In my eyes, the issues is that they can add an Inside Out attraction to another pavilion. The Wonders of Life pavilion is barely being used. I don't care if Imagination is the worst ride ever. I would not close another attraction in Epcot. Open Inside Out in Wonders of Life and then rework this attraction.

EPCOT has so much un-tapped potential. Disney could have work done on the WoL and EoE pavilions at the same time without the visiting guests even being bothered to much. Throw in the pavilion where the Frozen movie is being shown ( formerly Captain EO) and you have a pretty good update. Mission Space and Spaceship Earth are already getting their updates. Members have said the spine will get a different look.
Also, Figment just needs a proper update to do the ride justice.

I meant movie IP but figment might be in it as a co-host with a pink elephant figment instead of channing

Seems to me that if they gave overwhelmingly positive responses, it would also spur them to improve the ride.
'channing'? Carol Channing? This must be some secret insider's code.

I love Figment, and I'd do anything to get more stuff with him on it. I never even got to see him and Dream Finder at the parks, but I love the character. The Disney Kingdom's Figment comic book series is adorable and really inventive. There is certainly a place for him, and I think an animated series would benefit him greatly.

This should have been done SO long ago.
This is a 1-2 year project, and BOOM something new.

The scary thing is that it should have been blatantly obvious to Disney. Inside Out is the IP driven Wonders of Life pavilion. I have a hard time believing no one in management or Imagineering brought that up.

The biggest difference for me is that Dreamfinder wasn't there to add a "dash of Childish Delight", now Figment is an annoying know it all. They were able to match his energy in Version 3.0, but not the childlike wonderment.
This goes back to the Tony Baxter mantra of Epcot taking reality and making it feel like fantasy. We were Figment going through that park, we were amazed by the different takes on the world, we had the childlike wonderment.
Now, we're guests in a disjointed theme park.

AGREED. Or at least install something akin to this at the Magic Eye theatre, and there ya go. Leaving the darkride to Figment. In fact, wasn't this a plan at one point? @marni1971

They already killed off EPCOT Center, the current version of Figment is no more a part of Epcot as Ellen.

Yet she's in two attractions on either ends of Future World....

That's more on the team deciding the current ride's story should be a Looney Tunes follow-up to what it replaced with no regard to newcomers.
People on Disney Twitter throw the words "Imagineering fanfiction" around as a pejorative to how they keep expanding SEA into a shared universe, but it's just incorrect and unfair to say that crossovers, even on a minor "Look into the details" level, are immediately fanfictiony.
What is fanfictiony is when you develop an entire story around an in-joke or an expectation that you know about the history of Disney parks. Like a Tiki Room show that's all about whether the classic Tiki Room is still relevant or a Figment ride that's about punishing Eric Idle for replacing Dreamfinder and not being "Figment's Real Daddy".

Considering how the way Figment is introduced as "One of Their Discoveries"....Honestly have you noticed the disgust on Nigel's face when Figment Pops up and how he acts to him...It's awful and hurtful to a memorable character..

Apparently I'm in the minority on this site, but I would have no issue with Figment/Imagination leaving in favor of a new attraction. And yes, I did the original ride as a kid. I'm not crazy about the current trend of all the rides being branded, but something Inside Out related could be really interesting and good.

@Bacon can you send more screen shots of the survey, I see the ones you attached are at 97% completion. I find it odd that the first question has basically 3 negative (at varying levels) choices and 1 positive response choice. And 1-10 is also an interesting range to rate the character (too wide of a range). I do quite a bit of market research and find this odd. As someone else stated earlier in the thread, these are specifically about Figment - so it could be as simple as the survey is meant to gain learnings to gauge how their Figment marketing efforts are going (basically as the F&W mascot), with the information they can say we need to do more or less with him. Not a reflection of the ride - I don't believe these two questions alone will cause the removal of Figment from the ride....someone posted a picture of the line out the door for the Figment ride during spring break.

Well, gee, WDW. You gut the original attraction, replace a friendly awestruck with wonder Figment with a menace, create a ride in its third version that no one wants to ride, then conduct a survey asking if people have ever heard or liked Figment. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy.

It actually isn't her voice in the Seas. I guess they got someone else to do it for cheaper.
