Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

He's been like that for a week now. This was yesterday. The phone is now upside down

It doesn’t hurt to notify cast members about these things, I’ve heard of them fixing things after being notified before such as missing dolls in Small World.

My guess that everything was booked and they had nothing else to do..

Extended queue was out when we went at the end of March, don't remember what time of day it was, but Pooh was also out in the meadow so the 6yo and I went to say Hi/interreact with him (who tried to rile the crowd, including the EQ) while I Mom went about. I think it was one switchback shorter though, and didn't seem to take much time to get to the point that would be the straight walk in to the door. I didn't time it though.

In my experience when the line is that long, it's around a 30 minute wait.

I'm gonna signal boost another neat JII discovery here since this thread has kind of become a general JII thread too.

So as a huge Imagination fan, I periodically search youtube for audio and video of the original attraction. Recently, the former Science/Imageworks Figment animation loop was uploaded. However, I came across something very strange while checking recent uploads today. This appears to be a ride-through of the original ride, However, the thumbnail and first few seconds of the video appear to be a photo of a person (probably the channel owner) and a Figment walkaround which I had never seen before. It does not appear to be the one seen later in the JIIWF era, and it definitely is shot at Communicore. Does anyone remember this walkaround or the potential timeframe it existed for? I had never seen or heard of this iteration of the costume before. While I am discussing Imagination pavilion characters, does anyone have any evidence of the "masked" Dreamfinder that was apparently tested briefly in the first years of the attraction?

Wow this was… a trip…

I remember coming across this video wayyyy back when I was first getting into the disney parks fandom. Needless to say my reaction was just stunned confusion. Still is.
But hey, at least the song is good?

That’s one of the inflatables that was around in the early 90s. Not a walkaround.

Too bad you had to ride the ride to hear it.

Wouldn't wish that fate on anyone.

If they licensed this to Gemmy or something (like the Hitch Hiking Ghosts) I would put this in my yard year round.

Agreed. If they sold any sort of Figment lawn ornament or holiday blowup, just take my money.

Maybe I'm reading way too far into this, but Zach just posted on Instagram, saying that since "work on World Celebration is in full swing", it was time to "pack up the models" and move on to their next big project. Future World West seems to be remaining untouched, from the wording of the post.

That's nice but Imagination is In World Celebration... Not World Nature..

Yes, hence why I'm bringing it up. He's saying they're done with World Celebration's plans. Figment seems to not be a part of any future development.

Isn't it in the nexus of the two, not really in any World?

Imagination and the Odyssey are officially in Celebration, along with Connections, Creations, CommuniCore Hall, and Spaceship Earth.

Did that officially come out? The images always showed the Pavilion being in both colors, and frankly "Imagination" is more Nature than a Celebration.

It's on the line of their crude, Mickey-shaped drawing but I believe it's always been listed as being in World Celebration.

It's also blue and listed under Celebration on the tip boards.
