The ride in Norway is devoted to Frozen version 1. Frozen II deserves it's own attractions. Considering its popularity, it might be a good idea to have different attractions in each park specifically for Frozen II. Each different attraction could have its own staring character. Elsa could be at MK, Anna at Epcot, Olaf at DHS and Sven at AK.
Frozen 2 has its own attraction: Now appearing at the Sommerhus.
Olaf's Frozen Adventure has its own attractions: Hyperion Theater singalong and Sunset Blvd. projections and Minnie's fireworks during the holidays.
Frozen Fever appears in FEA.

I can only assume they will combine Figment with whatever IP sells the most in that store. That is, if they keep Figment at all...

Yeah, I feel that Disney will want to bring in inside out to replace imagination, since chapek will want as much IP in EPCOT as possible, but I also feel that they will most likely keep figment but integrate him into the ride to please the fans of figment. However I still want an updated version of the original, and would take that over any other replacement.

I don't think Inside Out sells more merchandise than Figment does. Both times I've been to Disney since it was released, I didn't see more merchandise for it than I saw merchandise for Figment. Plus Pete Docter told the Imagineers that it was a bad idea getting rid of Figment, but who knows if Iger and Chapek will listen to him?

Bob Iger himself stated live on stage in front of thousands at the 2013 D23 Expo that it was 'a mistake' closing and removing Dreamfinder / the Original Attraction.
It was nice to finally get a official public acknowledgement of the fact that it was indeed a action that the Company now regrets.
For those wanting to hear for themselves, find any video on YouTube that has Bob's complete opening statement during the presentation of the Disney Legend award to Tony Baxter.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it back then...but it sure was nice to finally hear ol' Bob fess up to what many of us knew the moment the wrecking crew arrived.

Kind of an empty statement considering nothing has been done about it yet.

It doesn’t. They won’t get rid of Figment. They’ll just pair him with some other IP to “maximize profit”.

The New Mutants Trailer May Reveal THIS Beloved X-Men Character
The most recent The New Mutants trailer may have just given us our first real glimpse at Lockheed. Blink and you'll miss him.

Well, I'll take that over no Figment at all...
Or has been said numerous times by multiple members here: Why not just give Figment and Dreamfinder a Disney+ series to re-establish the characters with the added intent to use said show as the basis for constructing a new worthy replacement attraction.
Seems a good fit for Disney+. :Shrugs:

There is another...Disney doesn't own Spyro, but I was surprised to find there's another IP dragon sporting royal purple pigment out there that they do own and will be appearing in theaters this April.The New Mutants Trailer May Reveal THIS Beloved X-Men Character

I'm not sure there's any real clamoring for the original ride. I vaguely remember riding on the old version and have seen POV videos. Seems that the ride teeters between nostalgia and boredom.
