Play Pavilion is worse. At least Rocket Rods actually opened.

Sometimes it seems like Disney is teasing them at EPCOT, with all of the stupid callbacks for nostalgia. "Remember how great EPCOT was pre-1998? Horizons, Figment, World of Motion?" It's all just pandering to 45 year old Gen X nostalgic men who "won't let go of the past". With the advent of AI...

It's things like this that make me wonder what executives are smoking. What the hell is going on with them?

Between Figment, the new buildings and their lack of imagination, and Guardians of The Galaxy, it's clear that EPCOT is really starting to feel kind of... sad. It doesn't feel the same even compared to 2005ish. The biggest example is the Pixar Short Film Festival. Say what you will about...

Are the Muppets really that much less popular than Monsters Inc? The ride has been super popular every time I have been there.

Never forget when Eric Idle, AKA Dr. Nigel Channing, AKA the guy who turns into a rejected design of the moon from Bear In The Big Blue House, called Figment a "purple little [f-word]"

There was actually apparently a Figment "redesign" posted. I have no clue what it was supposed to be for. You probably have seen it; here's what it looked like: It's from September 2020; i'm not entirely sure what the project was. Maybe (and I use that word with caution) they planned to...

My idea for a Figment rework. The theater building is an afterthought. You can see all of those shorts at home on your TV. And no, some subpar effects are not going to make going to see the shorts worth it. Replace Pixar's Short Film Festival with something. Anything. Magic Journeys, Captain...

Good lord I started something I need to make a "what if there was a PBS theme park?" thread, as a theoretical question of what it'd be like.

I guess i'm just so used to and tired of the minimalistic new buildings in EPCOT that are just "white and grey" that when I see something with color it makes it more appealing to me. Not much, but it's something. Living With The Land is honestly the very last classic-style EPCOT ride left...

All they would have to do, is bring back the 1983 ride and just enhance it (as by 1998 many effects were starting to age). And make a new Imageworks, maybe upstairs, maybe not. That'd be gold. But again, I don't see them doing that; I have no clue ATP what they'll do, if they'll just sit and let...

I'm still sad we haven't gotten this, though: It clearly appears to be a bigger revamp, a more exciting-looking space, than the rather tired exterior we currently have. Imagine if COVID-19 didn't happen. Who knows. Maybe EPCOT would be pretty darn good. Or still in a pretty bad state. I do...

Oh yeah! I met you at EPCOT when I was there.

Whoops. On topic to Figment: I may or may not be in the minority here, but the orange/blue exterior colors of the 1999 ride are IMO far superior to the original exterior colors. Heck, even the finale to the 2002 ride captures a lot of the spirit of the 1983 ride. That's the one truly...

Oh the wonderful hilarity of seeing Eric Idle star as Dr. Nigel Channing, evolve into a dragon, and then be altered to his original scientist self. I dunno, the 2002 ride seems to have a better comparison with Zak and Wheezie. Zak was usually rather boring and unimaginative of a person, there...

Bill Nye was actually featured in Innoventions AND Ellen's Energy Adventure.

You can hear unique Figment voice lines too! + unique animations. I wonder if the raw audio + animations will ever be uploaded.

No joke, there's a part in the video where during the finale when the screens "explode" to reveal Figment's imagination, the ride malfunctions and you can't even see all of the Figments as the screens are still there blocking the view.

I just remembered this video showing the terrible state of the ride... and it's from 2018; it was already badly outdated then.

As someone who didn't really watch Dragon Tales when it was still airing, I grew a fond love for it. Immediately once I started watching, I thought, "this is like a Journey Into Imagination cartoon, except with no Figment or Dreamfinder". It's such an imaginative, hazy toon'. My mom (who was a...
