EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[SailorMercury]

Can’t help but wonder if the existence of Inside Out 2 could help make some imagination makeover finally happen. They like to give rides to successful franchises so Inside Out sticking around as IP is definitely promising for having a future in the parks

Pete Doctor shot it down so I doubt it’ll ever happen

Wouldn't Inside Out be better in Play!?

Wouldn't Inside Out be better in Play!?

We can only hope so

It's in the original Play! Concept art - at least Joy was.

 

[Homemade Imagineering]

I’m placing my bets on an annoucement 2 D23 Expos from now

I get Inside Out takes place within the mind, but I always felt it dealt more with the interplay of emotions than how the imagination lends itself to the creative process. I get the two are linked and to some degree intertwined, but I don’t think that’s how the original Imagination pavilion was envisioned.

Of course, most of Imagineering’s latest creations appear to be emotional overreactions to controversies real and fictional, so maybe it fits now

I never understood the fan-made idea to conjoin Figment/Inside Out into one attraction. I don't see them doing that whatsoever. That being said, I could absolutely see the Emotions taking over the Magic Eye Theatre.

Upper management knows Figment is a cash-cow. This new Epcot overhaul has put quite a focus on him. I would be floored if he is given the boot. Imho, it's only a matter of time till he gets the overhaul.

Edit: Zach Riddley's entire outfit today is Figment themed......

Meet and greet, but no ride refurb.

DAMN

 

[999th Happy Haunt]

I hate them so much

Protip: I am so mad.

If you missed the date for the Figment M&G - "by the end of 2023".

 

[Haymarket2008]

That was.........horrible lol.

 

[DCLcruiser]

I have never been so excited and upset within the same second lol.

We should take bets:
- Figzilla
- AA Figment (like BB-8)
- Figment puppet controlled by someone

 

[tparris]

There’s no way they didn’t know what they were doing there. I’m honestly convinced they’re actually just trying to be mean now

 

[Rodj]

I feel like many people missed this line: "I am going to have a lot more to share in the future but our teams right now are hard at work bringing Figment to life..."
To me, it seemed like he is saying that they are still hard at work on the new version of the ride.

You truly echoed exactly how I felt. The positive in me wants to remain optimistic, and hopefully they’ll announce an imagination redo with both dreamfinder and figment.

 

[Kevin-brownie]

I think it’s crazy that Imagination hasn’t gotten a proper redo. I think it’s laughable at this point Disney has to be in on some messed up joke

 

[trainplane3]

I have never been so excited and upset within the same second lol.

I think I got whiplash from this.

 

[splashtest]

I got the same impression.

The ride will shutdown and the meet and greet will take its place to appease fans until the ride is complete.
