Weirdly, I feel like we’re getting an Imagination 4.0 announcement this next D23 cycle…they’ve been on a bit of a development push with new experiences, and the inevitable time to make the change is nearing a breaking point. Either this or Spaceship Earth will get its due sooner than later. They can’t push it off too much longer.
But that's what we said last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the ....

I feel that whatever we get will probably be much better than versions 2 and 3 but I really don't think todays Imagineering could actually deliver something as good as the original. It will probably end up being the second best version after the original assuming it is done right.

Last I heard was SSE would go down first (after TT reopened), open, then Imagination would go down but open in time for Epcot 50. I expected the longterm SSE refurb (2 years) but it's looking like a brief refurb now.
Maybe they switched positions, but it would be nice to see the both of them to be all updated back to back. Especially for Epcot 50.

"What everyone wants" is just the original ride brought back. A new version of JII is almost certainly not going to be able to live up to that, so yeah, it probably will be. The bar is just very low right now, nearly anything would be an improvement over what's there now

Everybody loved test track 3.0, and NONE of that was up to anyone’s predictions! I think the imagination 4.0 we all want is something we don’t even KNOW we want.
And with how imagineering is as of late, and with test track, i trust imagineering to bring us a good NEW dreamfinder and figment adventure.

Test Track is fine for what it is but remember this WDI also gave us Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

With today's technology of lights, screens, 3d mapping - a modern take on Journey Into Imagination could really be an excellent attraction in a form of a new adventurous dark ride. Not as chaotic as Runaway Railway, but with an uptick in terms of adventure & maturity like the Dreamfinder/figment comic book series; mixed with Mystic Manor style route of fun. It's a no-brainer hit!

My big question about this new hypothetical version is not if figment will be back. That’s a no brainer. Also not the track, I think they can make it work. My BIG wonder for a potential figment 4.0 is: does dreamfinder come back?
He was in the comic way back when and the golden book from like a year or two ago. And his ship had appeared as a reference in multiple spots in EPCOT as of late. (Meet and greet and some murals, as well as festival stuff). Will imagineering pull the trigger with him though?

Worst-case scenario: Imagination 4.0 is Inside Out plus Figment. Just give them the theater next door and let Dreamfinder and Figment take the ride.

That was thanks to GM...and like someone else said Imagineering also gave us the tianapoo hill, so ....yeah I dont trust them but holding out hope to be pleasantly surprised when or if they do something there.

maybe, things have been looking better in what they have been doing and announcing since back then so thats a fair point.

Hot take, but after all this time, if we don’t get Dreamfinder in 4.0…..I don’t want it at all.
I know people are expecting v4 Figment, but part of me is ready for Bob to get tired of hearing whining about Figment and just walk into the ride like -

Honestly, I think just having Inside Out with no Figment would be far worse.
