Funny thing about that is it was the plot of the 83 series that was cancelled..All they would do is just Animate it instead...

I think the easiest option is adapting the Figment comic and thus make Dreamfinder part of the MCU.

Wouldn't work like that. Marvel comic adaptation does not equal MCU inclusion. Big Hero 6 is not part of the MCU.

True, but it would be fun to see anyway.
Just imagine a dreamfinder/figment vs Thanos showdown. I'd pay to see that.

You're telling me the Kool-Aid Man can't be part of the MCU? This is an outrage.

What makes the red man red?

Dreamfinder looks more like an "Eli" than a "Blarion".
I get the impression at least new Figment is omnipotent, I un-ironically think he'd win.

This is the only image of "Old Eli" from Dreamfinders would have looked like shown here during the Disney Channel network opening countdown...

This perfectly sums up the last 10 years.

There has to be SOMETHING coming to Imagination in the next 2-3 years. It's too good of a space to EPCOT for it not to get an update like everything else.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! They can't get rid of Figment. I liked Turning Red but not taking away Figment.

Well, considering they're not planning on redoing the pavilion for another good 5 years or so, wouldn't such an IP be deemed "irrelevant" by then? Considering the Inside Out concept died a while back, I don't see why the same wouldn't happen here, especially considering the fact that Turning Red doesn't lend itself to a theme park attraction as well as other properties may. I'm sure Disney could find some convoluted way to justify an attraction being built from such a property, but for now I just don't see it, especially considering how popular Figment is nowadays. To throw his presence away would be an incredibly pointless move. Then again, I wouldn't put it past Disney nowadays.

I know it’s been a while and the timeline ahead is still most likely nonexistent, but I am curious to hear your thoughts on the status of this project @marni1971. I’d assume things are stagnant at the moment with little to no discussions being held, but I am curious to hear your thoughts on some things that have been said in this thread such as the possibility of the complete removal of a Figment/Dreamfinder theme in favor of a completely IP driven direction (i.e., Turning Red or some other Pixar property). Or whether things remain focused towards the continuation of Figment with his own revamped attraction. In any case, I’m sure there isn’t much to give updates on atm, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
I’m afraid currently I have little interest anymore in the future of this park.

Sadly, I know how you feel, Martin.

Understandable, and I really don’t blame you. I’ve felt the same quite recently myself.
