REMASTERED at 60fps - Body Wars at Epcot (2006)

In this remastered video, we take a highly turbulent simulator-type thrill ride through the human body.

So...I just want to take time to appreciate the fact that not only did you willingly record the ride through of this, but you also willingly went there in 2006 when absolutely nobody else would, AND you stopped and taped the queue show even though there was literally nobody in the line and you almost certainly would have gotten funny looks for doing that, AND you even went on a second time just to get a full recording of the side screen alongside it. I am in shock and awe of the dedication you went through to document this ride. I never got to personally go on it myself but this looks like a really neat ride that combines thrill and education very effectively. And since I've been on Star Tours, I think I have a pretty good idea of what this ride was like! Serious props for the recording. And you even gave us the 60fps version. It's so refreshing to see someone else who actually knows how interlacing works. Good job!

[@CFSAS]

That has to be one the best responses I've gotten on this video. Ya know, when I film attractions like this, the impact isn't felt right away of course, but many years later. I'm really glad I went out of my way to take care of filming this and editing it. It was an honor to film it and to showcase it to everyone. Thank you for those kind comments.

I wish kids today had these same kind of experiences to give them a love of science.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

I have a different story... I have a love of the insides of the human body because it makes me feel good inside. Everybody has something that makes them feel like that, and for me it's that. People think it's gross; well, I do, because we are inside a woman's body (look closely at when the shield lowers), and I prefer men as the "hosts." I remember the only thing I saw being done with a female was really gross. This might be an exception, as I thought it was a man when I first rode this ride in 2006, and hell, the subject even looks like a man at the end. Perhaps, they switched actors.

This was the best simulator ever. The constant panicked narration combined with the extremely unpredictable movement really makes you feel helpless. I would get chills every time. At least in star tours you're dealing with enemies and an environment run by sapient beings. It's much more twisted when you're just being tempest tossed the whole time as the crew alternates from being horrified to in awe every five seconds. Only thing that bugged me is knowing people threw up in there which I mean I would be so pissed if someone threw up inside my body. Also "I'm gonna use the lasers to stun it" *winds up VAPORIZING a cell*

Who are they, anyway? I think they were so far away so we could decide what they were like. But I wonder who they really were. They look female at the beginning, but male at the end. Since we could decide what they were like, I say we were inside Iroquois Pliskin from Metal Gear Solid 2.

Thank you so much for taking the time to record and post this, I know it's been many years but sometimes I get flashes of memory and look for stuff like this. I rode this as a kid in the 90s back when it had lines and I especially appreciate you recording the queue, pre-show, and other little bits - the kind of odd things I noticed as a kid like the signs and pictures really took me back. Also interesting tidbit, the actor who plays mission control in this is the admiral who gives command of Voyager to Janeway in the first episode of that show. He's done 1000 other things but when I was a kid watching voyager and then riding this ride, I remember recognizing him from that. I also still remember vividly an interactive piece just outside of this ride that explained how we feel hot and cold via touch. There were metal coils, one cold, then one warm, but the last one had alternating warm/cold and you could barely stand to touch it because your body was essentially telling you that it was incredibly hot even though it was barely room temperature. Super cool. I think of it more often than you'd expect, like touching the towel bar while in a hot shower, or.. other examples I can't think of right now but I'm surprised how often I've noticed that phenomenon in day to day life as an adult. Thanks again for this - and your other videos (which I'm pouring through now).

I still feel really bad for the cast members that had to clean it up. I offered to help but they rushed me to the trash can and then to a restroom as quick as they could. I got a free T-shirt and bottle of water from management.

Rode this MANY times as a young child growing up. Had the family passes when they first came out, was a lot of fun. When the ride first came out I remember the wait times exceeding 2 hours. Seemed so futuristic and incredible to a young kid. :) I really liked your video having the box in the corner zoomed on the "cockpit". Thanks so much for this flashback.

[@user-ee6qp2qd8n]

I totally agree. I went to Epcot in 1990 and this was CUTTING EDGE. Even now, when the ship enters the skin, I'm still kind of nostalgic about this ride. We rode it all day many times even with the long lines.

I loved this as a kid! I went on it in 1993, I was very young, back when Figment was still at Disney

[@MarthaRoseQuartz]

I went in 95. In 99, I rode the horrendous second version, where the ride insults you at the beginning. Needless to say, I like the first one better.

[@willausterman3104]

Figment was only gone from '99-02. The second version of Imagination was so unpopular it got the axe in near-record time. I took a survey last week at Epcot and flat out asked the proctor about Imagination. His response was that while the current attraction might not stay, Figment will always be a part of Epcot due to his sheer popularity. Figment is going nowhere.

[@willausterman3104]

Princess Sally yeah, I got that. I was just trying to convey that Figment returned shortly after your visit.

[@unwelldanny7108]

Isn't that when the narrator tells you you have no imagination? Yeah, he can say that to me, because my imagination is disturbing.

Oh gosh, I have veeerrry blurred memories of this when I was a kid. I don't remember what age I was, but I recall going on something like this and it really freaked me out. Also, are those the same vehicles they use at the Star Tours ride? They look identical on the inside.

Enigma oh I was 7 years old. I'm 23 now. I didn't cry on this thing, I wanted to.

They are the same! In fact, the simulators are no longer in the bays at Body Wars because they were scrapped for parts and used to repair the star tours simulators!

I rode this in the early 2000s and it was great. I rode a similar ride at Futuroscope in France, but it's inside of a woman there... as far as I know, we are inside of a guy here.

This one scared me as a kid. Then I think it was star tours. Liked that 1. Don't know what it is now

[@noobflakes740]

This looks a lot like star tours. I wonder if star tours was inspired by this.

[@neptune6852]

Yeah looking back at it, I think I can understand why this made people so sick, it’s pretty much space mountain with gore.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

It's not gore! It's the inside of the human body, a MIRACLE! It's the inner workings of ourselves.

[@Techno-Universal]

It’s definitely extremely innovative in terms of it’s animation and technology for 1989 but it became dated only a decade later! :)

This ride made soooo motion sick! It didn't help there was some woman repeating over and over "Oh my god I'm so nauseous, I'm so nauseous" over and over.

[@Pastshelfdate]

This was so much fun! I heard about this, today, on a podcast episode. I recognized Mr. Matthews, first, then Mr. Matheson. I didn't recognize Ms. Bellenson or Ms. Shue, because unlike male actors, women aren't allowed to keep one easily-recognized hairstyle. I try not to think of the busload of boat anchors that were really what drained the ship's power cells. ;-)

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

Who was the patient? Was it a man or a woman? If it were a woman, I don't really like that ride this much. Seeing this done with women just grosses me out. It's because all the stuff of this type I saw back in the day did it with men.

[@MissingNumber]

Oh man I vaguely remember this!

[@christianjoyce4478]

This hurts me because it’s like no one wants to ride it no one cares about it like it’s a ride they builders worked hard on to make it for people to enjoy but no one wants anything to do with it it hurts my heart and I never got to ride it ever and it looks fun

I went ten years later, and I loved watching MSB back in the day. Since I was into Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toonami, and Metal Gear Solid at the time, I would always imagine endo scenarios of Warp Darkmatter, TOM 2, and Solid Snake/Iroquois Pliskin in the style of MSB.
