one would think that with Disney being health conscious as they are, that they would re-open Wonders of Life.

I found this on "Wikipedia" about wonders of life
The idea of a pavilion devoted to health and fitness dates back to the original concept of the EPCOT Center theme park, but no corporate sponsor could be found to cover the costs.The "Celebrate the Joy of Life" and "Body Wars" signs have been removed during the last opening in 2009. It is unknown if any of the attractions will ever reopen again, although it is possible that the pavilion will be re-opened with the same theme, or even a new one, if sponsorship is signed.

Also josie,
the name of the bikes were Wonder Cycles - Stationary bicycles with a television attached. The faster riders pedaled, the faster the video played. The bicycles would take the rider on a short tour of the magic kingdom & epcot.

And, I agree with you guys, I do miss the wonders of life. That was one part of EPCOT I wish was still around. It was always a good way to take a break from the hustle and bustle, and maybe even learn a thing or two!

That's what I thought,grab some a/c or get out of the rain & they were amusing.
