EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

Like I said, "excuse". WoL would add capacity to the park, it's just if Disney wants to commit to adding that capacity there
If Disney is going to spend the $$$ on WoL, then it should be for a huge IP and or ride. If they can do a real solid dark ride for Inside out fine. I don't want a reprise of cranium command that is inside outed. I want real add.

That being said, a show in the theater in Imagination could be a great fill for lower $$$

Imagination has an IP that needs to be rebooted and refreshed.... it does not need any other IP intrusion....
I'm not really sure it qualifies as additional intrusion when the content of Magic Eye has always been pretty separate from Figment and has furthermore had pretty much zero to do with him at all since, like, 1986.

Inside Out can't work as a 'ride', especially with the layout of JIIWF, a theater show is the best way to do it, and God knows we need more of those.
Yup, & it seems like people are interpreting Inside Out as consuming the entire pavilion. Almost every theater show in Magic Eye was completely unrelated to JII (until of course the HISTA crap took over the whole thing) but I digress. EO was probably the most disconnected out of all of em, & so an Inside Out show with themes of Imagination could give the pavilion some nice variety once again. My only concern is whether they’ll see the potential of a theater show & decide to repeat their mistakes from 99’, making the entire pavilion Inside Out with an attraction touring the different Islands from Riley’s consciousness or something of that nature. I don’t think Figment will leave, but relegating him to another cameo role would be quite ironic & incredibly telling of their cluelessness on what makes these parks succeed.

That and lack of creative drive anymore, its not there. looking at you empty stitch in tomorrowland. They dont know what to do which is the problem when you have no one with a creative vision leading and too many cooks trying to learn how to boil water.

If anything new for Epcot is announced this year, it's Inside Out finding a home in it.
Lets hope not. Keep Figment in his home and use the Play (aka Wonders of Life) pavilion for Inside Out.

ADD, DO NOT REPLACE!

Having said that, ANYTHING they put in the Play (aka Wonders of Life) pavilion is a REPLACMENT and not really a ADD since the WOL pavilion initially existed and had multiple attractions in it, but beggars cant be choosers.

In the magic eye right? I hope not the ride, but if it’s a good team and budget, I’m willing to begrudgingly let them cook. I just want this ride to be good again.

I really don't think Magic Eye is a bad fit. We survived and have nostalgia for a crotch thrusting pop music space boy in Magic Eye, shrunken audiences and now we have a glorified YouTube video in there.

Magic Eye is a fine fit.

Yeah it’s funny that Miachel Jackson in space is fine, but inside out is where we draw the line. I can’t wait for everyone to overreact if it’s announced. Will be fun to watch.

Oh for the Magic Eye theater, Inside Out would be great as long as they create something NEW.

Yes, what we have now is glorified YouTube and/or D+

Please don't disparage the King of Pop. RIP MJ

I love MJ, I jab at EO in good faith. I hope it comes back one last time :')

Inside Out would be a completely new film.


But I get the concerns Inside Out in Magic Eye could lead to the complete annihilation of Figment, those are valid and after the last 20+ years I get why people are worried anything is being touched.

I’d be down at least somewhere. I still think during the 50th Captian EO and Country Bear Vacation Hoedown should’ve gotten farewell runs. Heck, I still think it should happen at one point! Retro night at Epcot with captain eo, over California, Mayybee original mission space but that’s a stretch,Epcot forever and meet dreamfinder and figment?

Magic Eye is a fine fit.

And we have another ragtag band of intergalactic heroes who love pop music on the other side of Future World to fill the void ;)

But really, fast tracking something for the Magic Eye to keep capacity afloat while a major Figment overhaul gets underway would be great planning.

I can’t imagine the film festival is filling up more than 20% of the theatre’s capacity. Inside Out will attract a much larger audience. It will also satisfy the audience’s expectations of an Inside Out attraction. It’s a win win.

Might also encourage an update of the Imagination courtyard, signage, meet-and-greet space, and theater vestibule even in the absence of an immediate Figment redo, which would be a win.

I 100% agree with that. I do hope it would keep an Epcot-type theme. (Like the Imagination Pavilion or Creativity Pavilion or something like that vs. an Inside Out Pavilion that features Figment.) But, having the pavilion start to expand, be updated, connect better to World Celebration (and ideally more visually separate from World Nature) could all be great wins here. The courtyard itself could be much better used - especially if it is right outside a popular IP's film.

If they did this - and then a proper redo (restoration) of JII, I actually think it would be an example of how you can properly update EPCOT with IP and still hold very true to the park and its ideas.
