I saw that to, almost went on because I thought I have missed some kind of news about a surprise dream finder announcement or something like that

Ok so the wait time for journey into imagination with figment is 25What is happening? Is it just for AC? Or for 1 last ride?
It's just for AC.

And probably because Soarin' is down and people are just looking to go somewhere.

Can confirm it has been like this since I arrived on Tuesday. It's possibly due to Soarin' and Malestrom being closed, it's one of the few activities in EPCOT that would entertain younger kids. (I saw many toddlers in the queue when I went there, and I was using Fastpass +) and because it's in between World Showcase and people would want to stop there for a break before walking some more.

The wait went up when FP+ was added. I imagine that people who don't really know much about the parks just pick FP+'s because they want 3 and Journey ends up as one of their picks. Before it had a FP+ line we used to ride it shortly after 11am on the way into World Showcase and it was virtually walk on at that time. Since FP+ was added the standby line has usually shown 25 mins at that time as we enter World Showcase.

I wouldn't expect a random day in the middle of April to draw that kind of crowd at that pavilion, especially when I've seen it with a wait time of "Open" in the middle of July. Like the previous posters said, it's probably a combination of Soarin' closed and FP+.

There is quite a bit do there for little one. Currently only two rides with a height limit since Soarin is closed.

Figment was waaaaay better back in the day, more animatronics, the interactive area was way better. This was like 10-15+ yrs ago.
I thought that it was a surprise also

Oh dear! That's actually quite sad! I can't believe that wait time!
It was walk on last year, and almost looked abandoned/closed!

Shouldn't be a surprise as that is one of the reasons for FP+. It was to control traffic and send people to attractions that otherwise might not get a lot of attention thus spreading out the crowds a little. We that have been a gazillion times know that some attractions aren't in need of FP, but newbies do not know that. Hence each attraction gets reborn although, unfortunately, not any better.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

I doubt the closure of Maestrom is why it has long wait times.. But definitely Soarin'.. And any time Test Track breaks down.

I'd go with Soarin' because it is right next door. When Test Track goes down Ellen benefits because it is on the same side and therefore is less walking. We are not the most ambitious of societies.

We were there in earl March and saw this on the wait times portion of the MDE app many times.

This isn't specifically what is being discussed on this thread, but it is somewhat related. We were at MK today and it was "Dapper Day" which we always enjoy and today was exceptional. We came across this one guy that we thought was great for Dapper Day but it was a little odd that he was in MK and not at Epcot.
