Howdy! I wanted to start a list of "attraction reflections" (or nods to late or existing attractions) in the Journey into Imagination with Figment attraction.
- SOUND LAB -
Train Effect: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
- SIGHT LAB -
"Follow the bouncing Figment" - audience participation; a technique Walt loved (used in attractions as the Enchanted Tiki Room and Carousel of Progress).
Butterfly in the Cage - Journey Into Your Imagination
- UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE -
For some reason the rotating Figment leading to Figment's house reminds me a LOT of the old attraction. I am not sure why. The television in Figment's living room plays the "Catch Me!" and "Somersaulting Figment" from the old Image Works and Journey into Imagination.
- BACK TO THE INSTITUTE -
The arrows pointing to Figment's route to the Institute remind me a lot of the old Imagination ride. The music picks up to a flavorful suspensful tone (as the music was leading into the old attraction's grand finale) and the signs are similar to that of the old attractions leading to Dreamfinder and Figment talking about Imagination before the finale (i.e. Dreams ----->)
MAJOR NOD: The footprints (Figment's) - the feet in the beginning of World of Motion
- FINALE -
MAJOR NOD: The moon - Horizons
Also, the rainbow pouring into the Mona Lisa reminds me a lot of the final scenes of Spaceship Earth if you know what I mean.
Feel free to add anything you think reflects into this new attraction. An interesting idea - when Channing remarks how Figment is turning the open house upsidedown, Figment nods and examines his fingernails - this reminds me a LOT of Kuzco from 'The Emporer's New Groove.'
Thoughts?

That was really the main thing that brought a smile to my face. Can't wait to see it in person in one week
