An Increasingly Redundant EPCOT Center Update! - Saturday, September 19th, 2009

[EPCOTPluto]

Not kidding, I was there. It was a happy coincidence. I don't know exactly when it was, but it had just opened and I think this was only like the second time we had been on it, so we were waiting in the big switchback queue they had set up infront of the building (45 Min. line) and the ride had just come back up from being broken for a few minutes. Minutes later, there he is in his Baseball cap with the entourage of security and executives, coming out from the bypass hallway and out the front doors, looking very upset.

We were all stunned (Never saw him ever or since) and asked one of the Cast Members, and said it was indeed him, and they were all panicking about getting the ride working again, and that they got it up with only five minutes to spare.

:lol:

Nice timing!

Now if Eisner rallied for more than Figment to return.... :lookaroun

I think he did all he could do, seeing that he IS back, and they had already spent loads of money on the JIYI2.0.:wave:

Behavior is situational.....You saw Figgy as a very annoyed and disgruntled Imagination Institute Employee, that day that you took your tour...:lookaroun

Oh man....wow. You two have LOST it!

Nice try in both cases. Both excuses make sense, but I'm not buyin' it! My theory is that he was a curious youngster in JII, then when they finally brought him back, he was in his mid to upper teens. Now he's a punk a$$, rude teenager.

How's that one? Not as good, I know.

These excuses we are making are ALL crocks.:lol:


So, what can we expect in 4.0? Mature Figgy?:lookaroun

I always thought Figment was ageless....

And no, it doesn't give him the excuse to start imagining with a bottle of wine nearby. :zipit::zipit::zipit:

That is WIN. Those poor WDI reps.:lol:

(Not really, they killed Figgy. ):lookaroun

The guys who brought him back are nice though, on the first day it opened an Imagineer actually took the time with me to explain all the cool hidden programming and stuff on the ride.
:lol: :sohappy:
