Not sure how this affects the project’s viability or timetable, but Josh Gad just posted a submitted script he just finished with Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit that may or may not be Spaceballs 2. Now, screenwriters can multitask, but it seems that’s been a priority for them lately (possibly to the exclusion of their Figment project).

One thing that I'm not sure if someone pointed out before, but for quite a bit now(since late 2010's), the audio for the finale scene has been "incomplete", in that not all of the Figment voice speakers are working for the song.
From what I observed, each speaker for Figment's lines plays a different take/tone, some are more higher pitched and some are more lower pitched. Videos back around 2002/2003 shown that there was a good mix of them and it was lively, but currently, there seems to be only around 2 or 3 of them working.
One of them is the deep toned/unenthusiastic Figment voice, which is playing towards the start of the scene, and it's what you primarily hear if you are sitting further back. It's quite hilarious to me when there is a hold up like in this video where you hear that deep voice for the extended part of the song. It's also hilarious how the Channing moon projection will pause itself on Eric giving you a straight face after the first iteration of the song loop is over.
For comparison, here is a video from 2003 where the finale had all of its speakers working, it sounds much more lively:

To me, that just sounds more like an alto is in charge of the mix and determined to have her say for once!
But in all seriousness, yeah. Even if some people in maintenance do care about this attraction enough to occasionally fix up a Figment animatronic, there aren't enough of them to keep this shambling mess running much longer.

Wayfair opened their first-ever brick-and-mortar store a few weeks ago here in the Chicago area and I paid them a visit today. I was hoping to see Dreamfinder and his Dream Mobile, but all I could find was this cheap imitation, The Dream Center!

but...we needed to knock down half of communicore to replace it with a smaller building, and then we needed trees more than anything else.....
so....that's what we got instead of attractions....

Great, now I know how they’re gonna bait us into thinking they’re fixing the ride this year
In all seriousness I’m happy to hear Magic Eye might finally get some attention. I just hope it’s at least related to Figment or the original attraction in some way, Inside Out is fine IF and ONLY if if stays in Magic Eye (if that’s what they’re planning on doing)

SSE->Magic Eye->Journey Into Imagination.
Rough plans is to have Magic Eye open as the ride is being redone.
The goal is EPCOT50, and that's fine.
Disney Short Film Festival has next year or the year after left.

Do you know if it’s specifically coming to the Imagination Pavilion or something else? If I had to guess with Disney’s level of thinking, I would imagine they have Inside Out take over Wonders of Life, while Imagination gets the “shorter” end of the stick with a cheaper overhaul.

Honestly, if I had to guess, I think Inside out would specifically take over the WOL Cranium Command theater..... and then Figment would get the "short-end-of-the-stick" refurb.
