Either that, or allow that building to become an entire pavilion built around The Cosmos and intergalactic travel...tie Mission Space and Guardians together...An intergalactic Space port...multiple attractions within the dome, a restaurant, a theater show.... at least it would make that part of EPCOT feel like it works together thematically....

TWDC can hurry up and acquire DC Comics, and make the WOL pavilion the headquarters for the Legion of Doom

Inside Out is basically Cranium Command. They just need to recreate that attraction in WOL.

Exactly. Inside Out lends itself perfectly to a Cranium Command style attraction. Even though I often complain about IP in the parks, it would make plenty of sense for that.

But not as a Figment replacement.

There's nothing  left in WOL to recreate. I've seen the photos of the inside of the building that have been floating around and there's nothing really left.

Magic Eye has an existing structure and is more cost-effecient to build in, along with ease of access.

Like, I get it, we're worried Figment is gonna be outed by the Magic Eye film again, but they're not going to do that.


The worst that'll happen is that he'll sing You've Got a Friend in Me with Dreamfinder. Duh.

Yup, worst scenario is Magic Eye film IP neighboring darkride with Figment cameos… which if they’re really out of touch could happen & would be the most ironic thing this company has done, but they’ve gotta see even a crossover attraction would need Figment front & center with IO characters taking the backseat. I can’t see how that even leads to a cohesive darkride. Maybe a show, but not a ride. Now they could set the entire pavilion within Imaginationland, JII is a storybook within the IO universe, & the attraction is presented in similar vein to Pooh where you travel thru something like a Little Golden Book

Giving IO ME would be great. My fear has been they are going to see ME as too small a representation when IO2 is going to become the top grossing Pixar film in a few days, very likely overtaking Frozens and Mario for the top animated overall, and it's not even a month in. The way this leadership has ran, even with Figment such a popular character and seller, have a hard time seeing them give IO the side theater while the main ride is reserved for a (for now) non-film IP that is almost entirely known by park fanatics and has many other options for him to stay, even if they co-share the ride.

If Journey Inside Out Imagination with Figment happens? Now I can't say I'd be surprised, or not forewarned.

An observation I’ve seen is that Inside Out doesn’t push merch as hard as Figment does. Not to say that it doesn’t push merch, because it does. But Figment merch ends up as entire spectacles for park fans. Inside Out 2 merch, even with the movie’s success both financially and quality, isn’t doing crazy numbers in merch. Unlike other recent successes like Mario, Mandalorian, Frozen 2, it is very easy to get your hands on an Anxiety or Joy doll. So merch wise, it’s not pushing like some other similar successes. Disney will take notice of this.

i do wish we weren’t in an endless loop of “it’s coming in a few years” for figment. I feel as if we’ve made no progress.

As was said earlier in the thread, a great way to tell how long someone has been in the fandom is how many “Dreamfinder is coming back!” Rumors they’ve lived through, bonus points for the initial Inside Out rumors.

If the Canada developments end up as a DVC lounge, things might be interesting.

What is actually holding them back from just getting the best of the best Imagineers back together and reimagining an Imagination2.0 with the original characters... Yeah yeah, I know money, but for less than the cost of Chapek's golden parachute and Bob's 2023 Executive Bonus, they could have probably done a whole lot to make Imagination start to resemble the bright and vibrant pavilion it once was...
