EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

I think giving Figment a new, actually good ride is the play versus making him into a mascot like that.
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.

Ariel's ride sucks too, should we just reduce HER to a mascot?
Her ride is fine. Its nice and cool on a summer day and often has no wait.

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.

Honestly all of this pavillion would do so well as inside out. I know people love figment, but just make him a mascot - his ride sucks
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!”

Only to switch up and say: “Yknow, figments ride is bad, we should only make him a mascot and give his ride to someone else. Would be for the best”

What do you all even actually want?

Pushing Figment out of his pavilion RIGHT after closing Muppets would be an insane move.
D’Amaro really just has it out for Dave Goelz.
I mean, just look at how hard he has to force this smile.

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"

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.

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