Someone mentioned that Figment made another appearance in Inside Out 2. For anyone who watched it or is going to, was this the same art piece used before or was this different?

Seeing Inside Out 2's projections keep going upward and upward and outperforming even the brightest predictions is the absolute nightmare scenario for Figment fans it feels. They'll want a ride ASAP, Epcot is where they keep talking about taking the IP, and sure there's many scenarios like taking over WOL or Magic Eye that might happen, but it really can't be ruled out they go for the quickest revamp option of taking over JII and either co-sharing with Figment or kicking him down to Magic Eye. We can be told that won't happen but we know leadership's minds can flip quickly, and something this big might make alienating the diehard park fans be outweighed.

Hopefully Tony Baxter comes back like he said he’s always wanted to. My concern is that they’ll either refuse to invite him or use him like they ‘used’ him for TBA. However, I’d happily take Figment and Dreamfinder’s Runaway Railway over the current iteration. Not that I’d prefer that over a revised version of the original or something taking inspiration from Mystic Manor, but the bar is set so low with imagination V3, I feel that anything would be an upgrade. This is also my biggest concern, because V3 is so hated, Disney can do the bare minimum and still say ‘it’s better than what you had!’

Disney basically told Tony to get lost after the Bayou Adventure development fiasco so I would be very surprised if he comes back

Yep, I’m still concerned as much as I love Inside Out

Hopefully Disney is not rash and jumps to replace Imagination with an Inside Out overlay.

TBA should be a fair warning with wanting a quick turnaround just to please shareholders.

WOL is sitting right there abandoned and would actually restore park capacity to Epcot. The IP deserves its own well thought out attraction.

For the last time.

No. Inside Out is not taking over Journey Into Imagination. Magic Eye and Wonders of Life is on the table. But Figment will maintain being the star of the ride. Disney is aware of his popularity and the backlash they would receive if they took him out, especially after the last 5 years or so of ramping up giving him a more prominent role and ESPECIALLY after giving him a new Meet and Greet.

stop fear mongering.


Figment is not going anywhere. He's recently made his first two non-park appearances (outside of the comic) in a children's book and Disney SpeedStorm. Slap on continued investment into the character thru festival merch and the meet and greet, and that is not a character on the way out. Figment has a level of protection seen in things like the Tiki Birds and Haunted Mansion.

The absolute worst case, mind-numbing scenario is a crossover ride, but that's NEVER been on the table.

Figment is safe. Inside Out placement is aimed at Magic Eye or Wonders of Life, with both focusing on the same end goal (an AA focused show akin to Cranium Command).

So if Inside Out took over the WoL pavilion would it be a Cranium Command type show and a new ride that replaces Body Wars?

How tall is Emotional Whirlwind at DCA? And chance that could it inside of the main pavilion of WoL, becoming a centerpiece whilst also adding Epcot's first flat rides? If not, they could probably use the moulds for the characters and memory walls that they made for DCA

I know about a show. Body Wars structure is completely gone and that'd just be an all new ride.

Would be cool if they turned the entire thing into a “human brain” pavilion. Inside Out being a show based on your emotions. Then a dark ride based on other functions of the brain and how they interact with the rest of your body (using visuals inspired by the art style of Inside Out).

I’d like to see them take the Body Wars space and do a spiritual successor to Adventures Thru Inner Space that instead shrinks you and lets you travel through the human brain. A compact Omnimover would do wonders (of life!) in that space.

Cranium Command should be revisited and expanded into the marquee Inside Out attraction where you sit inside of Riley’s head with the emotions and help them through a span of random events she experiences.

The Body Wars replacement in a perfect world should be closer in vision to the original edutainment EPCOT, with the chief priority being educating the riders about the human brain in a fun way that features the Inside Out characters and aesthetic just as a supplement, almost like how they used Goofy in the original Wonders of Life

Couldn't agree more! A compact Omnimover would be great for that pavilion, not everything has to be a flashy E-Ticket
