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 ā€œthe Magic Eye Theater will be home to a brand new show starring the characters from PIXAR’s hit Inside Out franchise.ā€
100% this. Remember when we thought they were announcing a figment redo, and they just announced the meetable character?!?

I don’t mind inside out in magic eye, and i think it’s the winning move if you wanna do a fan service figment redo.

Not everyone is gonna get who figment and his beardo friend are, so inside out is a good ā€œhookā€ to draw people in, and then they ride the new figment while they are there. Also gets inside out in the pavilion in some form, pleasing execs and getting that IP mandate in.

I believe the dreamfinder, figment, and inside out can all exist in harmony.

My biggest fear has always been the inverse. Inside Out gets the attraction while Disney throws fans a bone with a Figment show in Magic Eye. Glad that’s not what insiders believe is happening

Taking both JII and the theater out of commission will barely be felt by park goers. Last month JII was 5 minutes and/or walk on, on 3 separate days visiting epcot, and there were about 10 people watching the shorts collection at the theater. Of course, it'll be made into a big deal by vloggers who will bemoan Figment being updated...

Great. Now we’re going to see scented candles called Figment’s 40 YO Sweaty Balls
Give it free with the popcorn bucket next year
Wait so, lemmie get this straight. For years and years people say: ā€œbring figment back, make his ride good again, to make him only a mascot while inside out takes the pavilion would be a crime!ā€

Only to switch up and say: ā€œYknow, figments ride is bad, we should only make him a mascot and give his ride to someone else. Would be for the bestā€

What do you all even actually want?
If they aren't gonna replace it with a good Figment ride, just replace it with a good ride.

Also, you may have the wrong guy. im not someone who says disney is ruining the world by taking down unpopular rides with a cult following in the internet community. I just want good rides and no DJ in the epcot hub.

Now that armchair imagineering is just real (door coaster, Villains Land, change Dino to Indy, put Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem in RNRR), I feel like Inside Out in the Cranium Command theater is more likely than Imagination 4.0 being Inside Out featuring Figment.
You could really turn all of WOL into an Inside Out "Mind" pavillion
The franchise has such a large scope of ideas that could be explored at EPCOT

Each section of the pavillion could be themed to a different part of Riley's mind
Imagination Land for playgrounds, Headquarters for M&Gs, Islands of personality for interactive educational elements, etc

It would be a shame to waste Inside Out on just a 3D movie at magic eye

Everyone just assumes the theatre's "cranium" style auditorium is still intact...

If "insiders" had any clue at all what was happening with Figment, the pavilion would have been overhauled a decade ago at the minimum. Nothing is happening until TWDC says otherwise.

If Muppetvision can teach us anything, its that any possible scenario can happen. Muppetvision was completely untouchable until two seconds ago. If they can axe a show that beloved, don't think they won't kick figment out of the ride again.

I've been hearing for the last few months that Figment could be as soon as Destination D23 for what it's worth. I think "Hype Moments and Aura" brain have me thinking they're holding it for D23 2026 but if they wanna actively get a move on making EPCOT "fresh" for the 50th, I think it gets announced sooner rather than later.
I hope more this Figment refresh is planned for Epcot.

If they are ā€œturbochargingā€ investments into the parks additional projects should be in the works.
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.
Agree wholeheartedly.

Exactly this.

The ā€˜Inside Out’ rumors need to die.
Not happening.

It seems every couple of years this pops up from some random poster and I have to comment here.
This is not happening and it is NOT needed.

The Imagination Pavillion already has its own ā€˜IP’.
It does NOT need to become yet another casualty caused by yet another unneeded Pixar overlay.

ā€˜Inside Out’ has nothing to do with being imaginative …
Epcot already has ( or more specifically had ) a wonderful imaginative premise for the Pavillion here, along with two highly imaginative custom made characters.
Enough already with the Pixar crap.

One of the major characters from the first film is an imaginary friend. They literally go on a journey into Riley’s imagination.

It’s not the primary focus of the movie, but it would be a better fit than several of the IPs that Disney has shoehorned in places lately.

And its a shallow and basic take on imagination with an imaginary friend character that's even more obnoxious and annoying then the current version of Figment.
