Wonders of Life is really, truly dead

[flynnibus]

************ on Twitter somehow got to the old Body Wars area and... the simulators are gone as are the loading platforms and everything. I think we can say there's 0 chance of it returning now.

Did they at least credit raven's post?

Do you have the picture?

Erm, no. It was posted in a thread last year. He looks a bit drunk, one of his eyes doesn't open fully and his 'hair' has started to come loose. I'll see if I can find it for you.

Edit: posted below for you.

Here you go. Very sad. He probably looks even worse by now if he's still there.

This has been a discussion from a good few months ago...http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/imagineers-set-to-demo-part-of-wol-pavilion.849943/

Plus the news has been stated that they have been doing selective Demo to WoL..http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-wonders-life-pavilion-epcot-selective-demolition-22070/

Weird, that didn't show up when I searched for it. Thanks for the link!

If anyone remembers it was posted someplace, maybe not on this board, that they had applied for a permit to "alter" the pavilion a few months ago. My bet is that it is ALL history, but even if it wasn't. I don't think you will ever see it again. Like the rest of us old relics it will be replaced by some new whippersnapper sort of attraction.

IIRC, the Bodywars building is being removed.

I love that pavilion so much! I will miss it!

While I was managing a few online shrine sites (yes, really), I got a few tip offs that Buzzy may be removed, or worse, dismantled. So where's our General Knowledge now? X'C

(Cue funeral church organ:
)

I believe it is at 3 1/2 minutes where Woo goes into the loading area of Body Wars so this has to be pretty recent. Maybe?




Dated May 2012

Buzzy looks like he is way past being buzzed in that picture...

The building isn't in the best of shape and it's all but hidden from view these days. Festivals and private events are the only times it's even open. Sad. Of course, now with the F&G Festival in full swing, they're using the heck out of it. Will get plenty of new pix this week. This is from last November/December:

Can't help but think that if they build New Horizons on that spot, it would look stunning....like a big spaceship landing behind the trees.

That would be amazing!

It was actually my favorite pavilion when it was still in existence. I was hopeful for a long time that it was going to come back, but gave up on it a long time ago. Sad to know it's officially never coming back though

 

[cheezbat]

Yeah I say demo the thing and build us an all new amazing Pavillion with an awesome dark ride!!!

 

[ddbowdoin]

I remember body wars as a kid but I couldn't remember the WOL pavilion. I'm down here now and we stopped by for the F&G events... It's a beautiful pavilion. A damn shame...

Nostalgia - it was lame

My local science center was more fun... Imaginations play area was more fun... And body wars sucked compared to BTTF and star tours.

The main hall had that 80s 'futures' pastel look that had to go..

No love lost at all when this thing closed. The weakest pavilion by far in Epcot

 

[BoarderPhreak]

^ I'd have to agree. WoL never really appealed. BW was... Okay, but really just a rehashed ST with a different film. But the potential was there, and they could've improved it.

And I don't mean "improved" like the Nemo-ization of LS!
