    Default Wonders of Life replacement?

    I miss Cranium Command and heck I even miss Body Wars ( I remember waiting in line 60 minutes for that ride when it was new.) If they close it down permanently, what should replace it or should they find a new way to update it?

    I thought it would be cool if they did a weather pavilion (imagine Hurricane Hunters as a simulator ride.) I think the pavilion is just going to be used for special events at this point.

    Thats an awesome idea!!!

    Either that or revamp the pavillion with the same human body theme. I used to love it too.

    Great idea..get the weather channel to sponsor it and Jim Cantore to serve as ride host.
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    I agree with the weather idea. That would be really cool. Maybe it can be like that Ellen ride, where instead of going through dinosaurs, you go through a tornado (there will be tons of hidden fans to make lots of wind). Then there can be a hurricane part, a blizzard scene, a storm section, everything!

    The weather idea is cool (no pun intended - ha). But I miss miss MISS WOL - I loved the Sensory Funhouse and Cranium Command. It was just a fun pavillion - great music too. And an attraction based on the science of the human health and well-being is still a great fit in FW.

    I agree w/ PP - it seems that they've found a new purpose for the building as HQ for events.

    Sad.

    I really think it should remain Wonders of Life, but be sponsored by Pfizer.

    It's sad...i'm sure it's going to pretty much sit dormant until the Imagineers decide what high priced attraction they can knock it down and replace it with...ala Mission Space...or Test Track...or even Soarin'...hopefully it will be worth the waith and the $$$!
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    You know, weather would be cool, but it would almost fit better over by the land and living. I think its cool to have a human body pavillion, just needs a new spin is all. Something to make it fresh.

    Id love a pavillion devoted to music.It could be built as a double building and look like that old Silly Symphony cartoon with the Jazz Island and the Isle of Symphony

    1986(FW) 1987(FW) 1989-2x(FW) 2004(ASMO)2008(CSR)

    You can't just let it go...not even on your birthday.

    I would just love an update to the existing pavillion. There is so much to learn and experience. I am hoping is is open on our next trip. In all of our trips it has only been open once. I really think my 6 year old DD will love it
