Rumor Is Dreamfinder, the roving M&G, coming back to Epcot soon?

[trainplane3]

I've seen the video all right! Although doesn't V2 have a more accurate setting when compared to the pre shows in Honey I Shrunk the Audience?

It did bring the entire pavilion under the single theme of "The Imagination Institute", so I'd say it did. I don't remember HIStA preshow very well honestly. But did it fit better then what we currently have? Eh, I don't think so. They're about the same in my book.

Both HIStA and JIYI provoked the theme of the Imagination Institute only being open to guests one day a year for the "Inventer of the Year Award." Both V2 and V3 are bad attractions so what's it matter really.

Don't forget this moment from 2011

I've never been on the original attraction or have had the opportunity to meet Dreamfinder in person, but damn did I get chills from this. The whole crowd singing, that genuine look of joy on Dreamfinder's face. Absolute magic.

I would take a brand new, amazing, imagination attraction for the pavilion over the return of dreamfinder....

And it got rid of a somehow even worse ride in terms of story and sets. There were literally parts with nothing there aside from a small set piece. Example: The light panel part. Literally nothing except for 2 big panels as your tracks zigzags for no reason. At least we have a lab setting now, even if it is pretty crap. Go to 12:40 in Martins video to see how crap the ride was. I recommend watching the entire thing because...well it's a Martin video. And it's a short one too.

Seeing Figment on the screens over the queue got me so excited when I came back to WDW right after V2 opened. The ending was multiple levels of Wednesday Thursday Friday. Being teased with Figment at the end made me think the ride was going to become good and we were going to go on an adventure. The level of disappointment I had when it was over was really something else.

And also the final time we heard Bill Barty's Figment voice.

Actually, Corey Burton did the 1999 Figment.

That was Corey Burton? He actually did a very good impression of Bill Barty's performance.

But with an annoying personality and lacks the charm and childish nature as the original.

Second to Figzilla.......Worse idea to make him 7 feet tall...

 

[hobovampire]

I know I'm late but comic Dreamfinder is v hot, I just reread the trade again and yes can confirm, very hot. So, I for one, put my money in the Dreamfinfer 2.0 top hat. Gimme that neatly trimmed beard and slightly slimmer leg pants pls.

I forgot how awkward Figment looked until now. It's worse with video footage since that version of Figment is limited in movement. Especially since we're so used to puppet Figment.

 

[brb1006]

I actually don't mind Figzilla

But still limited in movement compared to the puppet form. In fact after seeing Inside Out, I'm imaging the person inside the giant Figment to be like this guy from Inside Out at kid's birthday party as seen during the credits at 0:43 when it comes to reactions from older Epcot visitors.

Can anyone answer a question for me? @Magic Feather @MisterPenguin @marni1971
Has a 3D movie featuring Figment ever been proposed to be developed for the movie theatre?

There was one proposed featuring the Dreamfinder and his son years back, which probably would have featured Figment! And that’s likely the closest thing.

I thought they used snippets of the oringal figment. Billy

Yes it was Billy Barty. Corey never did Figment.

Yes it was Billy Barty. Corey never did Figment.

I just looked it up, it was Corey, but I think he may have done the voice on the screens as you entered the ver 2 ride. I'm almost positive the figment you heard at the end of ver 2 was Billy...

Just listened to it.. Def Corey on the screens, and def Billy at the end of the ride.

Please show me where? Because any sites I've seen only state Billy Barty & Dave Goelz...
