Might as well tear the place down! I mean the only real outstanding attraction (Cranium Command) has already been ripped out. Go ahead and finish the rest of it off.

You've got it all wrong. The objective of Body Wars was to board vehicle Bravo 229 with Captain Braddock as your pilot, shrink down, meet up with Dr. Cynthia Lair who was observing the splinter, and bring her out safely.

pfft. . . Dr. Lair could have saved us all a lot of money and trouble by using the tweezers in the first place. :lol: Do the former designers of Body Wars work for NASA now? :lol:

I don't know, was it just maybe for events like the garden festival thing? Or are we getting something new?

Manage to pull off the greatest mission this place has ever seen! WELCOME HOME Two-Two-Niner!

All of this nonchalance for WoL...it's disheartening!! I'm among the few for which it holds fond memories. Me and the fam frequented Disney several times in the early to mid 90's, and to me WDW will never be quite as good or as magical as it was during that time (WoL, Horizons, the original UoE, 20,000 Leagues, and others included).
When Disney does finally decide on a plan of action for the pavillion here's hoping they come up with something SO EXCEPTIONAL, it'll leave us Wonders of Lifers proud and honored. (I do hope they decide to work with the dome though...)
For those of you who lost Adventurer's Club, I feel your pain. Surely you understand ours.

Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful, very fond memories of Wonders of Life. I loved Body Wars when I was little! But unlike its fellow Future Word East pavilions, its time came to be well past. Unfortunately they focused its entire design on what was popular in the 80s, instead of striving for that timeless futurism like they did with everything else. So it was a lot of fun for a while, but it became very outdated much sooner than it should have.

Ride maintenence has been in that building for well over a year. The old BW pods are sitting still with various parts and cardboard boxed under them.

CC's guts have been removed but the theatre (including Buzy and the set) is still all intact.

Epcot was and still is my favorite WDW park, but Wonders of Life has always seemed very cheesy and cheap. Even in the late 1980's it had the appearance and vibe of a pavilion done on the cheap, and it was noticeably inferior and cheaper than the previous Future World pavilions. And it didn't hold up well into the 1990's. Now in 2010 I can't really think of anything worth saving from this pavilion.
In my humble opinion, Wonders of Life is the first warning light of the Eisner era that things were changing and noticeably lowered standards were on the way for the 1990's and beyond. I see no reason to save what is left of that facility.

Because Horizons would have cost much more to refurb and with no sponsor Disney would have to pay for it. WOL was deemed in better condition, and still sponsored by MetLife when Compaq came in for M:S.

Marni could tell you better than me, but it basically came down to sponsorship with Horizons and its building/attraction.
EDIT: And Marni appears like Batman...
BUt WOL would be a perfect spot for that new Horizons/Space Mountain mission 2 pavillion that DLP almost got.

Wow...all you bitter old middle aged people. You're sitting here berating this poor guy for trying to save something he loves. Whether or not it works, I give him props for at least trying.
You guys are so mean it's like you're interrogating this poor person as if he's a member of Al Qaeda. Are you going to stone him if he doesn't or didn't provide a source?
Carry on dude! And if it doesn't work, at least you know you tried to do something positive as opposed to all these critics who sit at pin central all day as if their lives depend on it. Oh wait, you can't even make it to the parks because most of you troll this all day looking to boost your own egos w/how "sassy and smart" you are about Disney.

I agree. You people are quite rude. If you hate the wonders of life pavilion, then why even come to a post called: "Save the Wonders of Life"
[/QUOTE] So why couldn't Disney demo WoL instead of Horizons and build MS there? At the same time have a major refurb to Horizons. Seems reasonable. [/QUOTE]
Dont know if this quote thing worked, but I think Wonders of Life (in MY opinion) was better than Horizons. Now by now if i said that in front of a bunch of Disney Epcot fans, they'd kill me :lol:. But, think about it, Wonders of life had a Gift Shop, a Resteraunt, and 2 Major attraction (Cranium Command and Body Wars). Not to mention 4 other attractions and the fitness fairgrounds. I'm just saying Wonders of Life had more to offer than Horizons.
p.s. go to www.mousesurplus.com and they are selling a Horzons ride vehicle! If you are a "true fan" of horizons, buy it, make recreations of it, and see how much money it costs to even make the ride vehicles! A little hard on money for Disney to re-create Horizons huh?
P.S., horizons was still one of my fav. attractions...
