Thanks for watching. This pavilion was a perfect example of intelligent entertainment that was what made the original EPCOT so good. Horizons was another example and our favorite. It was a great disappointment when they replaced that.

It's supposed to become the Play Pavilion but that seems to have been delayed due to the current health crisis.

Thank you. We miss the original EPCOT.

@@MikeWeber50 Same here.

Yes General Knowledge cracked me up especially with his Disney World line and I loved Annie

We still say “Where do you think you are? Disney World?”

If you think about it, Body Wars was pretty much the main reason Wonders of Life had to close. When it opened it was ground breaking despite the fact that it was a super rough ride. However once Star Tours opened at Hollywood Studios, the inferior Body Wars really lost the ability to draw people to the pavilion. And other then the Cranium Command and Making of Me shows, there wasn't really anything else to do. One of my first memories of Disney was going to Epcot for the first time in 1989 when I was 6, I remember being super excited to ride Body Wars. When I got off I remember feeling sick and not so thrilled.

The guy we are inside in the ride is an old man (or a woman with short hair but I see a broad old man)

Yes

I believe it was November of 2006.

Time Cop I was just about to say it practically identical!

Dr Lair and her old man patient are gonna be PISSED

AortaPlatinum you could still remember this. You were 7 when it closed, I mean you could remember it

Born in 2004. I also love tons of retro stuff too

I have sorta the opposite problem: I _did_ get to see EPCOT in the early ‘80s…and to this day, it remains my favorite theme park experience…! but alas, it was so _early_ in the ‘80s that The Seas and The Wonders of Life pavilions hadn’t even opened yet - plus Spaceship Earth had been struck by lightning when we visited, and wasn’t operating for the day - so I never experienced those rides! But Journey into Imagination was great - my jaded 11-year-old self even happily and willingly got my picture taken with Dreamfinder and Figment! - the Energy pavilion remains the single most awe-inspiring ride I’ve ever been on, and after Kitchen Kabaret, to this day I can’t fix food without humming “veggie veggie, fruit fruit” to myself. I’m glad that version of EPCOT Center still lives on on RUclips at least. Maybe someday Disney will have a visionary CEO again who’ll return EPCOT to its original mission. Not everything has to be “synergies” and “vertical integration” and “product placement” - there’s a need in the world for a visionary, utopian theme park, which a restored EPCOT Center could once again fill.

We're on the same boat. Im also from 99. I showed this to my english class along with mattswonsas exploration video and they were fascinated. Goes to show that this simple but passionate EPCOT was (ironically) miles ahead of the current epcot.

90s SEGA..... and Body Wars..... there is a book where Team Sonic goes inside of Knuckles' body and I was like WHAT bc Knuckles was a childhood favorite. Why is he a host

Most of the music at Wonders of Life was from the album Natural States by David Lanz. Behind The Waterfall was most prominent at the entrance.

Sideways The Decepticon Christian Buehner and Helge Schroeder - Icarus ruclips.net/video/clMIPzVLBY4/видео.html Took me a while to find it, but it was worth it!

Sara McConnell the Wonders Of Life pavilion was all about teaching guests about the body. The focus on the whole pavilion wasn't just to eat healthy. There were parts in the pavilion that talked about eating healthy and exercising but they were there just there to help guests understand how eating healthy and exercising is beneficial to the body.

Back when Epcot opened, WDW had a healthy food initiative. There wasn't so much sugar and barely any alcohol being served. I remember the healthy restaurant that used to be in WOL. The ideas were misguided at the time (low fat), but it was still better than the stuff all over WDW now, such as boozy cookie shakes being served at snack bars on all the walkways.

There was an actual show in Cranium Command, it wasn't taped here. It's probably elsewhere on RUclips

14:21 stupid audio is out of sync

Sorry, I had hoped to capture it but a cast member made me put the camera away inside the attraction.

It was very dated and by '06, Soarin had opened up...that's where everyone was headed to by then.

There used to be days you could go to Disney and have small crowds!

G1 Smokescreen I can see that too. It sucks, classic attractions have been taken over by modern Disney IPs since like 2003 with Alien Encounter turning into that Stitch crap, and the Matterhorn turning into that Frozen ride that doesn't even have real animatronics.

@@aortaplatinum However, Ant-Man and The Wasp is a perfect fit for Body Wars. I'd love to see an attraction where they go inside The Falcon to show how the body heals itself. That's only if Disney gets the rights back from Universal...

@@YuukiTakemoto1996 no way they'll keep the educational themes, that's how EPCOT got a reputation as "the lame Disney park" [despite Animal Kingdom being infinitely lamer]. No, they'll just make it more and more of a Magic Kingdom clone.

Fun fact: The lead animator for Cranium Command's animated intro was Pete Docter, the director for Inside Out.

@@stlouisrocker100 That's awesome! Pete should definitely tell Disney to put Inside Out in Cranium Command's place!

They closed it in 2007
