So why exactly did Disney ruin Journey Into Imagination?

If you want an Inside Out attraction, just crank up the old Cranium Command and let'er rip.

I'm guessing they chose to be in the Imagination Pavillion because of the enormous success of the Bing Bong character. His merchandise flew off the shelves during Christmas of 2016, toddlers and cute-loving adults adore him, and his plush is the only Inside Out one that's still being sold at the Disney Store. Just take a look at this photo that was shot last Monday at the Roosevelt Field Mall:
Some people don't like rides a majority of people like. It's a Small World is a big example of this.
You missed so much.
To be fair, we'll probably be dead first.

I posted this a while ago but this is how I think it would have looked if it ever happened.
On the brighter side we might be dead before IPcot has festivals 365 days of the year.
Well, I don't know about that -- they're cranking up festivals, runs, and other events faster than ever...
Scrappy Doo was originally supposed to star in an attraction called "Journey Into Annoyance".
They actually completed a project at Disney that was originally going to be called "Journey Into Lack of Imagination", but instead they renamed it the new narration for the Tommorowland Transit Authority.

Those are all the figments used in the final scene correct?

So little of Inside Out actually has to do with Imagination. The IP would honestly work better in an updated wonders of life.

Correct. I believe the moon figment and the telephone/Taste and touch lab Figment are also from the original ride as well. I highly doubt they made any new animatronic figures because they pretty much all look on point to the 1980s ride version.
Knowing how current Disney shoehorns an IP anywhere they can, I'm surprised this hasn't been done already.I posted this a while ago but this is how I think it would have looked if it ever happened.

After a 12 year stretch (1990 - 2002) between WDW trips, JIYI was the first attraction I did on my return -- on my honeymoon. I did not know the ride had changed.
It probably goes without saying that it was not a great start to our magical week. And it certainly did not impress my new bride, who had never been to Walt Disney World before.
I remember telling her, "There are better attractions here. Really!"

Every cartoon in which he appeared was a "Journey into Annoyance."

If the original was still around then she would have been very impressed.

I took my kids (at the time 8 and twin s) for the first time about six years ago and decided it must just be my rose colored glasses and the kids will love the new version.
The train scared the twins and then it broke down with us stuck for 20 minutes in front of the smell screens that kept spraying skunk scent at us and we had to be walked out. We did not go back that trip. Now its a ride done in irony...We have to ride it in the same way you watch a really bad movie. Its so bad its fun to make your own commentary.
Oddly, I will be sad when this ride goes away, just because of the family survival day we experienced.

I'm not so sure about this. While the original is vastly better than the current abomination that's running, it still wasn't all that great, at least for me.

Hmm, seems like Eisner actually cared about rides and could at least facilitate changes to attractions.
Nothing beats the attractions WDW got under Eisner.
He did to a certain degree. He demanded Imagination 2 and Alien Encounter be changed.
There again he also demanded to know what had been done to the ToT after riding it in DCA. No one had the courage to say this was what your budget cut did. Not to his face on that day anyway.
