It's more likely that the pavilion itself has become less popular as time has gone on and Disney just hasn't known what to do with it, especially after dropping about $130 million between MS and Soarin' and the current refurb of Spaceship Earth (again with funding from a "sponsor"). Or is Disney carrying the "world's fair" vibe too far with each pavilion being controlled by it's own corporate entity like NY 64-65 with Pepsi, Coke, Ford, the countries of Sweden, Japan, Norway, the states of NY, NJ, Florida, Illinois?
Sorry if it's lame but that's the way it is. All the other pavilions have sponser corporations and they just can't find a company that's willing to fork over the money to sponser Wonders of Life because it needs updating. As I understand it, they're looking for a pharmaceutical (sp?) company and haven't had any luck.
