Wonders Of Life

The Wonders of Life was never one of my favorite pavilions.  I remember being very excited before it opened (especially about Body Wars).  The novelty quickly wore off and I rarely visited there again.  I did, however, enjoy Cranium Command.  The attractions in the pavilion included:  The Making of Me - "The mysterious, wonderful and often funny process of pregnancy and birth is explored in this film, which features spectacular scientific footage of a developing fetus."  Goofy About Health - "Disney's favorite character cavorts across seven screens in a cartoon city street, demonstrating the do's and dont's of good health."  AnaComical Players - "Humorous improvisational skits themed to heath-related topics."  Body Wars - "Science fiction and science fact merge with state-of-the-art simulator technology to propel you on a thrilling ride through the human body."  And Cranium Command - "Climb inside the head of a 12-year-old boy as he negotiates his way through a typical day.  Presiding over this light-hearted look at the relationship between mind and body is Buzzy, an Audio-Animatronics Cranium Commando earning his stripes."  There were also a variety of interactive health and fitness exhibits.  (attraction descriptions came from the January 1990 EPCOT guidebook.

There were several different environments that you could cycle through on the Lifecycles.  One traveled through Disneyland.  The one on the screen here looks like a parade.
