EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[lazyboy97o]

Image Works violated a bunch of codes for a time, but was brought up to code back in 2016. Same year that they did the same to Body Wars, which also violated many codes up until that point.

Even something "brought up to code" in 2016 can very easily still be deficient today, especially if the scope of work increases. Limited areas of work likely avoided triggering a Level III renovation.

We’re getting another Figment Funko Pop figure to be released on Saturday! This is my preferred “little chef!”

The more merchandise they release of him, the better our chances of him sticking around in Imagination

Yeah! And if chapek happens to get replaced due to the current mess with the parks management, then hopefully whoever replaces him understands that figment is a profitable character, rather than just shoving him aside for inside out or some other IP.

I agree, Onward is the obvious choice to replace Figment. Bing Bong is soooo 2015.

So is rose gold

Any chance of an October 1st announcement? I’ve heard that Brazil, Figment, and Coco will be announced that day. Not sure how valid just curious.

If you're "hearing things", better go see a doctor about that.

If someone told you some inside information, what was the nature of the source?

Literally some random guy on Twitter. I’m just trying to get validation to see if it makes any sense... lol.

This sounds like a “bus driver told a friend of mine who told me” situation lol.

yes, probably. Just thought I’d come here to verify it since it does make a little sense.

Also if this were to be true, then Disney probably would’ve just announced it at D23. It would’ve made more sense since they would’ve gained a massive audience reaction from it. From August To October gives them 1
month to come up with a new V4 idea, Which is nearly not enough time to come up with a finalized, green-lit idea. I hope that clears some stuff up for you, it’s just something to think about. I would want this to be true, and maybe it is maybe it’s not, we will just have to see. I would definitely say to not get your hopes up, but you never know...

Yeah, Imagination will probably be saved for when some of the stuff already seen in the preview projection mapping film opens, requiring new stuff to be swapped in.

I wouldn’t take it as a sign to worry. It just states that the CURRENT incarnation of the ride is subject to change in the next year, so when it refers to “details” it’s most likely referring to the current state of the ride and it’s elements (examples: imagination institute, Nigel Channing, etc...).

It could even refer to being closed for renovation at some point in 2020.

Yup! Although it seems like that won’t be the case since @marni1971 said we should expect imagination v4 to be finished at least by 2025, and it probably won’t take them from 2020 to 2025 to construct a new attraction. Also, it does day SUBJECT to change in 2020, so I am Definately not counting on anything to happen with imagination until at least 2021.

So...if it indeed goes down in 2020...would they have to announce this soon? Perhaps..October 1st?

Yes, that would make sense IF it were to go down In 2020. However, like I said, I wouldn’t get my hopes up too much based on the dates Martin has given us...

UoE and GMR got a 4ish month notice. They don't need much time.

 

[AdventureMP4z]

Maybe they will close it around when Ratatouille opens?

Is that a guess?
