I’d find it hilarious if they closed the pavilion one day without any further notice, and secretly revived 1.0 without saying anything only to casually reopen a year later as if nothing happened

They did that when they closed it for JIYI, they could do it again.

This video kills me every time
in fact it’s one of the only acknowledgements of the fact it was closing at the time I’ve seen posted

Visited our friend today!! Still alive and kicking (aside from the hands
). Got some shots of the MAPO sticker on his base and the air hoses running out the bottom of his foot

Oh absolutely. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Dreamfinder head being restored, luckily pneumatics have a long shelf life, doesn’t seem like his mech is at all rusted or anything like that. Mainly cosmetic issues with the old latex

How'd they know it'd close? Insider information? All I could think of.

Think about how amazing V1 would be now with LED, projection mapping, AA advancements, and sound upgrades to the original ride.
That is the only acceptable way forward. Fully immersive reboot of the original with today’s innovation.
But we all know what will happen if Iger and his budget get anywhere near this ride.
IP, Value Engineered, creatively void story, 70% dead space, that will fall apart in 2
weeks.

Genuine question but is this still an attraction?
Shameful.
What next bringing back Captain EO ?

I hope that this monstrosity of a moon gets a small reference or cameo somewhere in whatever new version of figment we eventually get.

Funny enough Captain EO has gotten several Easter Eggs in the new Skeleton Crew show so anything’s possible.
A mix of Money, Disney being hesitant to spend on something not attached to an ip, and a 4.0 consistently having to fight for the green light against bigger projects that would be more flagship additions to the resort and easier to market. No excuse this shambling corpse has been left around this long, especially with how much figment merch makes.
This is along the lines of what I usually what I say to illustrate to my GP friends about how bad of a switch this was and how bad it is compared to what it was before:
“In the original figment, you go through multiple different highly detailed fantasy landscapes that each highlight a different way imagination can be used to have positive impact in the world. In the ride we have now, Figment farts in your face.”
Need I say more?

I like to think that Dream finder and Figment put him like that as an eternal purgatory for what he did

Yes, and rumors that had gone around the internet way ‘way’ back when. On the old message board sites.

Just curious if they had used the same facial mold on the Mayor of Phantom Manor since that AA is "technically" the only full set Dreamfinder.

Yes its the same mold. Disney has a habit of reusing old molds, especially in older rides. For example a bunch of the presidents are in SSE.Just curious if they had used the same facial mold on the Mayor of Phantom Manor since that AA is "technically" the only full set Dreamfinder.

Also, Skeleton Crew is legitimately great. If you aren't watching, you should definitely tune in!

Second. I’m surprised how much I like it despite me feeling like it doesn’t really feel like a Star Wars story.
