I had a trainee who had worked at Body Wars back in the day, and when they were testing the new Star Tours system in those simulators, they also remastered Body Wars for the new projectors...

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
Re: Top 5 most missed WDW attractions...
A friend of mine who used to work at Epcot told me (right after the pavilion closed in '07) they had scraped half of the old simulators for parts in Star Tours rather then order or create new. This must have been the two they left alone or her info was faulty. That many years ago now it's hard to say but I've seen Cranium Command with my own two eyes and..

Okay, I'm better... Now, who do I have to murder to get my grubby hands into see that?!
...Now please excuse me, I need to go pound my head into a wall now.




One of these days I really should start that thread on "Things you'd fix at WDW" just to see what everyone else has to say. I know I can't be the only person going batty because of idiot decisions.

We totally loved Cranium Command. I enjoy just listening to the audio I've got from it. I can picture the whole thing in my head. Sigh.

Did they sell mental floss at Cranium Command?

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

LOVE Mental Floss. I just get a subscription for my brother-in-law for Christmas. I had sent one last year to my nephew, but my BIL started reading it instead, so I just got him his own copy. They have the best t-shirts too.hobie16 wrote:Did they sell mental floss at Cranium Command?

Re: Top 5 most missed WDW attractions...
I only saw Cranium Command once, at the age of 14 or 15, before the pavilion was closed. I would love to go back and figure out if they had used one camera for both eyes, or one camera for each eye? Depending, they might have had Cameron beat by over a dozen years.

I loved Cranium Command. Too bad they closed it. Here is an unrelated video of the Great Movie Ride I found while looking for something else.

Re: Top 5 most missed WDW attractions...
If your looking for video of Cranium Command, I'm pretty sure if you go to Martins Vids. Under the "Tribute to Wonders of Life" pavilion I believe he's got the full show taped. I just can't recall which of the two it's under now.

5. The skyway. I loved seeing the park from the air. I always had to do a round trip as my wheelchair couldn't go on one of the buckets. It was the first ride I ever rode at Disney World.
4. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. We use to scream go to hell at each other than do it.
3. The orginal Dreamfinder and Figment Ride. Although my sisters and I sing the words to the new rides song everytime we ride it.
2. Food rocks. I remember thinking that it was cheesy but so much fun.
1. Cranimum Command. Loved this show. I saw it at least twice a trip when it was still open. Helped me understand boys a lot better. They should update it with a girl and boy going though the same day. Maybe the day of a school day.

I miss "If you had wings".
The last time I was at WDW was 1995. Does the Mexico pavilion in WS still have the ride where the vendors run after you to sell crap?
