Exactly. Inside Out lends itself perfectly to a Cranium Command style attraction. Even though I often complain about IP in the parks, it would make plenty of sense for that.
But not as a Figment replacement.

Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

I had posted a concept idea a long while back of Cranium/inside out and I was happy to find the picture I made was on one of backup hard drives..Just some simple Photoshop and here's what It "could" have looked like..

There's nothing left in WOL to recreate. I've seen the photos of the inside of the building that have been floating around and there's nothing really left.
Magic Eye has an existing structure and is more cost-effecient to build in, along with ease of access.
Like, I get it, we're worried Figment is gonna be outed by the Magic Eye film again, but they're not going to do that.
The worst that'll happen is that he'll sing You've Got a Friend in Me with Dreamfinder. Duh.

Yup, worst scenario is Magic Eye film IP neighboring darkride with Figment cameos… which if they’re really out of touch could happen & would be the most ironic thing this company has done, but they’ve gotta see even a crossover attraction would need Figment front & center with IO characters taking the backseat. I can’t see how that even leads to a cohesive darkride. Maybe a show, but not a ride. Now they could set the entire pavilion within Imaginationland, JII is a storybook within the IO universe, & the attraction is presented in similar vein to Pooh where you travel thru something like a Little Golden Book

An observation I’ve seen is that Inside Out doesn’t push merch as hard as Figment does. Not to say that it doesn’t push merch, because it does. But Figment merch ends up as entire spectacles for park fans. Inside Out 2 merch, even with the movie’s success both financially and quality, isn’t doing crazy numbers in merch. Unlike other recent successes like Mario, Mandalorian, Frozen 2, it is very easy to get your hands on an Anxiety or Joy doll. So merch wise, it’s not pushing like some other similar successes. Disney will take notice of this.

As was said earlier in the thread, a great way to tell how long someone has been in the fandom is how many “Dreamfinder is coming back!” Rumors they’ve lived through, bonus points for the initial Inside Out rumors.
Lived though the 2018 inside out rumors and such. Started following in 2015-16

I remember Jim Hill saying a remake was being tossed around all the way back around like 2006. Imagination 4 is truly the Half Life 3 of theme park rides.
Nope. Nottt getting hopes up. Noooo sirrreee.

What is actually holding them back from just getting the best of the best Imagineers back together and reimagining an Imagination2.0 with the original characters... Yeah yeah, I know money, but for less than the cost of Chapek's golden parachute and Bob's 2023 Executive Bonus, they could have probably done a whole lot to make Imagination start to resemble the bright and vibrant pavilion it once was...

The Figment comics sold well, the golden book sold out (iirc), the bags sell well, the popcorn bucket obviously. This is not a case of merchandise for figment. He would’ve gotten the love he needed if that were the case long ago.

Depends on who you think the best of the best are. A lot of imagineers from the 90s are retired and Some left Imagineering to work elsewhere, especially after the potential Florida move. We're now seeing a new generation of imagineers rising whilst some of the old are still around to advise

seems like (based on the newer projects) the Imagineers are corporate hotel architects that don't quite know how to stage an attraction other than adding a screen. Maybe Tony Baxter could come back for this project and inject some whimsy and beauty back into the pavilion... and hand pick a team that would understand the characters and the space....

Recreate doesn't mean they have to use the old set. They can recreate it. WoL should return, renewed. I understand that imagination is a brain activity and thus associated with Inside Out, but they are both good enough for two rides, at two pavilions.

My first exposure to Inside Out back in 2015 was a preview in the Magic Eye theater. It seems appropriate (for me, given my personal experience) that an Inside Out show wind up in there.
