EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[tirian]

Peter Pan in California is also a less efficient ride than Florida.

Now let's come up with some food options for the Imagination quick service:

• Kid's Meal: Two Tiny Wings
• Ice Cream can be a Dream Come True
• Dreampork

I was thinking of a purple smoothie with two yellow gumball eyes floating inside: “Figment’s Purple Nightmare.”

Ignoring that the ride experience for Mission Breakout was changed (I.e. the randomized drop sequences), the idea that a ride’s quality can not be changed if it’s the same basic ride layout/experience is laughable.

Would the Haunted Mansion be just as beloved if it was overlayed with the scenery of Ariel’s Undersea Adventure?

No doubt, but you can look at Indy Vs Dino and see that an identical ride can be vastly different based on theme...

 

[RSoxNo1]

Debatable.

After Dark is fun I’ll give it that.

Nah, it's a better ride and both were eyesores around the park.

The issue is that Mission Breakout effectively ended any real attempts to have a California theme in that park.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Nah. I was talking about the DCA tower.

Breakouts music, screens and fairylights are more suited to a party bus at Fast n Furious at USF.

That's way too harsh. Fast and Furious barely counts as a ride. It's downright awful.

Mission: Breakout is a more frenetic version of Tower of Terror. I suspect your dislike is more tied to not caring for the movie?

The irksome thing is that it is still the shape of the Hollywood Tower Hotel but affixed with a different RealPlayer skin (oh my, that takes me back). It's like a constant projection show. It bothers me almost as much as FTFY, that they couldn't just demolish the thing and start over.

Nah. Its not.

I don’t care for Song of the South but Splash Mountain is a favourite.

Man Disney cannot make up their mind with this ride. The year will be 2040 and the ride will have been unchanged like Woody Woodpecker's kidzone at Universal Studios.

I'm also sure many kids don't even know who Fivel is.....

According to a poster in the other thread, the Muppets are being considered. Opinions on that?

 

[Brer Panther]

Well, Figment IS voiced by Dave Goelz...

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

The better option is getting Figment a show on Disney Jr..Seems to work with this generation of kids..

Apart from all other controversies, “Song” is a melodramatic movie that’s simply hard to watch. The animated segments are well done, and Splash reflects that, but the live-action portions are terrible.

If Splash Mt. can come out of that — and I’m not even addressing the other issues here — a new Figment attraction could be influenced by the really good Marvel comics. But will Disney let that happen? Meh.

Agreed. Rode Dino the other day and it vs indy isn't even a fair fight. 1/3 of Dino you're basically just rolling around in pitch black, with a shoehorned "story" on frontside and backside of the ride. Such a shame. Everytime I ride it, I dislike it more and more.

Yeah, but Indy gets pretty reliant on blacklight paintings of skeletons towards the second half given that they probably blew the budget on the main room. Dinosaur has an edge of animatronics being spread pretty evenly throughout.

True, but that's part of the theming. Three terrible looking dino AA's need an update desperately.

Indy in TDS has fully built-out sets.

I would really like it! Its a lot better than what we have now in my opinion.

Does anyone know what happened to the Dreamfinder's Airship that was in Mouse Gear? I'm hoping they saved it for repurposing or future use as a decoration or part of a refurbished ride.

Allegedly, they have archived it!
