EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

Only as long as encasing it would mean the space would be used to its full potential. They could rebuild an even larger Imageworks within the second floor with some more complex show lighting effects & illusions. Even expanding the ride track into the second floor would be bonkers & would allow them to include the rollercoaster drop element that was initially planned for 1.0. Don’t think that’s really possible though, nor would they ever commit to something that ambitious.
On the contrary, I think I’d much rather they remained transparent, only because I feel that some lighting & fog effects within the space could emulate clouds really nicely. Think of how the pavilion was illustrated in the Epcot overhaul concept art.
What they should really do is repaint the pavilion back to its original color scheme. That’d be a nice improvement that wouldn’t really cost anything, & if they are committed to this in the long term it’d be a nice hint of what’s to come

I mean, technically they could do that without the second floor. The roller coaster drops were still built, you just go down them slowly now. I have to imagine they could find a way to make them work with modern technology.

For sure, I’d absolutely take advantage of the sloped track segments, in an ideal world 1.0 is rebuilt from the ground up with plussed AAs, & today’s technology would allow them to pull out all the stops with anything they decided to abandon for the 83’ version. So much potential there. If they really wanted to lean into the coaster aspect I suppose they could extend the track upstairs, especially to compensate for a loss of track elsewhere if they decide on keeping the modified layout from 99’. Extending a show scene into the 2nd floor intertwining with a new Imageworks could be very atmospheric, ala Grand Fiesta Tour or DL’s POTC & their respective restaurants
And I wonder if ride system stays the same. It probably will, but I’m curious is the “gut and rebuild approach happens.” With all the contradicting possibilities for story, characters, and ride system, this project is the definition of “between a rock and a hard place”. We have hope but we also don’t?

Does Inside Out 2 even have anything to do with the imagination?
Stuff in the mind/ the brain = imagination I guess. I really think, with how much money the movie made in theatres, inside out is gonna be pushed to the forefront of being put in parks. DISCLAIMER: I am not an insider

Please folks, can we not yet again have this thread devolve into yet another discussion about the silly
“Hey, let’s stick the Inside Out IP into the Imagination Pavilion cuz it kinda fits the theme” nonsense.
NO.
The Imagination Pavilion DOES NOT NEED ‘Inside Out’.
Hades NO.
It already has its own established, self created IP that fits perfectly and needs to be implemented in a grand way yet again.
The Pavillion does NOT need Pixar crap tossed in there.
Absolutely NOT needed, and NOT wanted.
For all the Gods, we do NOT need more Pixar overlays shoved into Epcot, and for certain we do NOT need it in the Imagination Pavillion.
Remember kids…
Just say NO
Thank you.

Do I think it needs it: no.
Do I think it’ll happen in some form: yes
Listen I want an all original figment update, magic eye and all, but I unfortunately don’t think that’s possible in today’s parks with ip and stuff. And I don’t think it’ll replace the actual ride, more so go in magic eye (should’ve clarified)
And ATP if putting inside out in the magic eye means the actual ride itself gets a good budget, so we get figment and dreamfinder 2: this time with no turntable, I’m fine with it.

They'll have Anxiety, Fear and Anger take her place as a representation of the emotional state of the average Epcot fan.

Easy. They're gonna announce Dreamfinder or something else like... The Horizons Robot Butler sure.
That'll hold us over until we all realize we went another con with no actual news.
