    Default I miss wonders of life!

    I was thinking about it today! Body wars, cranium command, making of me. Even the yummy smoothies we used to get in there! Will they ever refurb that space?

    It's been gone for a while, I don't we will see much of anything in there for quite some time. If they do something, it will probably be a full tear down much like Horizons...

    We really loved Cranium Command. It was one of our favorite shows at WDW. I wish they would find someplace to bring it back.

    Maybe they should turn it into one of those Ninja Challenge areas. You know, something that makes the human body do crazy things. Keep it about "Life", but make it fun to watch/be a part of.

    being older now, I wish I was able to see it because I feel I could appreciate it more than when I first saw it - definitely missed in my book!

    I used to love the display where you would place your hands on hidden objects and try to figure out what they were just by touching them.

    I agree that Wonders of Life is never coming back, but something will eventually go into that space. We just may be dead by then.

    Lol maybe we should put our guesses about what they will do with the pavilion in a time capsule. In the year 2042 our children can dig it up!

    I really loved Cranium Command! And right when I was getting old enough for Body Wars they closed the pavilion.

    It was my least favorite when it was open, but it was also up against attractions such as Horizons, World of Motion, the original Spaceship Earth, the original Imagination, etc.... Now it would be a favorite, I suspect. You can draw your own conclusions...

    If you're thinking of "Kitchen Kabaret", that was over at The Land pavilion. It was replaced by Food Rocks!; which was replaced by Soarin'.

    The reason "Body Wars" made a LOT of people sick, was because the synchronization of the film and the motion of the cabin was off by about half a second or less. By the time the cabin reacted in time to the film, your body/mind had already reacted to what you saw on the screen, resulting in a LOT of motion sickness.

    By the way, the exact same simulator cabins are used in "Star Tours".

    I thought Cranium Command was a cute attraction. I had forgotten about it until I heard the full audio track for this ride on the Internet. After that, I couldn't wait for my DD9 to experience it on our next trip. Only to find the whole pavilion is closed! Darn!

    i would of course, LOVE if Body Wars came back, but I have come to terms with the fact that it is gone for good.

    That being said, I would absolutely love to see ANYTHING come out of that space. Whether or not it is similar, or a complete teardown and rebuild of something else I hate to see anything go to waste at WDW. Kinda reminds me of when the ledgendary years area of POP was rotting away. So glad to see that rise from the ashes so to speak, so hope something gets done sooner rather than later.
