Good riddance! |

Pretty much the only reason I went on the attraction. The concept was cool but it was just a little too herky jerky for me. |

Wed 6/20/2007 8:05a | Hey I got an idea. How about a cute kitchy retrofuturistic carnival to replace WoL. They could buy a big white steel coaster with a launch that sorta kinda looks like a woodie. Giant Wheel complete with futuristic star light display in the middle. A smaller Spaceship Earth with some swings. And it would be so cool if the swing seats look like astro orbitor rockets. and there would be this cool mad mouse coaster with cars that look like astro orbitor rockets. And they could completely trick it out with some flats that have space with stars and stuff painted on them. And they could have a carousel but insted of horses they could have little astro orbitor rockets... Best of all it would be, shall we say, inexpensive.
Sorry, I'll go away now. |

Wed 6/20/2007 8:23a | >>When 'Wonders of Life' first opened, I loved the 'open-air-everything-under-one-roof' feeling.
It was like a great section of really fun museum.
Unfortunately, with the hot pink, aqua and electric blue color scheme, the reliance of pop stars like Ernest, Hans and Franz, and Bobcat Goldthwait in 'Cranium Command', it just didn't age well.<<
And that was my problem with it. When it first opened it was definitely the first 2nd generation EPCOT addition. It stood out from everything that had been done at EPCOT prior. It just didn't give me a good vibe and that vibe proved to be a flash in the pan. It wasn't a timeless WED creation.
I do think there was and is upward potential with the subject matter as well as with a real Adventure in Innerspace.
>>I do enjoy 'The Land' and appreciate having all those various exhibits under one roof -- it provides a great sense of adventure.<<
The funny thing with The Land, for me, is that it was one of my least favorite things in the original EPCOT Center. However with time the pavilion has been improved on; updated to keep fresh. And at the same time everything around it has been so dumbed down, not only in terms of content but architecturally, that it now isn't as low on my list. It still has its problems, different problems than from the past, with crowd control and its utilitarian additions brought on by different areas of Soarin's addition like the queue.

Wed 6/20/2007 8:26a | >>When it was open in December, I heard a number of positive comments from guests (who had no idea it was there otherwise). It could have just been updated, there was a lot to save there.<<
IMO, the only thing worth saving at this stage of the game was Cranium Command. And that would have still required a new script. But it probably would do okay living on - on it's own like as part of Innoventions.
But for the real estate that WOL is located on, and for the strategic location of being near two thrill rides on one side and a 40 min film attraction on the other, something significant needs to be placed there. |

Maybe they'll eventually put another Pooh Playground in there <<shudder>>!

are you trying to drive me mad ? :-) |

You must really come unglued watching 'Back to the Future 2' and 'Back to the Future 3.' |
