EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[DreamfinderGuy]

@marni1971 Are the sets/figures from the sealed off portions of the ride still in there intact?

You must be thinking of Spaceship Earth. Nothing from any of the original Imagination sets still exists there in it's original form. Some Dreamport artifacts are in the queue, that's it. No part of the original ride was ever "sealed off", either gutted for a new show scene or destroyed for more queue/downstairs Image Works space.

Most of the Figment animatronics from the original attraction were auctioned off or put in the archives, right?

Yep. Almost all of them survived in some way or another.

Does anyone have any knowledge of what happened to the Dreamfinder animatronics? I would hope at least a few made it into the archives as well.

All I know is the dreamfinder face mold was used for the Mayor in DLP's Phantom Manor. I don't know about the actual animatronics.

It is the Mayor at the entrance to the Frontierland scene.

I'm going to assume it's this chap?

I think they should make Figment a badass action hero like Rambo. And they got to make sure there are plenty of explosions and montages of him training.

That's creepy.

FYI it was upside down but only a few people noticed it.

Well the universal sign of "in distress" is flying a flag upside down... Maybe it was a call for help!

Figment would likely approve.

SO, the Destination D event is coming up in November at WDW & D23 2022 next summer. In regards to Epcot, the only true heavy duty announcements left to make are whats going on with Imagination (and maybe The Seas). I'm puzzled as to why this project has remained so low key with barely any rumblings.

Any movement detected from our trusty insiders??

Because this project barely exists at the moment

 

[cookiee_munster]

It's been reported on another site that the flags just outside the park entrance are missing the imagination logo ones.

any guesses why?

 

[DoleWhipDrea]

I saw someone on Twitter say that the flag was damaged. Granted it was also upside down. In any case, there’s no cause for concern.

BTW, found a new use for masks... to protect from Figment Farts!
(shrug.. I had to tell the kids, that "I remember when Figment didn't far in your face)

Right now the project is basically a bunch of “this is something we could do when we eventually get around to it” lmao
