Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

Having just seen Inside Out 2 and thinking about how best to represent this property in a theme park:

To quote one of my favorite artists: "Content Dictates Form". A Cranium Command-esque presentation is what the property would excel with. A dark ride is not the correct medium to tell an Inside Out story, imho.

Magic Eye is the way to go.

I agree. Unless you make it a book report, an Inside Out dark ride would just be scene after scene of the emotions in Headquarters, standing around the control panel. It'd make a very dull dark ride. I think putting it in the Magic Eye Theater would be best if they don't want to just reopen Wonders of Life and stick it in the Cranium Command theater.

I feel like they can invent an excuse to get the emotions to Imagination Land. Probably not one that this forum would like, but I digress…

No ‘Inside Out’ in the Imagination Pavilion.
It is not needed!

Kick that to the curb….and send it packing.
Plenty of dead space and empty former show buildings to stick it into elsewhere on property.

No nonsense, unrelated IP overlays ….
Imagination Pavilion deserves better.

I know everyone  wants to believe Inside Out won't touch Imagination, but with the current way they're pushing IP into the parks, along with what I've heard, Inside Out is ending up at EPCOT eventually, and it may very well be next door to Journey into Imagination.

Thems the breaks.

What is preventing them from putting it in WOL?

Lack of capacity if complete leveling of the inside isn't done, high cost of doing said leveling, needs to be brought up to code, and Magic Eye has more capacity than the former Carnium Command theater. Magic Eye also puts it next to a ride which means more people will notice it and go to it/and or the ride.

Really an Inside Out show for Magic Eye is going to be the hook for them to invest in the pavilion again. There needs to be a non-parks exclusive IP hook for investment in park originals, that's been a thing since the Eisner days.

Tiki Room? Don't dump money into it until you can shove other birds/Stitch into it.

Country Bears? Don't dump money into it until Big Al is singing "Love is an Open Door"

Splash Mountain? Despite not being a parks exclusive IP, it basically is in the US, and it was left to rot until it became Princess and the Frog.

Things like Big Thunder, Small World and Haunted Mansion are immune to this and Test Track has a GM bill.


Let me double down here. Inside Out in Magic Eye? Harmless! It's not worse than Captain EO next to Imagination. Not worse than Magic Journeys, HISTA, and now the Disney Shorts compilation. I get why people don't want the ride part, and that isn't happening. Figment sells too much merch in parks and is still a valuable IP to Disney. Having an Inside Out anchor next door will only increase the amount of eyes ON Figment.

Nobody will shed tears if the current film went, and will be happy if anything went into the pavilion that wasn't another M&G.

spot on,,,though Small World could use...I don't know they need to revert the front, back to how it use to be more open and with fountains, heaven forbid there be a fountain again...but different topic for diff thread I know......Actually I think if they are going to add inside out anything magic eye theater is perfect next to figgy. What's there now is a joke.

Correct. There is no downside. Similarly to Remy in France, if Inside Out never existed and those characters appeared as original parks characters, they would fit EPCOT.

To use your reference as it being an anchor of the pavilion, it would almost certainly be a catalyst for Figment getting his due in a big way.

At the very least, they need to take the Magic Eye Theater off Genie Plus.

The Lightning Lane door leads to the same area as the normal one and there wasn't even someone manning it when I went in there.

I know they don't have a lot of stuff to put on there, but that's just flat out scammy.

(To be clear, I wasn't using it. I went in for air conditioning and saw a very confused family scan in.)

I don't love it, but I'm ok with an Inside Out film in Magic Eye IF it then eventually leads to a proper JII refurb and redo (or restoration) of the pavilion. The theater has always had fairly random things. (Even Magic Journeys.). I actually think receiving Cranium Command using the Inside Out characters could work. (Basically how the emotions navigate the creative process.)

Inside Out is a great commercial success and as close to a perfect IP fit for Epcot as I can imagine. I would adore it in some form at the Imagination Pavilion whether on its own in the theatre or part of a larger refurb along Figment

The only thing that makes no sense for Inside Out going to any part of the Imagination Pavilion is that they kicked Joy out of ImageWorks with no replacement, and put her in Hollywood Studios's Pixar Plaza. If Inside Out was coming to Magic Eye Theater, why move the relevant meet and greet out of Epcot?

Because Studios needed something this summer. M&Gs can be moved around all the time.

I feel like the Mickey M&G space can become a Joy M&G if the Inside Out film happens

I have a gut feeling WOL is eventually getting knocked down
