First of all, how busy is it there right now, generally speaking? This time of year, it would normally be dead until probably next weekend.
I have to admit I'm a little surprised by the complete and utter ambivalence people have towards WoL. I was in there Easter of 05, and while it was busier than 4 or 5 other people, it was not nearly as packed as any other pavilion on Easter Sunday. The main reason I wanted to go there was because I knew it would probably be the last time, before it changed into something else. Or else, it would never be open again when I was there.
I mean, I understand the ambivalence to a degree. Nothing's changed in there since forever, and no attempt's been made to spruce it up beyond general cleaning & upkeep. It feels stale. Even worse, since Epcot has changed so drastically over the past 10 years, it feels more...
educational 
than most of the other pavilions. More earnest, like it really REALLY hopes it will somehow connect with you. Like the new kid in school who desperately wants to be everybody's best friend, and he's not a bad sort but you can feel his need to be liked, and part of you wants to tell him to settle down, and part fo you rolls your eyes and says "Geez, look at this guy." Death of a Pavilion. Wonders of Life is the Willy Loman of Epcot. It just wants to be liked. Really liked. A pavilion is not just a piece of fruit! The woods are burning! Cranium Command can NOT DRIVE A CAR!!! :lol:
Aside from that, however, you have frequent parkgoers who know that WoL is a dinosaur of a pavilion, only opened when they think they need to siphon guests off of major attractions. And while the 3 major attractions are cute enough (Body Wars, Cranium Command, The Making of Me) they all show their age (but, oh, that young Elizabeth Shue...why won't you swim around MY heart?). It feels forgotten. It feels like an afterthought which is how Epcot treats it. And years of the pavilion mainly being used, if used at all, as a rented hall for corporate events means that everything about the pavilion is muted. Nothing calls attention to anything in there.
As a result the people you'll find in there tend to be either nostalgia hounds like me, OR people who have never been in there and want to see at least what it was. But you walk in the distinct impression that somsone accidentally left the gates open, and someone knew how to jurn on the power, but you're not really supposed to be in there. You don't feel welcome, you just feel like, here's a place to get away from the heavy crowds. Sad, really. At the very least, they should have more and more street performers right outside the pavilion entrance, if they really want to disperse crowds more effectively. Get them close enough, and they might go in. But at this point, I don't think management cares if anyone goes in or not, they just want it open to thin the rest of the herd.
