When did they get rid of it and why?

It was a gump.

It made people sick, literally. The combination of internal organ scenery with the motion didn't make a pleasant experience for many. And there was a major scene where your submarine was being pulled toward the heart valves (which could crush the tiny ship) and the back-forth motion in time with each heartbeat was really, really nauseating. And the story was a one-and-done kind of thing. Very plot-focused, lots of dialogue, not particularly engaging.
Ahhh I see. I think it’s a great concept that would be better suited for a dark ride with some physical thrills. The scenery doesn’t have to be so true to nature. It could be a romanticized view of the inside of the human body. Lol. Playful with some color.

The whole Wonders of Life closed in 2007 I believe.

Cranium Command wasn't just the best thing in the pavilion; it was the best thing at WDW.

Actually as a kid my aunt nicknamed me Buzzy because of the character from that attraction. It will forever hold a special place in my heart (or brain).

When I first witnessed General Knowledge calling a roomfull of WDW guests "Meatheads" and "Miserable Toads," the General instantly became my all-time favorite Disney character.
I’m kind of upset that I will never get to experience EPCOT in its hey day. Built by the same geniuses who brought us DL. I’ve said it before, from what I’ve read it sounds like EPCOT was and maybe still kind of is the Disneyland of Florida. MK is just a less charming clone of DL but EPCOT was special and all original like Disneyland was here.
There is just something about a first take or lightning in a bottle. It can’t be replicated.

The humor was so advanced for Disney at the time. It's got attraction legend status for me.

Having gotten to experience it, I don't think anything will ever come close. Certainly not while Chapek is at the helm. It lives on for me in videos and having most of the Future World soundtracks that I play on repeat on the morning drive into work. Nothing will ever beat it.
That’s how I feel about Disneyland. Especially from the 80s through the mid 90s

I think DL peaked with Indy.
I can respect that. I think the case can also be made for even earlier like sometime between Splash and Indy where you still had the peoplemover and skyway and less crowds and a peaceful NOS at night.

For sure. Riding the Peoplemover at MK is still such a treat.

It's kind of like Disneyland is entering a dark "subtraction by addition" phase of existence.

Haha sorry! It was the first one I found in my hasty google search.
You know what really grinds my gears?
People walking diagonally in front of you in a parking lot while you re in the car waiting for them to move their @$$. I’m not telling you to run but have some decency and at least take the shortest route from point A to point B. Im busy and have a post on WDW Magic I need to get to.
