreck It Ralph between Mission Space and Guardians Of The Galaxy... at least those two have a "Space" theme... While Wreck It Ralf has a video game/racing theme...

What my previous post was referring to was the  N o Body's Around Experince building at the Springs no WoL..

 

[Bocabear]

Ahh Ok, got it!!
And I would agree with that. A reminder of another recent flop.

I think WOL looks a lot like PROGRESS LAND ( COP pavilion ) from the 1964 worlds fair. Id love to see COP moved to WOL building and cleaned up. It could work well in EPCOT. But it’s a hugeeeee pipe dream that’ll never happen.

I was just watching a recent pov video of the Epcot monorail line and they have kept the narration that the play pavillion still exists...

New monorail narration has been recorded but isn't live yet - they remove mention of it in the upcoming spiel.

Even tho I just made a post about transportation Narrations did they mention who the new voice is?
