EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

It's coming! Just give them until 2032 at the latest and it should be there!

Just gotta work on some things here and there.

Maybe next D23 will show how they wanna get ready for the 50th of Epcot...

I hope you are right. I have been waiting for almost 20 years now.

I think it's shameful that it was last updated in 2007 and doesn't even have mention of the smartphone at all. That should've been at least a minor update in 2016 or so.

Even more shameful that the 94 version could have run a few more years and not seem horribly outdated until the 2010s.

In many ways SSE94 is not even horrible outdated at all, I would argue it has aged far better tech wise than the 07 one. We've only just now gotten to a point where fiber optic is finally starting to be adopted by consumer telecommunications. Video calls between family and friends from across the globe also took a while to catch on and STILL aren't entirely widespread for general use (people still mostly opt for audio only or chat via text). People being glued to a screen is relevant regardless of what said screen may look like, so they got that part right.

Aside from the outfits the characters are wearing and the designs of the video device props, it holds up quite well. And those outdated elements would have been VERY easy and quick to fix without even needing some huge overhaul as the current one does. Just redress the characters and swap out the more chonky CRT looking devices with flat widescreen displays (tablets basically). Very very minimal and could have lasted for who knows how long.

The only aspect that was dating SSE94 at the end of it's lifespan was the one line about greeting the 21st Century that could have been easily edited.
