I guess I am in the minority, I was a HUGE fan of Body Wars as well, not as huge of a fan of Cranium Command, though I have to admit that they did get some really good voice talent for it.
A lot of people thought BW was too violent.. I LOVED it.. and yes, of course I love Star Tours as well. I rode it like 3 times in one day on my last trip in February.

Cranium Command was hilarious! It's just insane how gutted and depressing that place is now. Last I saw for F&G Festival a couple months ago.

I know, we went to the pavilion during the Food and Wine Festival and it was really depressing. It's a big area but not much of the sapce was really being put to use.

It would be really nice to see this space being used again, and keeping the biology/science aspect to it, as the rest of Futureworld is still reasonably sciencey. Since Disney has committed to promoting children's health, it would be cool if this space could tie into that, and be fun, too. Doesn't hurt to combine animated characters with real learning, like they did with Nemo and Friends. People can get off that, and wander about and look at the fish without Nemo's help.

The problem is that 'mericans don't like that. They had to shut down and re-do a health pavillion last year because of complains over it. :D

Health is a big issue now in the country. I think a new Wonders of Life would be very popular. Maybe it would even get government funding considering that Michelle Obama is really into eating well and we have the health care issue in the public eye now.

You just said the name of the 'merican enemy #1! It is a big issue but 'mericans aren't about to be told that they can't stuff their fat f*ck faces with whatever they want. Look at the responses to thinks like Bloomberg's limitation on sodas.

Not really when any attempt by anyone, politican or otherwise, to even suggest that people change their eating habits is viewed as "an attack on our way of life/personal freedoms".

I would think our First Lady, being so involved with the company and the company actively (and rightly so) promoting her Let's Move! campaign, would be behind the idea of having her goals take a permanent place in the place children are drawn to the most. It would be nice to get such high backing on an idea. Win win overall.

Since you're at Epcot, or at least can get to it the fastest, did Disney (after yield to public outcry and closing the attraction before it opened) ever re-open Habit Heroes?

I don't think it would have the right political clout. I know Mrs. Obama is 100% behind having healthy children nation-wide (and which moms aren't, to be honest?) but I don't know that any politician would get involved in a project that doesn't have any guarantee of a certain degree of political gain. In other words, if it's not going to benefit the President's position somehow, she probably won't get involved until he's out of office and finished, unfortunately.

Now, if she wants to use her popularity after he's out of office, that would be fantastic. Kind of like how President Carter used his skills with Habitat for Humanity.

Sounds like someone didn't earn a presidential fitness award. :D

It was a joke about how you were saying the president never gets involved with it when they actually have since JFK.
