Basically, that sounds about right.

I may or may not be up for that -- last night I fell asleep at 9 and woke up today at 4:30am, maybe tonight will be 4:30am and wake up 9am lol

Obviously for Inside Out or a triumphant return of Buzzy

Bonus Question: What would you add to the pavilion to not only update it, but also give it more meat?

So Wonders of Life is more of a festival pavilion about health than it is a 'science' driven pavilion like some of its other surrounding counterparts (maybe that's why it's now a festival pavilion

I wouldn't have designed it like this in the first place (granted with unlimited funds) I would have gone with their first option which was a dark ride through the human body called The Incredible Journey Within

There was supposed to be a large animatronic heart as well that would beat as guests go by but it would have probably met the same fate as the Yeti considering it didn't even get out of blue sky phase.

Body Wars would become an Inside Out based ride where we follow Joy and Sadness through Long Term Memory

Reuse. I would make it into the exploration pavilion. You see the difference between this and the land is the land, is well about earth and preserving it, the exploration pavilion is all about exploring exotic places.
attractions
the pilots: replacing cranium command, this show will be about a group of alien pilots trying to fly over locations on earth, only to fail and scare people instead. Think a multi-show timekeeper.
aquatic adventure: this simulator replacing goofy about health will have guests go on a wild adventure through the seas.
the great space adventure: replacing part of fitness fairground, coach's corner and body wars, this dark ride will take guests through an undiscovered alien planet.
imaginative landscapes: replacing making of me, this show will star figment and dreamfinder showing how the combination of real locations and the imagination can create many landscapes, both in reality and fiction.
sensory funhouse: an updated version of the original, this one will teach how a locations smells, textures, sounds, and looks can influence a person.
mickey's world tour: replacing the anatomical players, this show will star mickey as he travels across the world and meets various disney characters.
wondercycles: a revamped version of the originals, with added vr and many different locations to "bike" through.
world quiz: replacing the met lifestyle review, this quiz will offer a free hat to the person who can correctly answer the most fun facts about the world and cultures.
the adventure's club: A revamp of the original, with a dining facility and gift shop.

Interesting concept!

I would love to see it as a new pavilion dedicated to a newer field of science.

Computer technology and robotics have both exploded in the past decade or two. And neither really is represented in Epcot in any meaningful way.

In an idea world, I would've done that and put the Tron Rollercoaster here and add the Guardians of the Galaxy to that expansion pad in Tomorrowland. But I digress.

I also had an idea for a classic Epcot style omnimiver dark ride themed to the internet. It would have a cheesey comedic take on it like World of Motion.

You would ride through a series of scenes depicting stuff on the web in a "real" style. Like Wreck it Ralph does with games.

Google is a large library with dedicated researchers. Online shopping is portrayed as a real store with optical illusions making it seem infinite. A cheesey 90s comedy club is used to represent memes. A party where all the guests represent parodies of different forms of social media. Stuff like that. All very cheesey and funny while still teaching the history of the internet and stuff.

Tron would’ve fit in just as nicely as GotG.

Tron is at least (loosley) based on real world science and technology not magical space gems.
Tron is science fiction
GotG is science fantasy

Of course, I also say this as someone who isn't against IP in Epcot if done right.

 

[spacemt354]

Characters were always in Epcot -- it's just how they are used that's the issue.

 

[spacemt354]

Characters have never been in World Showcase?

So... how 'bout that opening ceremony last night?
