EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[Brer Panther]

D’Amaro really just has it out for Dave Goelz.
I mean, just look at how hard he has to force this smile.View attachment 866673

I still wouldn't put it past Disney to fire Dave because they think he's "gotten too old" to do Gonzo's voice like they did to Paige O'Hara and Phil Harris.

His Gonzo is still decent but Waldorf is definetly past him. I don't think we've heard him do anything with Bunsen in a while, though.

Imagination 4 is a "In case everybody is ed off at us, break glass" move. I think that criteria has been reached.

I feel like Imagination 4 is gonna be coupled with another beloved attraction going away.

 

[Tha Realest]

Eh. It kind of smells like 40 years of sweaty balls and the ac isnt as good.

Also, id argue that under the sea is a better ride than journey into imagination in its current state

Great. Now we’re going to see scented candles called Figment’s 40 YO Sweaty Balls

Josh: “As part of the new updated scenes in Soarin’, and as we continue to learn more about biomes and food sustainability, it’s soon going to be time so say goodbye to Living with the Land —“

(Crescendo of boos rain down)

Josh: “Hold on… wait…” (emphatically lowers hands) “…wait - listen…”

(Boos continue, but subside a bit)

Josh: “Wait, what was that?” (Josh barely masks his annoyance that the audio cue didn’t cut in yet”

(Interminably long four second)

Audio: “One little spark…”

They’re replacing tower of terror with another monstropolis land out of spite.

Everything is monstropolis.

Nah. Launch Bay will move in there... while AC sits fully empty.

Disney knows how to do legacy fan/AP spite...

within the same park or not necessarily?, I have a feeling of what the trade off might be.

I hope that when Dave steps down, it’ll be on his terms. I especially hope that he’s already working with someone to take on some of his characters. I don’t want another Matt Vogel Kermit situation where he was just thrust into the deep end (and the internet won’t let you forget it).

"Oh, no! We didn't produce enough laughs to power this elevator! We're going down!"

Yeah, I think they should let Dave train somebody to take over as Gonzo, Bunsen, etc. like how Jerry Nelson trained Matt Vogel to take over as his characters. Though hopefully Dave will stick around a while longer.

It's worth noting that Bill Baretta did Bunsen in the first episode of Muppets Tonight and it sounded really good, so he could always take over for Dave as that character.

Are there any replacements rumored right now? The only one I can think of is HOP.

You. You are going to be replaced with IP.

I've been hearing whispers about one, but the park it'd be at has enough stuff being worked on to where it wouldn't close til that stuff opens.

I'm guessing a Jungle Book overlay to Kali

 

[Brer Oswald]

I can see them teasing it with a stock picture of Dreamfinder and Figment this year, and that’s about all I can see.

I think I have a good idea what park that could be, guess wise.

The only wonder is WHAT they’d go for, because there are many candidates.

I don’t know. Maybe?

Don’t take this as a hint please. I know just as little as you.

So that rules out EPCOT

 

[Fox&Hound]

Calling it now:
In August D’Amaro is going to stand on the stage and talk about what a success the new Test Track overhaul is. Then he’ll talk about other fan favorites in EPCOT that the company is looking to bring up to date. The picture on the screen behind him will switch to a picture of the Imagination pavilion. Fans will collectively take a huge breath before D’Amaro bursts their bubble by saying “the Magic Eye Theater will be home to a brand new show starring the characters from PIXAR’s hit Inside Out franchise.”

100% this. Remember when we thought they were announcing a figment redo, and they just announced the meetable character?!?
