Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they just refreshed some of the scenes and re-utilized the screens, slap another 2 words on the title, and call it "NEW!" on the maps.

Just reshoot it with some celebrity Dreamfinder instead of Eric Idle and animate Figment on a Source Film Maker budget instead of the current PS1 Figment and call it a day.

Figment would ACTUALLY be better 3D animated, by today's animation standards... Let PIXAR do it.

I think we all need to come to terms with the fact that we're most likely never going to see a worthwhile attraction in this pavilion ever again. That being said, if they were to just refresh what's there it would still be better than nothing.

I think there will be a worthwhile attraction there eventually (or at least a new one... who knows if it'll be worthwhile), but it may have nothing to do with Figment or even imagination at all. And it's years away.

We're in the News and Rumor section of the forums.
There are no Insiders saying we'd see anything happening in the greater Imagination Pavilion for at least five years. So, no trustworthy rumors of any changes.
Certainly no news of changes.
So... please let this thread die.
If you want to do armchair imagineering... there's a whole different section of the forum for that. Start a new thread there.
It's dead.

The people at PIXAR do seem to be pretty big Figment fans... in addition to the cameos he had in Inside Out and Toy Story 4, I couldn't help but notice that the mascot of Ian's school in Onward looks very much like a green version of Figment.

If Pixar ever made a film adaptation of Figment, the Oriental Land Company would pay for an amazing ride and the domestic parks wouldn't get anything.

Ever again is a long timelol
Exactly what I meant. They'll do something there eventually, even if it's tear the whole thing down and build something completely unrelated. It could be 15 years from now, but the current ride won't stay there FOREVER.

I'm still surprised they haven't thrown him to Disney Junior yet..."Figment's Dreamfinder's" (in nod to the cancelled 83 series) Would work as a great show.....

Yeah I think I came off as a bit too grim there. I have major doubts that any Disney attraction will ever remain as is forever. Something will happen here eventually, it just might not be any time soon and it might not be any good.

Figment in his current form could easily replace Waldo in Muppets.

Considering the animation was done by Rival Company Pacific Data Images or PDI OR..What it's now called...Dreamworks Animation....

No it won't stay as is forever, lol.
It's also always one of the ones they seem to push back, so who knows?
But since it's usually walk on and pulls in crowds when the park is packed I could see why they keep putting off doing something there. But eventually it needs to get some attention of some kind. The vehicles are aging, the ride is aging. It gets very little attention from what I can tell, not that it's in awful shape per say but I also don't ride it very often ... common sense says they have to address it at some point. But I imagine a lot of things are off the table right now and pushed back.
I absolutely hate that this idea keeps coming up. Waldo is perfect in that annoying animated creation role in Muppets.
Figment is not meant to be annoying or animated.

I didnt say figment wasn’t meant to be annoying. But if he’s gonna stay annoying, he might as well be adopted by the muppets where his annoyingness would make more sense/be useful and constructive.
