Muppets probably being gone, JIMWF possibly making 30 years, man this is the worst possible outcomes for me personally. Blood on the saddle being gone and Tiana being mid already kinda broke my spirit.

they should turn Figment into a log flume ride where we are looking for missing sparks of imagination and the ride ends with us celebrating at whatever epcot festival is currently running lol perfect for Epcot’s 60th
They gotta find Buzzy for the party!

Figment and Dreamfinder are throwing an Art Showcase party but forgot all the sparks of imagination, we gotta try and find them (we were the sparks of imagination all along)

Maybe once Iger is gone this thing will finally happen sooner than later. If I recall he alluded to the fact that once Figment was brought back the ride was “fixed” once and for all. He doesn’t seem to want to lay a finger on the current version for whatever reason

I don't think JIIWF was his doing though? I think it was a late-Eisner thing.
Correct. All changes to JII were made under Eisner.
Rumor has it the president of the resort has a vehement distaste for the pavilion.

Yeah it was an Eisner thing, Bob even makes this clear in the video, but this is the clip I’m referencing. I may be reading too much into it but at least at that point in time, he seemed perfectly content with the current version. At 4:29 he discusses it

While plans can change at any time of course, the current one remains a new Imagination by EPCOT's 50th. We're looking at an SSE rehab beginning within the next few years (creative work is already underway), and then god willing Imagination afterwards.

You've been hearing SSE coming before Imagination?

Yes, SSE is next. I would expect it to be a next D23 announcement, but I could even see it as soon as Destination D. As soon as Test Track reopens it'll be all eyes on SSE.

This is mildly terrifying, only because they have to potential to completely butcher it.

Trust me I know that feeling. It's not gonna be the low budget temp fix many of us have speculated about over the last few years, it'll be proper and extensive. That could be really good or really bad and the thought of it being the latter petrifies me.

"We're going to be shutting it down to replace the track anyways... while we're in there, why not just turn it into a Wall-E ride?"

Well I remember some saying it won’t be an IP fest so that’s at least reassuring. But I completely agree, if SSE gets screwed up we’ll be left with that & JIIWF in the same park. Nightmare scenario.
On the other hand, both are properly redone and Epcot retains a very solid attraction lineup, reeeally hoping for the latter…
Been feeling very pessimistic about Epcot lately but TT 3.0 is bringing me alot of optimism right now

Hmm. I guess that hits the "by EPCOT50" quota! I've heard good things about the direction SSE is headed right now. Excited for TT3. Excited for SSE 5.
Imagination 4...

Bad pitches for the pavilion or not enough information on the matter? Truly mind boggling JII & Wonders are constantly sidelined when they’re the absolute No. 1 priorities. At least in our eyes. Glad things are looking up for the rest, just feels like we’re so close to a huge win & the universe won’t allow it

I guess the silver lining is that hopefully Iger will be out by the time they announce this stuff? So maaaaaaybe we have a shot at something great that isn’t shoehorning Inside Out in?

I've said this before, but should we even trust Iger's Disney to do a fourth version of the attraction?
