No. It just might be a Figment solo act. Might not.Oh god not again. Does this mean inside out is a real possibility again?

The Space restaurant?
Was gonna be Horizons: Bar and Grill. Hilarious idea. I got shown some art over a call with someone and we laughed for a solid five minutes. If it was revealed the forums would be split on its the death of Epcot or the best call back ever.
Comparing the original ride vs current ride - how much more of a budget cut could they do?and I also hope this isn’t like a super budget cut version like discussed before. I wouldn’t be against a dreamfinder-less figment, as long as it is GOOD
Same ride with dreamfinder slapped over.Comparing the original ride vs current ride - how much more of a budget cut could they do?
Nah, that was the gist I saw.I’ve got to ask: was it actually going to be called Horizons: Bar and Grill? I don’t know if this is better or worse than the rumored projection Kitchen Kabaret/Awesome Planet.
Ah, thanks for the clarification on KK.Nah, that was the gist I saw.
Also the Kitchen Kabaret thing was a CGI version of the original show, just in the space occupied by Awesome Planet currently.
Figment is gonna get sold to the circusNo. It just might be a Figment solo act. Might not.
Kinda wish they had done that anyway and just slapped it on Disney+.Also the Kitchen Kabaret thing was a CGI version of the original show, just in the space occupied by Awesome Planet currently.
I don't want to contradict @Moth's reporting here, but my folks are far less confident in anything substantial. There seem to have been several proposals, from a full rework to a narrative redressing. Nothing funded to my knowledge.Paging @PREMiERdrum

Unfortunately, the c-suite does in fact view EPCOT as "done" for this cycle. The TestTrack project is its own thing, as GM wanted a rework to better align with their own corporate vision. (Fun fact: At least some fabrication for the refurb is taking place at the tech center in MI).
The sticking point remains Spaceship Earth.. which could use the updated script, projection effects, and descent enhancement as planned pre-COVID, but the ride system needs an amount of work that is alarmingly close to being considered cost prohibitive to current management. IF new dollars come to EPCOT, SE will almost certainly soak up the bulk of them. We could see a JIYIWF redressing in the next decade, but I'd recommend tempering expectations.
Problem is, if they gamble and screw up 4.0, I feel like WDI/TWDC would never hear the end of it. I mean, they have heard about 2.0 for years now.There's no funds anywhere yet and SSE and Imagination will fight each other to see who goes first, SSE budget will be higher than Imagination's, and they're plainly indecisive what to even do outside of "figment is in the ride" because I've heard best case scenarios to the afformentioned "current ride with Dreamfinder over Channing".
Wonder if it would be in the cards for Destination D23 next year? Not saying they need to rush it for announcement purposes, but it would look good to announce something of that caliber while the event is at WDW.The rundown is: it's not happening anytime soon, I doubt EPCOT is getting much this D23 outside of Test Track, but maybe next D23 the first in line will get announced.
Do you happen to have any knowledge on any potential candidates for Figment's VA? Disney's been avoiding giving any voice to Figment (e.g. 50th statue) outside of Speedstorm (though this might have been picked by their team and not Disney)The rundown is: it's not happening anytime soon, I doubt EPCOT is getting much this D23 outside of Test Track, but maybe next D23 the first in line will get announced. All that's going around right now in my spheres are "figment is sticking around" "disney wants a sponsor for SSE" and "both will be redone in due time".
I feel like this can go one of two ways:Do you happen to have any knowledge on any potential candidates for Figment's VA? Disney's been avoiding giving any voice to Figment (e.g. 50th statue) outside of Speedstorm (though this might have been picked by their team and not Disney)
Destination D23 is where we heard about TT 3 so... maybe? That sounds like it'd work out.Problem is, if they gamble and screw up 4.0, I feel like WDI/TWDC would never hear the end of it. I mean, they have heard about 2.0 for years now.
