If a rejuvenated JII with a robust Figment presence means the inclusion of Inside Out characters - how do we feel about that?

Is it this year's time for Lucy to get the ball and call Charlie Brown over?

She’s long got it. Now we wait to see if it actually gets kicked.

Funny thing about this Imagination announcement. It was never notarized.

Calling it now:
In August D’Amaro is going to stand on the stage and talk about what a success the new Test Track overhaul is. Then he’ll talk about other fan favorites in EPCOT that the company is looking to bring up to date. The picture on the screen behind him will switch to a picture of the Imagination pavilion. Fans will collectively take a huge breath before D’Amaro bursts their bubble by saying “the Magic Eye Theater will be home to a brand new show starring the characters from PIXAR’s hit Inside Out franchise.”

ugh....please no!!
Anything in that pavilion without addressing it's original inhabitants will be a real bummer. The theater and the main attraction should relate....Not Inside Out and the remains of the Imagination attraction...how sad would that be?

Very. Inside Out belongs in Cranium Command.

Honestly, I'd be okay with them putting an Inside Out attraction in the Magic Eye Theater. Wouldn't be any less fitting than the Short Film Festival.
Keep the emotions out of the ride, though.

Honestly all of this pavillion would do so well as inside out. I know people love figment, but just make him a mascot - his ride sucks

Magic Eye is the only place where an Inside Out attraction makes sense without knocking something down to do a new build. They're not doing anything to Cranium Command for a while, if ever, and I think it's time we make peace with that.

The neighborhoods were set up so that just about anything could go anywhere short of Nature. The last project for Wonders of Life was quite literally just a dumping ground for any franchise they wanted, and was developed with its new neighborhood in mind. The definitions are so ambiguous that "Celebration" and "Discovery" and be twisted to mean anything.

I think giving Figment a new, actually good ride is the play versus making him into a mascot like that.

Changing the ride’s IP to Inside Out with a focus on the emotions rather than the Honey I Shrunk IP, w a focus on the 5 Senses w Figment shoehorned in currently would be missing the point to what actually destroyed the ride in ‘99 & ‘02 to begin with. (Hint: It was getting rid of the original 83-98 ride and the unneccesary Film IP inclusion & change of theme) Just restore it back to the original with the tech & spfx enhancements we would’ve expected. From the ride’s success, then you can do more with/expand the characters & concept in other mediums. (As what was originally planned before Eisner canned those plans for some reason)

I am against it because the Inside Out characters are so painfully obvious for the former Wonders of Life Pavilion putting them into Imagination would just be insulting.
