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

[marni1971]

So I heard somewhere that there are no plans thus far to use the old Body Wars and Cranium Command show buildings for new attractions. But if they do decide to put a new ride in there one day, it should most definitely be a simulator or trackless ride system based on either Wall-E, Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6, or Inside Out. Any other good ideas for that space?

Originality?

Nah. Never work.

 

[mikejs78]

Probably.

Let me ask you this: are there long term plans for this pavillion in existence and being actively considered? With the normal disclaimers and such....

Considered, yes. How far they’ll get I don’t know.

Moana ride confirmed!

Good plans?

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Good plans?

I doubt it

It's Disney. They keep things cheap.

…. Yeah, this doesn't sound good at all. I'd actually rather have Cranium Command and Body Wars back. And I almost barfed up my lunch after riding the latter one.

Did Disney forget this is called Futureworld? What's with all these things that have nothing to do with the future (Guardians, Incredibles, Wreck it Ralph, Zootopia)? Come on man! For the love of Eisner, what are they doing?

Body Wars was completely gutted out. There is nothing left of the ride vehicles and the area is used to store all of the festivals equipment when not in use.

Until they get the theme park rights to Marvel and FW East becomes Marvel-land.

Edit: Not advocating for this.

They will probably never get the rights back for the popular IP’s. And I have no idea what popular Marvel characters Disney can develop that could be used in WDW. @MisterPenguin - do you have any idea what hasn’t been on screen, not under Universals theme park umbrella and could be used in WDW?

This isn't entirely true. Our insiders have consistently said the cost of recent and ongoing ride construction is ridiculously high. Spending $200M+ to build a single ride isn't being cheap, it just means they are very poor at money management and reining in certain groups who overspend. If the rides cost what they should other cuts that make them look cheap would not need to be made.

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Body Wars as a whole is gone. All that’s left is the bare bones structures. Any remaining props you’ve seen in old Urbex videos are gone

Yeah sure.

Disney has many many problems but keeping things cheap is not even remotely one of them.

Id love anything in the right park and aspect for deadpool... i could totally get in on that.

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Deadpool would be pretty cool, unfortunately I just don’t think it’s “Parks Material”

Guardians is marginally less inappropriate. And if universal can build an awful Fast and Furious ride, why can’t we have Deadpool?

In all seriousness, the challenge with him is he’s ALWAYS crass with one-liners dripping in innuendo and swear words. If you clean him up, he’s not Deadpool. Peter Quill doesn’t HAVE to use a swear word of a sexual nature in every sentence to still be himself.

I’m really sad that he won’t be able to interact with Thor on our ride...

Because Universal won’t make such a bad mistake again. Those who were told they were wrong now know they were.

I vote Deadpool and Martin Short to host the making of me game where you guide the sperm to fertilize an egg. Someone thought "making of me" was parks material in 1989 so it is not like Epcot is a church.

It's baffling why they haven't done anything substantial with Doctor Strange. (yet) Solid IP and easy enough to build into an attraction.
