The neighborhoods were set up so that just about anything could go anywhere short of Nature. The last project for Wonders of Life was quite literally just a dumping ground for any franchise they wanted, and was developed with its new neighborhood in mind. The definitions are so ambiguous that "Celebration" and "Discovery" and be twisted to mean anything.
I think giving Figment a new, actually good ride is the play versus making him into a mascot like that.
I am against it because the Inside Out characters are so painfully obvious for the former Wonders of Life Pavilion putting them into Imagination would just be insulting.
His park sucks now too.
Ariel's ride sucks too, should we just reduce HER to a mascot?
Im that would be my preference too. But if they wont do a ride without IP, I dont know how thats gonna happen. Anything is better than what we have now.
Her ride is fine. Its nice and cool on a summer day and often has no wait.
Figment’s ride is also cool on a summer day with no wait
That's the one thing it is good for.
Eh. It kind of smells like 40 years of sweaty balls and the ac isnt as good.
It really is a question of whether Figment is considered IP or not. For better or for worse Iger has been somewhat inconsistent about what is considered IP. In the sense that he has (mostly) left the existing non-IP rides alone. I guess if it makes money he considers it successful enough on it's own but he rarely greenlit anything without an IP tie-in. Also my guess is by the time the next iteration opens we will have a new CEO. Whether he/she will actually be a creative or an Iger clone we shall see but it is possible the next person could have the creative sensibilities of an Eisner at best. There will likely never be another Walt figure.
Wait so, lemmie get this straight. For years and years people say: “bring figment back, make his ride good again, to make him only a mascot while inside out takes the pavilion would be a crime!”
D’Amaro really just has it out for Dave Goelz.
Seeing this photo again after MuppetVision closed is so funny to me. Dave and Gonzo look like a father and son posing for a photo while D Amaro is like "Must ... control ... hunger ... for ... frog legs"
Imagination 4 is a "In case everybody is ed off at us, break glass" move. I think that criteria has been reached.
