Rumor Wonders of Life getting an attraction soon?

[RSoxNo1]

At the moment it isn’t but let’s just say demolition isn’t as certain as it may once have been.

There’s also a semi recent idea that maybe festival space isn’t the best use of a $85 million dollar facility.

In the meantime anything used by cast or guests has to be maintained. It’s likely this is work that can’t be ignored anymore.

Carousel of Progress moving to Epcot as part of a new Horizons Century 3 Pavilion on that footprint?

Do we have an "rolls eyes" emoji?

I'm not sure an eye roll is relevant there. I refuse to believe that you wouldn't welcome something like that. I'm just not holding my breath.

So, I was out at the Wonders of Life pavilion today sketching it for a future print, and over the course of two hours I saw numerous personnel go in and out of the building, carrying merchandise dollies and just simply entering and exiting. I think the roof was merely being maintained because when it's not a Festival Center, it's a storage facility/office of some sort.

A lot is stored in there. Cranium preshow, Body Wars queue and sim bays are all storage areas.

Weather was a proposal for Wonders.

So sad this never happened. This would've been my favorite pavilion growing up an aspiring meteorologist.

The work on the WOL has been slowly ongoing since before the hurricane.

Most of the roof work happening across property is related to fall protection standards not repairs.

Incorrect. Most of the work going on now is very much in relation to hurricane damage and not fall protection. I am in the know on this fact and I will leave it at that.

Five years ago, it still looked "fairly" clean...

I loved wonders of life...best pavilion along with Seas and the old I!

...the pictures make me sad

Don't forget the area music

Don't forget the area music

Honestly, losing this soundtrack in the park is a tragedy in and of itself

What would a young Peter Quil Think?

If Peter Quil did in fact visit EC in the 80s and was impacted by it the way I was, he likely would not agree with the future direction of the park either.

I would love for this pavilion to finally be fully operational. If they're planning on making the ride based on Inside Out, then we're all game.

I think that can be said for just about any FW attraction.

Too bad it didn’t happen. Maybe then Bob Iger would care about EPCOT.

*Bonus points if you get the reference.

Not so much as an attraction, but rather a place to store “shareholder fiscal assets”

Before 2028? Stranger things have happened. A long shot but not foolish. Demolition is no longer the only option on the table.

Dr. Strange Confirmed...

A certain site has posted a picture of construction workers staring at wonders of life and pointing at it.

That site as well as various people on twitter are also stating that Wonders will no longer be used as a Festival Center.

Maybe the aliens were tired of their flying saucer being used as a festival center.
