Episode III: Return of the Imageworks?

[Mr.EPCOT]

Oh, I guess I was wrong about those couple of things.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Someone posted something waaaay to soon.

Okay, here we are. After a few years of on and off research I`ve recently been able to nail down the original layouts of the upstairs Imageworks:

Lovely work, Martin!

Hope there is a 20-?? something too.

 

[mcjaco]

Thanks for the correction, oh infallible one.

You're welcome.

Once again, Martin, you've helped me more than you can imagine. :lookaroun:lol: This is a great help with my RCT3 recreation!

Still, no oversized digital camera in the upstairs imageworks. So, whatever Disney has allowed on their site, error or not, is a mix of what was and is. So, unless this is a taken from the "running history" of imageworks, it can't be as simple as a cut and paste error.

Who knows where they are getting their information from. However, like someone said, these people are there to program and code. They aren't checking the facts when they have a ton of other things to do. My assumption is like a lot of people in backstage roles at Disney, they aren't particularly savvy when it comes to their in park knowledge.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

So do I.
And I never rode them :lookaroun

I have to say it the history of that attraction is interesting. I do admit that I would have liked to ride that, but again, WDI did fail with that one.

 

[Rob562]

I would like to get into this thread, but I'm stuck on the title. It should either be "Episode VI: Return of the Imageworks?" or "Episode III: Revenge of the Imageworks?". :lol: I'm not sure that Imageworks would seek revenge, though.....or would it?

Actually, I think I prefer "Imagination, Episode IV: A New Hope" :lol:

Well, all things considered, that would be the most appropriate. :lol:

Someone should burst into a WDI meeting and say, "I just want you to know... good luck. We're all counting on you."

What WDI is going to do to us with ImageWorks:

Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

Then they'll quickly replace the link and not say a word because ZEY SAW NOSSING! :zipit:

 

[TubaGeek]

God forbid they actually make the Imagination Pavilion BETTER for a change.

Awesome! I never got to see some of the 82' era Imageworks, feel free to hijack thread with pictures, video, and information.
:sohappy:

 

[Disneys America]

The page even links you to Pal Mickey.:lol:

And I miss Rocket Rods, too. It was fun but it would have been a classic if it had had the proper money spent on it in the first place.

Yes, I'd love to see some pictures of that stuff, too. I'd visited it plenty back then, but I totally don't remember most of that different stuff. The digital wall and extra Sensor area (Vibrating Mirrors) intrigue me.

...WDI did fail with that one.

No, they didn't.
TDA failed. Properly funded, the ride would have been amazing.

Do you think they have learned? DCA seems to indicate they have but that project has a long way to go yet.

 

[Lee]

Do you think they have learned?

Yeah, I think they have.
Lesson: Doing it right the first time is cheaper than having to do it twice.

Digital Camera is from the downstairs postshow tahts still around I think

The webpage is probably from some old document laying around

Another thing I dont remember the iamgeworks being called "Imageworks: The Kodak What if Pavillion" where did that name come from???

 

[radiosanchez]

Seriously though, we have heard of a planned rehab of the pavillion (ie bringing back Dreamfinder). Setting this particular issue aside and writing it off as 'just a mistake', what is known about the plans beyond the revised ride?? Was there any buzz of reopening the second floor already 'floating around' before this came up?

 

[Thrill Seeker]

Yeah, I think they have.

Exactly

Off the top of my head, the last plan I heard of (like, a year ago) did indeed use the second floor.
But, if I recall correctly, it wasn't used as Imageworks.:lookaroun
