This is actually a brilliant idea and could be easily tweaked to be centered around Imagination instead of a curse. Only concern would be World of Nature Neighborhood. Nature of Imagination? How does this fit? They should have made left side Future World and right side Discovery Land and taken that Celebration junk and shoved it up their a**
This D23 was pathetic and I am quickly losing faith in this company.

I don’t think bringing the CEO of Target up during the Parks panel fans lined up to attend, just to talk about new easier ways for consumers to buy junky merch did anything but throw salt on this festering wound. Restoring the ride to glory is such an obvious way to foster some goodwill with EPCOT fans. I’ve been to Tokyo and I know what magic imagineers are capable of creating, should they so choose to bestow that level of effort on lowly WDW. 
Figment "fits" into World Celebration or World Nature as well as he "fit" the theme of Future World.

The incredible irony about today's Epcot presentation was this -
The young project lead from WDI up on stage going on about how much EPCOT Center meant so much to him when he was a kid 35+ years ago, and how he is now tasked with bringing that 'wonder, inspiration, and imagination' he experienced back to the Park with this new re-development.
He's going on and on about it, even breaking out the 'embarrassing family photos' and yet........
There is ONE glaringly obvious omission from the topic being covered that unanimously represents that 'wonder, inspiration, and imagination' statement.
ONE key element.
ONE Pavilion that embodied that statement.....and is completely overlooked during the panel.
Yeah, THAT one.
What's it called......?
Oh, right.
'Imagination'

We are gonna get an announcement soon. They just decided to prioritize other things in the panel.

This is kind of how I feel, and again, like I said, Disney can’t just ignore imagination. SOMETHING has to and will be done with it at some point. They can’t just leave it in this depressing state that it’s in now and has been since the late 90s.

If they announce this shortly after the panel they’re brain dead. They had their perfect opportunity and wasted it.

“And what about Science?”
Seriously, no one in imagineering has enough IMAGINATION to come up with a creative, and still cost effective use for Figment and the Imagination pavilion? It’s NOT rocket science (that’s the other side of the park
)
I’m sure half this board could come up with suggestions, tie into this new nature theme and come up with a better ride.
It’s really quite depressing seeing what was such a wonderful attraction continue to languish.

Mark my words.
Epcot Forever will gauge guests interests, especially since we are about a year out from Imagination going down for refurb as per what I saw back in 2017.

It’s been a waiting game for nearly 20 years.
The parks are now lumped in with Consumer Products, so it was the appropriate panel.

Like permanently? Or just fixing stuff up?

I don't know to which extent, but if anything I've heard over the past few years, is correct. It does lead me to believe it will have an impact that will last but for how long is the question.

They just aren’t ready to announce anything yet. The lack of announcement is as telling as if they had announced plans. There’s plenty of time, and there’s still more to come for epcot version whatever this is. The pavilion has not been forgotten.

He even mentioned "a little purple dragon" in his remarks, which I was certain would be firshadowing for an anouncement.

Didn’t they say that World Celebration was all about the core ideals of Epcot etc etc? Imagination is a part of that on the map. I’m feeling optimistic. Figment fits that bill.
