Because people love the original so much, every mention of it is automatically a smash hit. Disney knows this and is comfortable sitting back and dripping out some cheap merch knowing that they can full well enjoy the financial boom of the original attraction without actually having to pay to bring it back
Not to nitpick, but shouldn’t the Magic Eye canopies be orange? Not that I’m complaining…
He looks like he's starring in The Young Dreamfinder Adventures.
I personally think it’d make more sense to have Dreamfinder & Figment have an additional 3D/4D show in the Magic Eye Theatre. Especially considering how @Figments Friend had mentioned that an additional 3D/4D film starring the 2 characters was indeed planned, possibly even made, but just never got played or added in. Either I say that film be shown in the theater or a new one that tastefully continues the feel/theme/spirit in both the ride & imageworks. Inside Out would fit better in an updated Wonders of Life pavilion. As Inside Out was more about dealing with emotions than anything to do with the creative process in & itself. Seeing as the Play Pavilion pavilion plans seemed to have been scrapped, I feel like that’d be one of the best things to add to said pavilion. On that note though, I also think the return of Cranium Command would be a nice thing to have considering the popularity of Buzzy & General Knowledge in recent years.
I think it's coming (major Imagination refurb), but it's just not a priority. I think Josh is smart enough not to give us blue sky Figment pitches that might not go anywhere.
Not to mention Test Track 3.0. - I guess New EPCOT was a complete failure, if 4/9 of FW are going to or should go down within the next five years
The thing with rehabbing individual pavilions is that it doesn't require closing any pathways. WoL is still entirely behind walls, SSE and Imagination would just need their entrances blocked off.
See I would have thought the DVC lounge would have to close if any clues started to happen for closures of the pavilion and they would move it somewhere else..Then the M&GS and then the whole closing of the pavilion to be reimagined.
I think that maybe more of the problem is the loss of capacity, as even though Imagination wouldn’t be missed, SSE and TT are huge for throughput and crowds, respectively. With both of those down, is genie+ sustainable? But I digress.
The plan was always to take SSE down after Ratatouille opened, and since then Guardians has opened as well. The park is fine capacity-wise, it could handle TT and SSE down at the same time now (not that it will)
A figment film in production?
Keep in mind that “development” and “production” are two different things. This was announced as in development over a year ago and nothing has been heard since. Not to be a downer but want to temper expectations here.
