The future of this pavilion is more important/exciting to me than almost all of the announced additions coming to WDW. A return to its' original purpose would do wonders for this park. What one attraction could do....

And Figment and Dreamfinder could give the park an IDENTITY again. Every innovation begins with imagination and a dream, after all. I don't understand why TDO can't see the potential that's there with Dreamfinder. He's an avatar for all innovators everywhere. Walt Disney was a Dreamfinder. Edison was a Dreamfinder. George Washington Carver was a Dreamfinder. Madame Curie was a Dreamfinder. Dreamfinder and Figment could give EPCOT a cohesive narrative. Come ON, TDO, wake up and see what's in front of you! What you already have!

Very well said. Perfect mascots and ambassadors for whatever new direction Future World will take. It's an easy fix.

Those photos are great.
The original colors and greenery growing over the top level always looked so nice.
The Original Attraction always had a healthy line back at that time.
Next to 'Spaceship Earth', it was the Parks absolute 'must see' Attraction for years.

JII was my favorite EPCOT attraction for years- until they revised it and ruined it.

Would love to see three pavilions get some love at Epcot. Imagine how spread out the crowds could be. Ugh

The 'jellyfish fountain' is what you are looking for.
I have photos, but not digitized for uploading and sharing at the moment.
A quick search online (or Martin's quick hand ) will turn some images up for you.
The Imagination Pavilion opened with three distinctly designed water fountains -
The well known 'leap frog fountain' where streams of water quite literally leaped over your head from pad to pad.
The 'upside down fountain' seen as you approach the Pavilion, to its left.
The flow of the water makes it appear that it is running 'up' instead of down as you would expect.
And lastly, the 'jellyfish fountain' which featured a geometric clear arcylic sculpture.
It gets it name from the spurts of water it would shoot into the air above itself.
As the bursts of water fell in midair, the shapes resembled jellyfish.

Edison was a stubborn narcissist who hated any brilliant ideas that weren't his own. He stifled dreams with lawyers or, failing that, thugs. The reason the movie industry is out in California is that that is as far away from Edison's New Jersey as you could get without falling into the sea.
