Oh they will still love Figment, they will just be too old to go to the parks....
I don’t know that there’s a point when people are too old to go to the parks. I’ve seen so many grandparents riding around those parks on ECVS. People up into their 90s go to those parks. Even if they can’t ride Guardians anymore, I’m sure they’d make a visit to see a new Figment attraction. Heck, they already do for significantly less (say, a popcorn bucket for instance).

Y'all are in need of a serious reality check if you think Bob Iger, leader of one of the world's biggest media empires, is at all thinking about how a change to a niche theme park attraction could impact his legacy. What good would it do? A few thousand nerds would hate him a little less? His legacy in the parks is cemented in the IPs he oversaw being developed or acquired. He doesn't care about Figment I promise lol
The Figment comic doing well was the one time Bob Iger has ever acknowledged a specific comic book released by Marvel. Of course it didn't inspire him to actually do anything meaningful with Figment after that since he sees JIIWF as "Mission Accomplished", but it's interesting that he cared more about that tie-in then anything going on in the hot mess that is the publishing side of one of his big purchases.
