Not enough information. I expect Iger is out by the time Imagination's ticket is called at this point.Bad pitches for the pavilion or not enough information on the matter? Truly mind boggling JII & Wonders are constantly sidelined when they’re the absolute No. 1 priorities. At least in our eyes. Glad things are looking up for the rest, just feels like we’re so close to a huge win & the universe won’t allow it
to any new parks fans who want to become a fan of figment: NO YOU DONT.
SSE needs TLC and a restored descent. It does not need a big budget “reimagining”. I fear they are once again going to mutilate a classic, replacing highly detailed physical sets & beautifully painted backdrops with flat projection mapped “canvases” and OLED screens.
That’s a relief, I’d be more concerned if they were still considering shoving in a blockbuster film IP. I mean, I suppose anything could happen between now and then, but still, rather this than those old rumors circulating again.
SSE as is, is a good ride. Figment isn’t.
I am BEGGING for WoL
I worry that if Figment moves to the Magic Eye the actual ride would be earmarked for IPI am BEGGING for WoL
Another thing that popped into my head that’d be an easy win with fans in the meantime, would be a Dreamfinder & Figment 4D film for Magic Eye. Something they could announce at Destination D alongside an SSE redo, as an obvious tease they’ve got bigger plans for the pavilion.
Maybe so, but if Inside Out were added I’d be more concerned that’d seep into the attraction itself more than anything. Neither are likely scenarios imo, we’ll prob get something completely diff for Magic Eye, unrelated to IO or Figment. It would be interesting if they decided on gutting Magic Eye for queue space for version 4, IF they decide on using a decent chunk of the Imageworks for a preshow
Even then, OLED screens seem like a luxury to have on rides. Many older screens have been replaced by cheaper LED/LCD screens that do not have good black levels to them.
I would argue SSE has the bones of a good ride that is being hampered by an awful script and lack of a satisfying ending.
How is it a more pressing issue? It’s still one of the best rides at the resort.
I also fail to see how this is the case. I understand the supposed structural issues that need to be addressed, but other than those and the descent being updated, nothing needs to be, or SHOULD be, touched in SSE. I could maybe justify a few tweaks in show scenes on the back half of the ride, but that’s it. Also, last I checked, SSE was last touched up in 2007. Figment was butchered all the way back in 2002.
I definitely don’t disagree that it needs attention, and they should’ve been on it ages ago. I just feel as though JII is also desperately in need of attention, like yesterday. Ideally, both would go down at the same time, but current Disney likely wouldn’t do something like that. At this point, it’d be nice if they just gave either one some attention haha.
No risk of that… classic example of “You had to be there.”
I see a lot of little kids with Figment gear. I don’t think they were there.
This. Figment is kind of embarrassing and blah, but Spaceship Earth is the park’s icon and thesis statement. It also needs extensive mechanical work, not just a narrative overhaul. Ideally, both would happen ASAP, but SSE definitely has first dibs in my book.
