I'm with you. I was a huge fan of the whole pavilion. I'm going to miss it not being open in September...or perhaps ever again. It was one of the best. I'm watching Martin's tribute to Body Wars right now. But, I think I'll miss Cranium Command the most. I hope it gets an update and reopens again someday...

...Over the last few years, the party line was that they only opened it during really crowded times of the year. It was never open when I was there, even though I was there in June and over Spring Break...are there more crowded times than summer and Spring Break? :shrug:

Christmas break. And I've heard that is has been open every Christmas break for the last several years, but not ay any other time. Shame, I was thinking of going this Christmas, and seeing WoL was one of my motivations.

I was searching to see if this was posted but..

In the 2007 unofficial guide to Walt Disney World Jim hill adds his own little tidbits of information about things going on in the parks. According to him they have been unable to find a new sponsor to underwrite the cost of upgrading and operating this severely dated area. And since there have been great strides made in medical treatment since 1989 when it opened, nearly everything would need to be updated. Many pharmaceutical companies do not want to pay the bill.

That's jim hills opinion take it as you may.

I say tear it down, and start fresh with a new health pavillion. The only I liked was cranium command.

Why tear down the wonders of life pavillion to just build a new one?

I say tear it down and build a pavillion with a totally new theme. Something that atleast has a little educational value to it.

Yep... my plans for the holidays may have just shifted to the original park out west.

I never got to see WoL open.


BTW-

My idea for the pavillion? Or perhaps for the energy one... well, just make the old WoL a Monster's Inc. Scare floor roller coaster from the door storage scene (simulator from old ride could be retrofitted and reprogrammed) ... and tie it to the energy pavillion by way of a Soarin' type tunnel/line...

And also have a separate line from the old entrance.. a la the two entries at the Matterhorn in DLR...

They could build the scare/laugh simulator from the movie in the queue area, or in he other areas near the original entrance... then build a small counter service replica of HarryHausen's.


Okay I'm kidding.

I am going to miss "The Making of Me".

Other than that, I will not miss any of the other attractions.

But the building did have nice restrooms.
