Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

There’s Walt Disney Presents if that’s what you’re talking about, but iirc that’s focused more on Walt Disney specifically than Imagineering in general, although obviously there is some overlap

It's been expanded to incorporate the whole company. There's a classic animatronics panel, and at one point, they featured the Horizons butler. They had an extensive display on Galaxy's Edge at one point, IIRC. They also did a whole display case on the Wish.

Point is, they've found ways to incorporate this material here and there (like, say, in the front of the theater area for China in WS) for a while now. The displays already exist.

The main issue is gonna be the turntable and the fact due to the fact the track was covered, it'd need to be replaced.

I think the original track, or parts of it, can come back, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

they wouldnt need the turntable to work if the ride was trackless.

I believe the “figment trackless” ship sailed a long time ago. Also about the track, i don’t hate it as much as some do. Would it be nice? Hell yes! Is it a dealbreaker? No! Maybe more budget can go to the sets and stuff!

There's a reason it's called the "Imagination Pavilion" and not "Figment Pavilion"....

I've always been opposed to Figment in any shape going into Magic Eye for this reason. You didn't see Cranium Command in Body Wars, or Kitchen Kabaret in Listen to the Land, it's nice to a variation of approaches in pavilions, especially one as broad as Imagination, which can, quite literally, mean anything.

honestly I like your pov, hadn’t really thought about it before. If not inside out, maybe a diff ip could go in the theatre if not inside out. Something else original? Wreck it Ralph? Muppet labs? Btw was rumored “muppet labs replaces figment” idea ever real, and did it ever get far? Ik DSNY said on his channel that it was real, well liked, and got very far.

I remember being told that the Muppet Labs pitch was one of the most developed "non-figment" pitches next to Inside Out.

I'd prefer something original go into Magic Eye, unlikely as that is.

I’m conflicted. I want figment to stay, but tbh that muppet labs thing was prob one of, if not the ONLY possible ways we get a new muppets attraction at wdw, plus it would’ve preserved muppetvision 3D for the long haul. A muppet labs dark ride really seems like a fun concept. Shame it and our purple friend couldn’t coexist. Hope a new muppet ride isn’t completely impossible, though I’m sure in reality the prospects are very slim.

Muppet Labs for DHS or Tomorrowland?
Click to expand...
conflicted. DHS Would mean the preservation of muppetvision and a full muppet land, but Tomorrowland could be either laugh floor replacement (interactive show themed to a science demo) , or a retheme of buzz (which is desperately needed. Also maybe pigs in space?). Also LORD does the idea of a modern, and more humorous take on inner space hosted by honeydew and beaker sound fun af. DHS prob needs the rub though for a smaller dark ride. Where would it go tho?

also I would ultimately prefer a new modern muppets dark ride, but that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.

I’m pretty sure this is already a walkthrough attraction at DHS.

Plus they did have the Disney Imagineering labs in Epcot where they had the 25th anniversary exhibit. It was to showcase "Disney vision" which became the VR tech used at Disneyquest...You can see images here..

I had this wild idea this morning that the attraction could be rethemed to Journey Into Imagineering, and it could be used to show how the imagination of the Imagineers melds with the actual engineering work that's done on WDW attractions. Figment (and Dreamfinder) could remain as the titular hosts. It’s internally relevant, can showcase past (and near future) work, and gets to treat Walt Disney as a diety-like figure.

The Imagineering angle has been my thought, too, for awhile. A reincarnation of the original would fit well, as it could showcase some of the team's best effects in an attraction and IP created from the ground up by WDI. The ImageWorks concept lends itself perfectly to attraction or other design. You could showcase upcoming attractions in a display space. The theater could be tied to that. You could even, if necessary, do an Inside Out tie in, navigating the mind of an Imagineer. There are a lot of possibilities there, and with an "IP"/"Sponsor" that should be able to evolve over time quite easily.

I don't think Odyssey is big enough for an Imagineeering pavillion...Unless it is like the EPCOT preview...Just one big room and not much else. It would be nice to actually make Odyssey back into a restaurant...Combine World Showcase restaurants into a Global Menu , high end Nouvelle cuisine... A foodie "Must do" SOmething imaginitive and unique....

if they came up with a new attraction for Inside out and put it into the WOL building, they could also add the Emotional Whirlwind Spinner indoors in the space, and probably something else as well as a quick serve, a stage show, and some exhibits....there is enough space to do all of that indoors.... which would be a wonderful thing especially in these summer months and during our frequent storms year round.... Imagination has an IP that needs to be rebooted and refreshed.... it does not need any other IP intrusion....

This is the logical solution.

Make it happen, people.
