If they're looking for a halloween event in a second park, they could put a haunted house in there with very little effort.

If "insiders" had any clue at all what was happening with Figment, the pavilion would have been overhauled a decade ago at the minimum. Nothing is happening until TWDC says otherwise.
If Muppetvision can teach us anything, its that any possible scenario can happen. Muppetvision was completely untouchable until two seconds ago. If they can axe a show that beloved, don't think they won't kick figment out of the ride again.

I hope more this Figment refresh is planned for Epcot.
If they are “turbocharging” investments into the parks additional projects should be in the works.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Exactly this.

The ‘Inside Out’ rumors need to die.
Not happening.
It seems every couple of years this pops up from some random poster and I have to comment here.
This is not happening and it is NOT needed.
The Imagination Pavillion already has its own ‘IP’.
It does NOT need to become yet another casualty caused by yet another unneeded Pixar overlay.
‘Inside Out’ has nothing to do with being imaginative …
Epcot already has ( or more specifically had ) a wonderful imaginative premise for the Pavillion here, along with two highly imaginative custom made characters.
Enough already with the Pixar crap.

Epcot doesn't "scream" halloween events to me.
Definitely more of a Hollywood Studios kinda thing. Which has been done a few times before, of course.

Well, what do you expect for 23 years of built up Figment Farts Blowing in your face...

One of the major characters from the first film is an imaginary friend. They literally go on a journey into Riley’s imagination.
It’s not the primary focus of the movie, but it would be a better fit than several of the IPs that Disney has shoehorned in places lately.

And its a shallow and basic take on imagination with an imaginary friend character that's even more obnoxious and annoying then the current version of Figment.

Agree, but imagine if they just opened wonders of life as a Halloween event and let people walk around. It'd sell out.

Would have rather a Phineas and Ferb 4D attraction where they break the fourth wall of reality causing a mish mash of things tying in something with Perry & Doofenshmirtz, A new song for the film and it all goes back to normal having Candace attempt to Bust the boys still ends in failure...
Ever since he was a child, little Heinz Doofenshmirtz had always dreamed of visiting Imaginationland, his favorite childhood TV show. The show, filled with the adventurous quests of Mayor Dreamfinder and Figment, a world of endless creativity and invention... /s

The Magic Eye Theater has a very long history of having nothing to do with Figment. I’m not really sure what you hope to achieve with your regularly scheduled diatribe. It either stays Pixar shorts or gets updated to some IP or other. Figment isn’t getting two attractions.

Is that a BELOVED attraction, though?
Would today's Disney go through the trouble of revamping a long-abandoned pavilion, though? I can't help but think that a 3D movie in the Magic Eye would probably be cheaper and thus what Iger and his team are more likely to do.
I mean, there are some PIXAR movies I think would work fine in EPCOT. WALL-E wouldn't be a bad choice. I think Elemental would be a good choice for a pavilion focusing on the elements. But if they replace Figment with Joy, I'm going to flip out.
Considering that he's apparently not even mentioned at any point in the sequel (there's a little origami figurine in Joy's room as an Easter egg. That's all we get), I wouldn't expect any hypothetical Inside Out attraction in the Imagination pavilion to have anything to do with Bing Bong. And if he's not in it, what's the point of going to Imagination Land?
Honestly, I think that's why the idea of putting it in the Magic Eye Theater doesn't bother me. Captain EO and the Short Films Festival don't have anything to do with the imagination either, so putting an Inside Out show in there doesn't seem like it'd be any worse a fit. I honestly think a show would be a better fit for the franchise than a dark ride would anyway - unless it's a book report, the ride would probably just be scene after scene of the Emotions gathered around the control panel in Headquarters. And that would be a very boring dark ride.
Maybe they can claim to be hauling Baxter out for a Figment redo. That'll make it all better /s

I do feel like Baxter would be 100% game to come out of retirement and redo Imagination for one last ride.
I don't think upper management would be game to do that though, but, I dunno.

Why? Does management dislike Baxter?
