I guess it's a bigger space than the old odesy restaurant or the special events pavilion. of course gutting it doesn't mean they cant reuse it as a new pavilion at a later date either.
Oh, I'm excited to see what they do with it. Although I hope they don't move the food booths in there, I like walking the WS and trying the different foods. :)
Best Case Scenario: After the F&W Festival, they take a giant bulldozer and demolish the entire pavilion, putting an entire new attraction in its place.
Worst Case Scenario: After the F&W Festival, they hand the space over to conventions and the general public never enters that area of Epcot again.
i would agree, except change the word attraction to pavilion. Future World needs less attractions, and more pavilions which include attractions.Quote:

Well considering you were hoping that this pavilion with multiple attractions be converted into a single one, the point is very puissant here.Quote:

They already painted over the body wars mural about a month ago...

I have it on pretty good authority (and I realize that means nothing coming from me, but, eh) that the WOL attractions are still scheduled to open for the Christmas. I hope this is true, because I've never gotten to see Body Wars or Cranium Command.
i really liked the WoL pavilion. I remember being there when it opened when I was kid. But when I went two years ago it felt old and dated. I hope they get a sponsor and they re-do this pavilion. Epcot should keep the current theme of the pavilion but with newer rides.
are they getting rid of Body Wars? :(Quote:

And why did it close in the first place?

Look who's channelling the spirit of TDLFAN!
As far as I know, Cranium Command and Body Wars shall remain.Quote:

Not to go off-topic, but what pavilion in FW used to be a multi-attraction pavilion that is no longer one?Quote:

Test Track - Again, single attraction WoM+postshow vs. single attraction TT+[likely worse] postshow
The Seas - Multi-attraction Living Seas to multi-attraction The Seas with Nemo & friends
The Land - Attractions have changed, but it remains a multi-attraction pavilion
Imagination Institute - Again, the two attractions have changed over the years, but it still remains a multi-attraction pavilion
Spaceship Earth - The story has been altered, but it has always been a single attraction and postshow
Innoventions - I would call this a multi-mini-attraction pavilion
So am I missing anything? The only pavilion I haven't listed for obvious reasons is WoL, which at last opening was still a multi-attraction pavilion.
