If it's really not happening, that'd make me so sad. Figment deserves a movie.
So you would prefer they do nothing with the IP but a popcorn bucket instead of allow OLC to develop something amazing around the IP....which could then end up in stateside parks? I don't like any IP less because it is also being used by a Disney park in another country....
It’s not that I don’t want disney to do nothing with JII, and if it means having OLC do it I’m definitely on board, l just like how all of Epcot’s future world attractions (excluding Soarin) are distinct to Epcot. Exclusive attractions are a part of what make Epcot unique since you can’t have those types of experiences anywhere else.
The new meet-and-greet makes me happy, but I wonder how long the current ride will last. 2030s?! 2040s?!
Well if the rumors are to be believed, we would see the figment ride updates around 2032 (50 year anniversary)
That’s not too bad
That's still almost a decade away. Do you know how dated the ride will feel in 2032?! Just look at the CGI on Figment. So so bad. In 2002 it looked passable I guess but by 2010 it already looked very cheap. It's just such a glaring issue. And 30 years of this version is ridiculous. Again I don't hate the current ride, but it should've been reworked at least 5-7 years ago.
I agree and wish that they would update it sooner - this is the classic disney cycle though; when things are good stop investing and focus just on milking the guests at the cost of deteriorating brand value and quality; then try to play catchup but have it always be later than we want and/or not as good because they have to fix so many things that have become dated. Like even with Epcot's overhaul being "complete" you still have so many old and dated things in World Showcase + SSE + Figment + Living Seas + Mission Space. So it's like where do they even start?
Epcot is definitely not "complete". Not to mention Wonders of Life. It will sit abandoned possibly for another decade or two now that the Play Pavillion has been cancelled.
I'm wondering how bad the 2030s will be for EPCOT at this rate. It'll be completely soulless by then with these changes.
Are you serious? Devon and Cornwall from Quest For Camelot came out in 1997 2 years prior to the PBS show and ironically Devon Looks way more like Figment and Oddly enough voice by Eric Idle (Nigel Channing) while Cornwall is Don Rickles (Mr. Potatohead). This was WB's attempt to have their own version of Genie.....Than didn't work out too well..
He escaped his glass pyramid jail cell. Who knows where he'll show up next.
Genuine question, why do these footprints get removed from time to time? I know it probably has something to do with maintenance but what about these requires that?
