That's why it died a quick and painless death. Would've liked cut down on the ride itself to where it fit. Circle shape. Square peg. Etc

I really don’t understand why Inside Out would be considered for anything other than WoL. It’s been sitting empty for years and the franchise fits the space like a glove. Putting Inside out into magic eye when WoL is just sitting there makes little sense.
You can re-open a full pavilion with an Inside out version of Cranium Command, plus throw in the emotional whirlwind clone from DCA and a quick service. Very little investment (it’s not like theyre building an e-ticket here) that yields increased indoor capacity. It’s a big missed opportunity if they don’t cash in on Inside out in WoL.

The only flaw is that Cranium had pretty low capacity. It was a 215 seat theatre, Magic Eye is over double at 588. Inside Out is an IP that would draw crowds, and unless you want hour long waits for a theatre show would probably be best to put in Magic Eye. Also helps that Magic Eye is approachable in the park, and not the dumpster fire that WoL is currently. It would take a lot more work to get the dome interior presentable.

Funny to see this finally brought up, this is a popular comparison I see often off-site alongside a number of other "never happening" characters or series.
They both are particularly infamous even outside Disney or gaming circles in that they are known for announcing a ton of new merch, various media cameo appearances, frequent announcements, etc but never the one thing people exactly want (a ride revamp or a new mainline game). Some argue they are intentionally marketed this way too to give them an underdog angle with that carrot always in far reach.

To be totally fair, Banjo did finally make it into smash that‘s a pretty massive acknowledgment from Microsoft. I agree though, he hasn’t gotten a mainline game in quite a while.
Figment has his own comic book series, and has appeared in Disney Speedstorm.

When you think about it, Speedstorm is like Smash for Disney in terms of being a giant crossover so that makes the Figment-Banjo comparison stronger and funnier.
Regards to Inside Out 2 and Parks: I think Destination D23 is more likely for an announcement. They didn't announcement the Disneyland Avatar stuff immediately after Way of Water set the world on fire. The art dropped like, earlier this year. I think Destination D23 is where we are gonna see where Inside Out goes in Florida.
Like I said before, I kinda exhausted everything I knew about so if anything interesting pops up on my radar and gets collaborated on, I'll let yall know. I guess.

At this rate Kingdom Hearts 4 is on the table before Journey.Are you telling me we’re actually getting GTA6 BEFORE Journey Into Imagination?
Not saying they will but it would be such an easy slam dunk to win at D23 with a Figment announcement. Probably not gonna happen though with all these other (exciting) projects.

Any rumor as to what types of effects the might incorporate into the theater for that 4D type experience?

Congrats! Figment is now in KH4.
[Monkey paw curls depending who you are]
If Hollow Knight: Silksong drops before Imagination, we're in big trouble.
I 'unno.

All this gaming talk is going over my pointed head.
Let’s talk more about purple dragons, weak concept Attractions that have lasted far longer then needed, and a Company that just doesn’t seem to understand that the Imagination Pavillion needs a real upgrade.
No stupid unrelated IPs.
No ‘Inside Out’ nonsense…( put that elsewhere…)
No cheap overlays, no half measures.
Do it the RIGHT way.
No excuses, Disney.
Long, long overdue.

I honestly don’t think we’re gonna get bluesky for this or most other projects relegated to singular attractions. The reason it worked for Dinoland & BBTM, was because of the fact the plans involved transforming a huge chunk of real estate into brand new lands & attractions all needing to be somewhat cohesive.
This right here is an obvious fix, to rebuild something in the same vein & scale as 1.0, preferably with The Dreamfinder. We’ve made it loud & clear these past 2 decades, so if they interpret that as needing to give us one giant potential false promise, that might not go over too well. Personally I’d rather wait it out simply because I don’t want this to be a very casual, “oh yeah we’re working on it”, but rather a “we are committing to this” type of scenario.
The same goes for SSE, although not because of the fact we’re anticipating as much but simply because bluesky plans for what would mainly be some set redressing looks VERY lazy on their end. Not a good look either way, especially with Epic headlining 2025. I’m not expecting anything in August for this park except TT details, so hopefully Disney waits this one out instead of spitballing ideas about a couple of the most anticipated projects

The original ride introduced us to Dreamfinder and figment in the first scene, then took us into the Dream Port...then ended withg some cute interactive exhibits... And a 3-D Movie. IMO they should remake the entire pavilion to be the Dream Port...a crazy whimsical Steam Punk repository of dreams and imagination... An introduction ride like the original, then wander around some of the rooms of the Dreamport with a VERY expanded interactive walk-through leading to the theater where the story would continue... Focused on one Narrative....We get our characters back in an expanded world... It never made sense to me that the 3-D movie was not directly linked to Dreamfinder from the beginning....Re-do the outer plaza fountains to match the new aesthetic for the pavilion...that sort of post Victorian Steampunk Modernism...bordering on Art Deco.

but no reason the pyramids could not still be glass... Imagine seeing the gilded machinery, turning gears and steampipes all up inside that space as opposed to nothing... It could look like it was designed to fit the Steampunk machinery of the Dreamport...Or the tallest pyramid could be like a hangar full of fantastical flying machines like the Dreamcatcher from the first iteration of the ride...
