Wonders of Life Gutting Confirmed

[evanescence4ever]

As far as I know, Cranium Command and Body Wars shall remain.

Oh thank goodness
That was my favorite ride up until test track came along.
Even when the pavillion was open for one month in december '06, i rode it ten times

I hope to be able to see Body Wars/Cranium Command eventually before they are gone forever.

Any chance that since the pavillion will be open for F&W that they will open the attractions as well?

Well there are two theories there clinks...

they are clearing out the foyer area because it was so dated, broken, non-functional that it was such an eyesore that Disney wanted to remove it so they could open the two attractions during the F&W without those eye sores...

What... Disney cleaning up just to clean up? Doesn't happen currently... so I nix that theory

which leaves...

They are cleaning out the old, dated, non-functional stuff from the foyer to make indoor space they can run events and (likely) charge admission to during the F&W festival.

Given theory 2 meshes with the philosophies of 'don't do anything until you absolutely must' and 'give me more revenue opportunities' I think theory #2 is dead-on with current management and why we are finally seeing these changes.

If its being used for events, I don't see why they would open the attractions - conflicting purposes and would probably fight for space (I don't remember the queue setups in there)

I don't know, but for some reason, I don't see food & wine mixing well with a trip through the body. Though the stomach section of CC might be a nice tie in.

I just hope that space is used for something worthwhile after the Food & Wine Festival.

Well, i was talking to a CM a while ago, and he said until they have a sponsor for the WoL Pavillion, it will be a seasonal pavillion, and only opened for special events (like Food & Wine festivals)
And im guessing the sponsor has to be themed to the ride, like Siemens for SSE, GM for TT, and Nestle for The Land.
Maybe Tylenol can sponsor WoL??

I really hope the pavillion is going to be used for something. Bring some new life to Future World.

Eh, i remember the tilting house. That was fun. and so were the little shows they had. it was like an arcade.
Brings back memories of childhood to me

are they getting rid of Body Wars?

I hope they get ride of Star Tou...........Body Wars.

[evanescence4ever]

uh... i dont get it (but dont worry, im just real slow )
Why do you want them to get rid of Star tours and/or Body Wars ?

[flynnibus]

It was always a cheap variant of the same ST system - but much worse thats why.

ST is meh... BW was UGH.

[cjcolvin]

Which ride came first, Star Tours or Body Wars?

And it is a shame to see the decline of the pavilion over the past few years. I've been going since I was two years old. I can't tell you how many times I've been in there. It was sad to see how vacant it was the last time it opened seasonally. Kinda seemed like a ghost town.

Disney didnt really advertise its seasonal opening this past december. Thats likely why it was so empty. But it had no effect on me.
BW ten times with no wait WOO!

ST opened in Disneyland in 1987 and 89 in MGM.

Body Wars opened in 1989
