EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[Horizons '83]

It need maintenance and a light refresh

Track replacement is #1 then a refresh of show scenes IMO.

 

[SailorMercury]

My current theory is that Imagination and SSE are both slated for refreshes but Disney does NOT want those two and Test Track all down at once so it'll be one at a time.

My current projected timeline is....
Test Track taken offline late July.
D23 has more details on Test Track 3 and drops the Imagination 4 shoe.
Imagination closes as Test Track 3 soft opens. Figment M&G persists so he continues to have a presence in the parks as well as something going into the theater (maybe the Seth Rogen Figment film was actually something taking over the Short Film Festival?)
Once Imagination is done, Spaceship Earth closes and reopens.

Maybe something happens with MISSION: Space after? But that's out of the scope of this.

I have long accepted that we won't get Imagination 4 at D23. Happens every few years. Some new Dreamfinder stuff happens (the comic in 2014. Plate in 2016. Golden Book in 2024), we're finally convinced this is the year. Radio silence. I'll believe that Imagination 4 is happening when we get actual tangible evidence that is exists.

For the cost, 9 rides....especially when you are counting Finding Nemo, mission Space, and the the crap-tacular Where is Donald...for your well over $100 entrance fee....doesn't sound great.

Gran Fiesta Tour is peak. Should be blasphemous to speak ill on its name.

Yup. I’m not falling for it yet again.

A great way to gauge how long someone has been in this fandom is to tell them you heard this is gonna be the year they announce JII 4, and observe how they react.

Wow, was the comic all the way back in 2014? I remember the excitement when that came out about a possible remake of the ride. 10 years, sheesh...

 

[Eric Graham]

It would be so wonderful if they reimagined the Figment ride. That would be awesome!

 

[SailorMercury]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a third time, shame on Walt Disney Imagineering, fool me a fourth time, you will fool me a fifth time next D23.

I can dream dammit! I have no other idea where they would drop that news!!! I've been burned thru every D23 since 2014 and I have HOPE something could happen!!! Smh!!!!

I first started posting on theme park forums at DisneyWorldTrivia in 2004, I remember a potential JII refurb being a constant topic of discussion back then. Everyone was convinced it was imminent the next year, or the next, or the next....

20 years later and we're still in the same spot. Zero updates or news whatsoever since then.

This is definitely the year though. Lots of people are just getting that gut feeling, you know? If not this year then next year for sure. Gotta be soon at least.

JII 4 will happen the same time Banjo-Threeie does.

What about beloved, totally liked by everyone third game, Nuts and Bolts?

 

[CJR]

They could always get one of those twirling dragon carnival rides, paint them purple, and park it in front of Imagination for a bit. Most people won't even notice the difference and it might even light up at night, win-win.

Simple solution is to get the movies from the current version in a computer, CGI a hat and blue coat on Nigel Channing, replace all mentions of him with “Dreamfinder”, then announce that he’s coming back. Duh.

As long as Figment gets a new CG render that doesn’t look like a computer game from 2000.

Figment will look like an N64 render.

Specifically launch day Mario 64 style.
