From what I’ve seen down there, I don’t see a reason why everything can’t be removed from the “pit” leaving just the foundations. The original will never work again though !

Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

OK that makes sense. Construction photos show the show building being constructed around/over the turntable so a redo would most likely involve at least taking the roof/image works off.
Or, to put it simply, the turntable is epcot's version of the everest yeti.

“2023”. This was before the “refurb” of the animatronics happened in October.

Would we realistically hear anything about this at D23? I remember last time when they built up imagination all presentation to announce…the meet and greet. Which is cool, but I felt so betrayed. Probably the worst D23 memory for me.
No mate. Nothing like that.

If it was, there'd be a door in the back to remove the turntable during 3rd shift just like the Yeti.

Oh, thank goodness. Happy to be wrong.

They're doing more episodes of the show, plus the movies are fairly popular. P&F is hardcore Gen Z nostalgia, so I feel like it could work somewhere and be popular with a large audience.
Honestly? Put them in Magic Eye. That's probably the IP I would most want to see put in there.

I actually think Muppet Labs, Inside Out or Phineas could fit quite well in here. Obviously not removing Figment or Dreamfinder. I prefer the rumor of just figment and Dreamfinder but I think the IP’s I just listed would actually fit well here.

I think it would be a win/win to give Figment & Dreamfinder the attraction space while creating an experience for another IP in the Magic Eye. My vote is a live show featuring Beaker & Dr. Honeydew, but anything would be better than shorts I can watch at home.

Yeah like I said I prefer figment and dream finder over any option but all those IP’s work under “imagination”. They can never evict Figment from EPCOT though that would be a disaster he’s also way too popular for that to make sense.
Magic Eye isn’t a bad idea.

Yeah, by the time I started talking to sources that concept art was flying around. It's real but yall probably knew that.

Its just crazy to me, that Disney doesn't let Tony Baxter fix Imagination. He'd do it in a heartbeat, the man has a knack for building amazing attractions, his record speaks for itself.

After the Tiana experience, I don't know that he'd come back.

They massacred his baby, lol I'd be pis*ed too. But I think if they gave him a budget he could work with, he'd want Figment to be presented and introduced in a good attraction, to a new generation who doesn't remember or know about the original ride.

The thing about this concept art that amazes me is that they were intending on having a a face character of the female computer engineer from SSE..
I'm really curious what they were going to have her do for the section..

Wasn't this basically just "Let's put the headquarters for the Perry game in the old Camera shop"? And then people thought it was something more substantial?

I thought it was like, the old Figzilla meeting place? Granted I forget where that was but I swear it was nearby.

Yeah, that's what the Figzilla space originally was, a camera shop.
