What is Disney going to do with this pavillion? I say keep Body Wars and turn the rest of the pavillion into a major E-Ticket (one that is far better than Mission: Space). I do like Mission: Space, but I don't love it.

Originally Posted By twirlnhurl Body Wars is my favorite attraction at Epcot.

I love the pavilion, and wish it could get cleaned up a bit. While we went on Body Wars, we found that sim 2 was bumpier then 3 or 4 (1 was never open). At the end of the ride in sim 2, one could actually hear a loud creaking noise as the room returns to it's resting position. Once, the bridges out of the sim failed to lower at the end of the ride, and we had to remain in the sim for 10 minutes for them to fix it. We had time to try riding in different seats and doing different things. My favorite is the back row, far left side, riding with feet off the floor and hands on my head. This makes the only point of contact with the vehicle your bottom, the seatbelt, and when you are slammed against the back wall. Good times.

When the ride is in really lean times (leading up to closure, and now everyt seasonal opening) they can staff only 2 CMs, one to fly probe 2 and the other to operate the control tower, the door of which opens to that loading area. Thus it's the easiest to operate with just 2 people - and often did.

I LOVE Cranium Command! I'm just happy my son got to see General Knowledge and "Fuzzy" before they take a bulldozer to the place. Body Wars just makes me sick, it's even worse than Mission: Space (after which I'm the little green (wo)man from outer space, erp)
