Rumor Inside Out to Replace Journey into Imagination with Figment?

Yeah, the Meow Wolf in Santa Fe is pretty wild, too. I'd love to see their creativity but with a Disney budget. (No "cardboard cutouts.")
Yeah, it’s definately pretty out there, in a very good way too! It’s just so colorful and creative, a true non Disney or universal theme park masterpiece in my opinion, and I agree, they can totally put dreamfinder and figment in a crazy, imaginative, and insanely colorful environment for imagination v4, if they decide to include dreamfinder along with figment again for v4!!!

@marni1971 to get a bit of a timeline here, would you happen to know how far back the first proposal for imagination v4 was that you heard of, and was there a specific year when the proposals started, up until recently? It’s fine if you’re not sure, I just want to get a bit of a perspective here.

It's kind of astounding that Spaceship Earth will have received 2 different overhauls before Imagination receives the one it has needed desperately for 20 years.

The Irons version of Spaceship Earth could still be playing well to a contemporary audience with only relatively minor update work. The current version of Imagination shouldn't have even lived to see the new millennium.

While what we ended up with is rough relative to v1, it's probably the best we were going to get at the time when they already paid Eric Idle to be the face of it and completely changed the physical layout. I don't trust that any time in the past 10 years an overhaul would bring back Figment and Dreamfinder for a worthy ride. So IMO it's better to have this weird thing introduce kids to goofy Figment and remind adults of once was. At least now there is a chance they will "get it right" after deciding to reinvest more heavily in attractions

Of course, SSE had 2 different sponsors during that time period who dropped money into updating the attraction.

Imagination had only one that was going bankrupt.

Now this is what the new imagination attraction should be like with the return of figment and dreamfinder!


That is a GORGEOUS ride, even though it doesn't make much sense. Still love it though. Also, I think the video skips a bit - in the beginning of the ride, guests go to a staircase where a stuffy Herald is standing, and the court-jester character splits the staircase in two, allowing the guests to enter into the actual ride. It's an amazing effect. Walt would take one look at this ride and say, "This is great - but WE could plus it!" And then he'd do just that. Ah, for the days when the Walt Disney Company was actually the Walt Disney Company...

I know this sounds kind of random, but I think the new imagination attraction should involve clouds in every scene by the sides of your vehicle, while you go through each different scene, to create a dreamy setting, and Disney can make it a trackless enhanced motion vehicle, that will allow you to feel like you are floating in the sky, maybe with dreamfinder and figment alongside the dreamcatcher. Oh, and just a reminder, if you haven’t already, I strongly recommend you guys check out the site that @DoleWhipDrea created, all about resorting imagination back to its former glory!! If you are interested, I highly recommend sending letters to the Walt Disney company! Here is the link https://dreamfinderandfigmentrestorationsociety.wordpress.com/

^ well they did originally have that but the effect caused some damage. Now, in days like where even buzz light year's fog has been removed, sadly I don't see Disney paying to keep effects in rides running (Color me shocked that the fog in some parts of spaceship earth.. still works)

Please have it be the Dreamfinder and Figment! No Inside Out or Wreck it Ralph.
I wouldn’t worry about wreck it Ralph taking over or any non imagination related IP. @marni1971 confirmed that the only IP proposal he knew of was the inside out one, which is just one proposal out of many, and we are still a long ways from imagination’s redo, so just like he also said, anything can change from here till the next few years. Nothing is official. all we can do now is let Disney know we want dreamfinder back along with figment! Again, if you want to reach out to disney, check out the https://dreamfinderandfigmentrestorationsociety.wordpress.com/ where you will find all of the info of who to send letters to! I already sent my letters!

Thank god for Marni! I hope Disney makes the right choice. I wish Iger would give Chapek the boot and make Tony Baxter in charge of the parks especially EPCOT.

Yes I totally agree! Tony Baxter is a true legend! Also, if marni wasn’t here, we wouldn’t have as many interesting discussions on this forum, so I think we are definitely lucky to have him on here.

I've been paying attention to this thread for more than two months and I believe you shouldn't count your chickens until they've hatched

Chapek won't be replaced as long as the parks are making money. If Chapek was smart he would put someone in charge who understands what Epcot Center was and could be again, and he could sit back and take all the credit. He's too busy micromanaging and thinking of "clever" ways to get more IP crammed down our throats and then selling the associated merchandise. Bottom line numbers show it's working. There is a lot of disagreement amongst leadership and WDI respectively and between both of those groups as well. They have team building activities planned for both of them - when maybe they only need to look in the mirror.

The Bobs are in town now for some of these activities along with most of those who report directly to Big Bobs. I'm sure all of them flying to Florida will get things running smoothly again.
