EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

Yeah, it even looked pretty rough in March. It seems weird to complain about this, but the smell wasn't working either. I had a similar vibe with Spaceship Earth, but Imagination was in worse shape.

I will not ride spaceship earth again until it gets a serious refurb. In August I spent a miserable part of a day on the ride with the ac barely working and the ride stopping 4 times for 5-15 minutes each time.
I was a SSE fan but I felt like I was imprisoned in a hot dark box.sitting In a hard plastic seat tilted back 30 degrees in the dark while it is 80 percent humidity and almost 90 deg for 15 minutes at the end when the ride had broken down was the last straw. It should not even be operating at this point.

At least the ride vehicle moves in figment...and the ac ...

Yeah, we had the same issue with the A/C in March, and it was just in the 80s on that day. It still felt pretty stifling in there.

No... D23 has always been the event to please fans.

Earnings calls have always been the event to please investors.

I'd like to see the massive swings in stock price following D23 versus your average earnings call.

I’m of the mind everything they do now is to please investors

The current ride feels like it's trying to reanimate a dead corpse

I guess I'm too old. Tried to search for "Dead Heat Cow Meme" but Joe Piscopo and Treat Williams are less memorable than Bing Bong

There has been talk of a film happening for several years now.
The success of the 'Figment' Marvel Comics series that was released some years ago put gears in motion, but it was just talk behind the scenes.

Tony has talked about hoping this would happen several times publically in the past.

Very happy and excited about this, Seth Rogen has a great track record of producing high quality content from established IP that stays true to the source material.

High hopes for the attraction refresh down the line!

Disney should have a biannual “expo” of some sort where they announce things like this in front of their dedicated fan base. I’m sure it would be very cool and get lots of media attention too!

Let's hope the film does well.

Yeah, It's called Destination D it's every other year when the expo doesn't happen..

Also, with this out of nowhere announcement I have brought up a prediction on what will go down when we start seeing the pavilion get mysteriously changed..

News - Figment meet and greet returning to EPCOT at Walt Disney World in a 'whole new way'

Only way we would know that something was to slowly start happening is the mysterious reason they decide to close and move the DVC member lounge for unknown reasons, end and close the Disney+ film festival in magic Eye theater, and Mickey moves back to Communicore hall...While the other M&G's...

Deal clearly wasn’t done in time. Not everything is on D23s schedule

Is Seth Rogan playing Dreamfinder?

Is Seth Rogan playing Dreamfinder?

No mention of him actually staring in the movie, I know he can be polarizing, but from a producing standpoint he really gets behind IP he is a fan which I would guess he is. I’m optimistic he’ll do right by Figment
