many rides are getting to be bad shape, Disney seems adamant right now on letting actual attractions go, but they can sure spend millions on boring shrubs.

all I can say is now that's Imagination!!!!!! very nice work.OT to the ride, but I thought it would be appreciated here. So I bought my own house this summer and was finally able to get (most of) my Figment collection set up. I know there's the SSE 40th statue somewhere still in storage (when it's pulled out it'll go in the top corner where the new bucket is), and maybe a few other lil things (and definitely a bunch of plush) but I've already filled my cases. Family said I'm not allowed to buy anything else since I don't have space. I have a few prints too, but they're in my living room and need to be rearranged b/c I bought another this year (and may get another before the FARTS is over)

I think the lack of motion with the sound labs AA head was temporary, it was moving more “normal”(how it was earlier in the season) in a live stream after this video was posted.

I was on it a few weeks ago and those below HD projections are REALLY showing their age too. I don't think the eye chart was even lined up properly.

I forget which thread now but last night I mentioned how this ride needs to be put out of its misery after riding it yesterday. Its pretty bad at this point. It needs paint, it needs life, it needs a better story, it needs imagination..... Its a waste of barren space in those scenes and over twenty years later now just looks worse than ever. A lot of effects not working...figment not working...the vehicles look bad, and the queues and exit are stuck in the late 90s. Cast clearly didn't want to be there, there wasn't even anyone at the end where you get out.
But keep spending millions on your precious boring shrubs and plants and inept lights that don't work Disney, while your attractions continue to rot.
The company is completely okay with doing business this way and it has hit a new rock bottom. The ride is long over due for an overhaul, along with others. Management needs an overhaul from the top down, or were stuck with this for another twenty years. Imagination is embarrassingly limping from the inside and out.

What now? When was that?

Apparently Josh D’Amaro (Chairman of Disney Parks and Experiences,) Disney CEO Bob Iger, and Jeff Vahle (President of Walt Disney World,) were seen around Walt Disney World. Many are excited because this gave the trio a chance to see the parks from a guest’s perspective, and all the issues that...

Yep, it was the first thing you encountered after entering Imageworks...Ever wonder why there is that weird blocked off section with the lame Simon match game on the wall? (Shown here on the right hand side) That is were it was..It lasted from 2002 to 2011...
And here is what the post show was like

I rode this one last time on my trip 3 weeks ago. The AA holding the telephone was paralyzed. No movement whatsoever, just dialogue from a static figure.

I’m convinced the insides are barely hanging on and they only do the bare minimum when repairing them

Maybe it’s an inside job like burning Iago

What's weird is that there are only 3 AA's in the entire ride...
All the other Figments are either Screen based or Static Store statues...So, why is it so much more important if a screen goes down or statue fell over and not fix these AA's when they use to move decently over 20 years ago?

They probably just got lost trying to leave the park
