EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[MagicEye99]

Now I'm genuinely shocked they didn't drop this at D23 to offset RoA and possibly Muppets.

I’m perplexed. I know pessimistic comments like this catch flack, but, seriously, does this company truly just not care about what its fans want, at all? Or about preserving any sort of legacy?

With no mention of Imagination it will probably be another 4-5 years before they make an announcement about Imagination...and then consider 3-5 years for the build...so earliest would be 2031-2

I think the muppets and roa backlash will
Push imagineering to announce it in 2025 to offset anger

Yeah they can’t afford to screw this one up after ROA and ESPECIALLY after Muppets. Dreamfinder and Figment original attraction, can’t settle for anything else

@DreamfinderGuy brings up a ‘very’ good point here… hmmm:

Not DVC

@marni1971 Nice to have your input on announcements these past few days, despite the poor decision making on Disney’s end. Have you heard much around this being looked at lately?

After seeing the full picture and truth behind the announcements for WDW, they'll probably find a way to screw this up. Like somehow find a way to make the pavilion even worse than it is now. Maybe unnecessarily tear the building down and build another expensive empty festival warehouse themed after a prison cafeteria with broken floor LED's.

To be honest I’ve not been asking about things. More like party to conversations.

At this point, why would you?

Asking about things with the way they've been going would be like asking someone to insult you.

Yeah that’s fair, thank you for the input on other projects, even if it’s what we might not want to hear atm. Gotta hope they wise up and commit to something good soon

They can't have another disaster like the hype for the new EPCOT that was a budget cut failure by the end...Surely they have budgeted these plans before announcing them, and will be pushing them to completion...

Above all, I think that this removal of TSI and ROA should tell us all one thing - absolutely nothing is sacred to current management. If they see an opportunity, they can, and will, remove or replace any attraction. I firmly believe this goes for anything. Quite literally, anything.

Those two didn't have marketable little characters to make merch off of. That's why the Bears lived and those two didn't. The main thing the company wants is marketable little guys

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

How can we verify if this is DVC? Nothing was implied in the presentation, but now I’m curious.

I keep hoping it is...And my prediction will be Correct!

 

[Moth]

Huh. That's a pitch for the pavilion I haven't heard in awhile obviously sparked by recent events. Let's see where this vine from the grapevine takes me.

What pitch? Don’t see anything in this thread atleast. Did you mean to respond to a post of mine or another’s in the Monsters, Inc thread?

The “sparked by recent events” gives me hope. Now gonna ponder on this overnight
