- www.AdamTheWoo.com - www.wdwfanboys.com - www.wdwkingdomcast.com - In 2007 the Wonders Of Life pavilion closed. It is now used on rare occasion for events. Rumor has it the buildings days are numbered. I figured since that may be the case I should document what is left. Unfortunately a security gaurd (who was actually very kind) caught me and that was the end of my snoopary. This is the footage I got up till that point. Enjoy !
It's sad to think of how many of the original concepts of Epcot are gone. I watched a Disney special yesterday that dated back to the 1980's and it's insane the amount of attractions/pavilions they've replaced/changed, or simply closed. Although I always prefer the classics when it comes to rides and attractions, I'm sure they could have been able to update it, or something in order to keep it alive (if popularity was an issue). Especially since heath seems to be an important issue in the US.
As a child , I played there. I didn't realize that I had, but when I saw the inside, memories just came back to me. Sweet nostalgia :)
Its so dumb that this place has been closed. I don't even understand why.
Unpopular opinion, they need to re-open the wonders of life pavilion like the way it was without body wars, or at least make it more tolerable to people who throw up easily and keep everything the same
Almost 2023 and they still haven't figured out what to do with this pavilion after canceling Play
I'd almost forgotten Adam used to have personality and wasn't always a rich, suburban Disney mega fanboy
The original plan was to have an elaborate dark ride going through the human body. As you would've gone through the lungs, the walls ceiling, and floor would've "breathed" in and out. I was bitterly disappointed when, after Eisner came in, it was announced that the dark ride was canceled in favor of a motion simulator, which would use elements from the 1987 movie Innerspace. .............. I thought Body Wars was okay, but I think the dark ride might've had more lasting appeal.
Watching this in 2024 and WOW lol You’ve definitely evolved
I was just there, actually! They had the garden festival there again. Behind one of the curtains, right at the slope you walk down, there was some sort of blue vehicle on a track. I don't know if it was a peoplemover or a wondercycle or what, but I was thrilled. By the way, ever seen the old Kitchen Kabaret/Food Rocks! stage hidden behind Soarin'? I saw it, too. It's behind the large garden-type wall that goes along the path as you walk away to the right of The Land/Soarin' building. It looks like part of the pavilion (it's a large orange building), but as you walk farther right, you can see the "refrigerator" stage and the purple frames where characters like "Pita Gabriel" performed. I was in awe. It's strange how much of Epcot is just sitting and rotting...
Continued= I will try again to make a longer video of the windows in the future. It's funny, I'm one of the few people in the city who remembers that church. There's a store occupying that space now. However, I won't mention their name, because they're not paying me to advertise here. I'll put it up later. Sorry for it being too short. There will be another attempt in the future.
I went to Disney World during the 2006 Christmas season, and we visited Wonders of Life. Me and my dad were the only ones bold enough to ride Body Wars (we actually broke down when it was just starting, and had to be moved to the adjacant simulator; they provided a little entertainment in the form of, I think, splicing the audio feed from PoTC into the speakers, while we were waiting for rescue), I also really enjoyed Cranium Command, but never did see The Making of Me or Goofy About Health. Little did I know that when I was in there, it was the pavilion's last days. I now count myself lucky.
It looks like you are changing the style of your videos and giving a more detailed history of where you go, really digging it!
Haha, I think Body Wars is the only simulated ride that made me feel pretty nauseous. It was so cheesy, but also fun. Thanks for the tour! :D
Thank you for the video. I remember going there in 1993 and going to the Body Wars and watching The Making of Me in the theater there.
Oh Crap, Adam tricked us! That door didn't go into Body Wars! That was the Emergency Exit door at Soarin'!
Thanks for this video. Having the song "Celestial Soda Pop" by Ray Lynch in the background made the tour more mysterious; almost spooky. Great choice.
I've been a regular watcher for about 3 months now. I actually went back and watched all your videos on this channel. Gotta say I really like learning or at least getting to see what things were like before they were shut down and discarded to let time do its thing.
I used to love Cranium Command and Body Wars!
Walt Disney Imagineering has a large office building and trailers behind the Wonders of Life Pavilion.
Such a shame, though, man. I, too, remember this from when I was a kid. Body Wars was also pretty neat, and narrated by Leonard Nimoy, if I'm not mistaken. It was one of the neatest stuff 'cause back when I was younger I was huge into science because of Bill Nye growing up. It broke my heart to hear it was closing and I didn't have the money or time to go see it before it shut down for good.
