Wasted depends on how much magical booze is in that coke.

Given how early it closes I think they could do some of that now should they want to.

Not enough to be worth keeping around. The view is slightly worth it at least.
It's open long enough to shift one group. Anymore hours would mean it needs to have an additional group.

Kind of random, but the Imagineering video Disney Parks Blog shared today was called "Journey into Imagineering." In my opinion, that sounds like a reference.

Maybe we get a projection on the Imagination domes of Figment as they shutter the ride to save some money

Oh good grief. A reference is a reference, and Disney is nothing but referential, especially when it comes to anything from WDI. It’s relevant to the topic. Let us have something during these challenging times. We can’t even go to EPCOT to be assaulted by skunk Figment!

Well, if a skunk gets spooked in your neighborhood you can get a whiff of that to simulate it...

It's nuts how this version of the ride will be around way longer than the original. I'm sorry that's just mind boggling stupid.

This is a dumb suggestion. You don't like this ride, so they should shut it down. Let's give more excuses to shuttering rides and reducing capacity in the name of saving money.
The thing should have been replaced 15 years ago with a proper update, but what we have is better than nothing. If you don't like it, don't go there.

Benefits Disney because they don't have to run it and it keeps social distancing a bit more under control, benefits us because it's more likely that the space is used for something practical next time it opens.

It's not as bad as it was when I went in 2017. They have fixed some stuff up. But the Figment AA in the sound lab is sad to see how bad in condition it is.
Sorry for being a poopy pants, but there's plenty of Disneyana to focus on that's real and hopeful rather than a fan-fueled non-rumor that will only lead to perpetual disappointment. Don't let this be another Yeti thread of insufferable suffering.
Time to move through the stages of grief, because... it's dead, Jim.

We know nothing, ultimately. We hear things from insiders and either get more hope or lose it. But as we’ve seen with current events, everything can change at the drop of a hat.
This virus is going to kill travel and Disney is going to have to rely on APs to keep the parks thriving. It may not be the typical WDW model, but it’s what has saved Disney Parks in the past - their loyal customers, not the elusive once-in-a-lifetime visitors that they’ve been focused on.
And who do APs at WDW love? Figment.
For every reason listed as to why it won’t happen, there are just as many reasons that it will.
