Ohh I getcha. Yeah the urbex guy was totally at fault and rightfully banned, even if what he did was really cool

Rumor Wonders of Life getting an attraction soon?

Exactly why I doubt they would ever just "bring it back". Even if they could, the attraction is decidedly out of the analog era and would not look very good. To get it to the point that it would even be partially modern quality, they would need to replace just about every part of the AV, control system and lighting. In addition, I love the show, but the talent in the videos haven't exactly withstood 30 years, either...Anybody under thirty likely has no idea who Hanz and Franz, George Wendt, Charles Grodin or Jon Lovitz are...

I'm sure personal injury is some of the rationale (though I'm not sure how Disney could possibly have any liability for guests accessing backstage areas and hurting themselves), but I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that they would rather a hundred guests get injured backstage than have any sort of mass trauma event caused by the worst among us.

Question for ya, why did they leave Buzzy in there for so long? Was he used for cast or executive events? Or just too difficult to disassemble and remove until absolutely needed?
That's criminal to me, with all the streaming/online services available where you can find them and their work.
I didn't know about the Figment signature in the cement. A very cool Easter egg. The fact that it was removed makes me quite sad.
The hotel/basement analogy was yours.
Alex and Ellen are long gone.
Being caught trespassing is trespassing. Good luck if it happens to you.

I’d truly like to think that they’re renovating Cranium Command to be an Inside Out attraction in the near future. But of course, I’m only speculating. It just seems like it’d make the most sense. Disney clearly acknowledges the similarities aswell as that Pete Docter worked on both. So it seems like a no-brainer. Another big reason I’m hoping for this is that hopefully with that, Journey into Imagination can go back to it’s original spirit of creativity along with the return of Dreamfinder & Figment. This is hopeful thinking of course. But it seems to make the most sense. Especially considering the push of Figment & Dreamfinder in new merch (such as the new Tsum Tsum set and the recently redone standard Figment plush, along with the annual event appearances.) Oh yeah, also that new AP poster in Liberty Square featuring Dreamfinder & Figment is pretty fascinating too...
Just seems silly to utilize them so much if they weren’t planning anything for them. You know.

To be honest that’s irrelevant. The parts they played worked so well visually that they could be anybodies. I’ve been watching an awful lot of the attraction recently and it struck me how well they work. As a Brit I didn’t know most of them anyway but their parts still worked.
I didn’t get a definitive but being on a boom he wasn’t the easiest to get to. As we saw with Food Rocks, Imageworks and elsewhere (and River Country) things are only removed if they’re in the way. Otherwise why spend money just to make something an empty space?

I agree that the show still worked (It does lose a layer of its "pop" appeal without knowledge of WHY those actors are funny in those roles), but I think the bigger issue people are missing here is that that entire theater and show is so badly dated from a tech standpoint that I seriously doubt it would work to just test it out and open the doors. Is there even a Master of the screen portions that could reasonably be cleaned and re-mastered to an HD quality? If I recall, the "eyes" were rear projection and, even at the time, were not of the highest resolution feeding off an analog source (yes...laser disc stored in digital, but it was analog video and could only output over analog at a lower than DVD quality). I couldn't imagine Disney would try to resurrect an attraction that is that dependent on low resolution analog sources.
Obviously not directed at you @marni1971 but more toward the general idea that if the AAs still worked, WDW could just swing the doors open and have an attraction.

Which is exactly why I’m saying, this would be the best place for a new Inside Out show. The plot is similar, it’s relevant, Pete Docter worked on both, and with Disney’s outlook on always enhancing and upgrading technology, I’m sure they could put in a new control system and new hi-def screens.

100% agreed. CC was such a fun and well put together show. It was a must do for me everytime I visited. When I actually saw the Hanz and Franz skits on SNL and a commercial they were in, I instantly thought back to CC.

The basement analogy was MisterPenguins, and mentioning a hotel made his ridiculously fallacious and demonstrably false example slightly more apt for the situation.
However, I encourage you to study what laws actually say, instead of making absolute statements that were clearly not well-researched.
Lack of proper research causes judges and courts to side with trespassers: ;-)

My friend is in WDW now and of course I’m making her stalk for me. Don’t worry this is as far as she went. LOL... is that Guardians behind?

Yep, that's Guardians behind there. Also, new update from Bio (which we can see some of the paint work from your picture):

Speaking on the trespassing issue, it's bad especially on property owned by a company as big as Disney, but in an evil way I'm not going to pretend I don't enjoy seeing what they uncover. I think there are a lot of people in the same boat. "Don't do that! Well... since you did, I'm going to take a peek at what you found"

Not advocating for sneaking into WoL, but maybe some people within Disney getting in "trouble" and causing a "Hassle" over a building they have let just sit there, unused for park guests for over 10 years (outside of festivals) is what was needed.
People within the company need to realize that this is a space that has attractions running, not a space that holds events. If that were currently the case, there would be no hassle.
That didn’t have a bearing on bringing the building possibly back into proper use.
After all, they didn’t reopen River Country.

...Or Discovery Island, Image Works, Food Rocks, etc...
I would think the idea to reuse WoL would come from a budget reason, crowd and speed reason...Im guess that if anything is going to go into WoL it would cost far less and would be far faster to reuse the building. The business guy in me thinks that IF something is going to go into WoL, they would likely want to get proper construction started by this winter, if they want to hit an opening date that would match up with GotG to siphon off some of the lines.
Logic tells me that anything going into that building would be pretty tame, low cost and extremely family friendly to balance off the three thrill rides on that side of the park...all things that could be accomplished quickly and with low cost.
Im not going to even guess at theme, but "business me" cant see anything amazing going in here, from an attraction standpoint.
