Has JIYM Closed yet for rehab

[jazcatsnh]

Question gang. The ride was supposed to close on the 8th for a redo with figment. Anyone been there since to see if it did close?

Thanks.

Hi, all. I know from some other posts that the new(est) JIY would probably consist of more Figment. And at one point there was the Monsters, Inc rumor (which I now beleive is dead, no?). Are there any more recent rumors about what the theme of the ride may be? If anyone has heard anything, please share

From what I've heard, Monsters INC is till going to be built, with figment as one of the monsters.

I have heard Monsters, Inc is indeed dead and the ride will just be "Figment's Journey into Imagination". But I guess nobody knows until it opens or until disney makes an announcement.

Wasn't the whole Monsters INC rehab just a, *FIGMENT* , of Jim Hill's *imagination*?

By gosh, I think is was!

But this still leaves the question of what WILL the ride be, if its not going to be that! Anyone know?

I may just be adding fuel to this rumor, but here goes:

I just spent three days at Epcot. (don't ask) Outside Imagination, I noticed a cart selling Monsters, Inc. merchendise. Foreshadowing???

Also about the ride... It seems as if the second floor is still intact. Although the ride is closed, Image works is still opened. If you go through the hallway leading from the main entrance to Image Works, you can see the escalator that once took people upstairs. Look up to see a portion of the second level. When walking through Image works, towards the ride exit, look to your right. You can see the elevator and spiral staircase completely intact!!!
