That’s not how the process works.
Walt Disney Imagineering doesn’t get to set their own schedule. Not getting work done is a good way to become a former Imagineer.
I agree 100%! Mystic Manor and the Symbolica attraction at Efteling are in my opinion, the two closest things to the original imagination attraction as of right now, and hopefully we’ll get a revised version of the original, although current management will probably need some convincing unfortunately.
I may have said this previously in this thread, but Symbolic is even more impressive when you learn that it is not a true trackless ride and therefore the ride system is a lot cheaper. It uses a guide wire system not unlike the Tower of Terror, Universe of Energy and The Great Movie Ride.
Last I heard it was pretty much dead. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the reason it became such a huge rumor, was because it was one of the proposals as a replacement, but that was a while ago and proposals are just slight indications and nothing more. They’re almost meaningless.
That may have been the case as well. Also I went back on this thread and found a post where Martin said it was the only IP based proposal in existence that he knew of. Of course, like I’ve stated previously, proposals are almost meaningless, but they can sometimes be good tiny indications of discussions throughout the company, giving us a bit of an idea of where things may go, even if they’re entirely fluid and open to constant change. Now, plans for imagination can always change, as imagination isn’t slated to go down for a while, giving Disney time change plans or find another IP to build a new attraction off of. We will just have to see where things head within the company, especially in these unprecedented times right now with COVID-19. Personally, I can’t see Disney canceling this, since this attraction is a large space that needs life, unlike arguably unnecessary smaller additions around the park such as Poppins or journey of water. Imagination will probably just see a really long delay, since Disney isn’t thinking about one attraction at one of their parks at the moment.
#twobirdsonestone I'm joking but actually could be kinda fun with Mary popping into chalk drawings and finding Figment there. 
I’m sure the project will just be delayed quite a bit, and that budget was more than likely affected by current situation. This isn’t one of their main priorities right now, as they’re going to focus on completing projects that are already underway since they must be finished, but once they’re done, I’m sure Disney will begin looking at plans for imagination. Until then, it’s just a recovery process for them, and hopefully they’ll come up with a budget around that size again sometime in the next 6 to 7 years.
Do we know of all of the proposals to change the ride?
I agree. I know there were plans for Inside Out and Figment and Dreamfinder but what else? Wreck It Ralph? Honey I Shrunk the Kids?
Martin said in an older post that inside out was the only IP based proposal he knew of at the time
Interesting I wonder what the other proposals were.
martin did say there were proposals that included dreamfinder with figment, and others didn’t include dreamfinder, etc... at least we know only one IP proposal was in existence, at least as far as he knew.
