He played Chairman Clench, since he was a main character and they really wanted to distance themselves, they would have either had to totally re-shoot the movies and audio (since there would be a gap between the 90's and more modern version) or update the whole ride and tie it into one of their franchises with less molestery characters.

I would have to change back Spaceship Earth to the previous version. I do like the new version, but I loved the last version the best.

After reading up on a couple souvenirs that some folks had acquired way back in the day from AREA-EXCLUSIVE gift shops, it got me thinkin: "Hey, DL and WDW should re-introduce that!" I mean....I'm pretty sure we can all agree on how homogenized the Disney giftshops have become, right? To be precise I saw a photo of Enchanted Tiki Room souvenirs from an Adventureland-Exclusive gift shop....aka, it was a gift shop selling items SOLD ONLY in Adventureland! It'd be awesome if Disney got back into this. It would make souvenirs just THAT much more special.

I would also have to say bring back Mr. Toads Wild Ride. I have never ridden on it on would love to have the experience of that ride. Also bring back for a limited time the older Spaceship Earth with narration by Walter Cronkite, I remember those times of riding listening to Walter narrate.... :goofy_bounce:

Oh yeah! I find the narration doesn't hold the same passion now. It does explain things a little better, but they really need to improve it. Heck, I can even go without the interactive screen. Since I love Spaceship Earth, that is not gonna stop me from riding it though :lol:

Agreed ~ even if they just would reopen the Wonders of Life Pavilion with new attractions. It is so sad to have that pavilion be completely closed :(

I know they use it once in a while, Amy, but isn't it crazy that they wouldn't just update...it makes no sense to me at all :? To me it seems like it would be relatively easy for imagineers to come up with new ideas for this particular attraction. Why leave it empty and just sitting there?

Yeah, I can't imagine that this pavilion is best served being an occasional venue that is open for Food and Wine. Unless they really just don't have the money to re-imagine the pavilion and staff it ~ but that seems very unlikely. It's just very sad that it has been all but abandoned :(

My guess is they can't find a sponsor, since that is always the goal (to offset the costs at some level). The other might be that they just can't come up with a concept that they think would work on on levels and keep with the style/theme of Epcot's future world. Health related pavillions seem to be a touchy area, in as much as when they cover personal responsibility. They had to ditch an entire pavillion at Innoventions when the response to the soft-opening of Habit Heroes was so negative.

I had completely forgotten about the Habit Heroes :( I wonder if that did have any effect on future plans for the pavilion?
