It will be open in June. But it may possibly be having a soft opening in May, so ask when you get there.

I've seen both old and new Journies and I'm sorry i liked them both. I was a lot younger when I watched Dreamfinder and Figment, but I remember that some of those animatronics were amazing to a kid.
The new one, though not as cool as the old one, I have to say had some pretty neat affects. Yeah, they may have been a little corny, but I rode the thing everytime and I dont understand why there is so much animosity towards it.
Dont get me wrong, I like Figment as much as the next person, and I LOVE "One Little Spark", but give Your Imagination some credit, it was a rather creative ride. It just took out the wrong thing.

I have never been on JIYI. My last trip in January it was closed. I have heard about this figment character and I have heard he is going to be a part of the refurbished ride. I will definetly have to check it out when it is open.

Figment was basically the mascot for Epcot, and it was a shame when he was, uhhh, fired. Atleast Disney realized their mistake and everybody's favorite purple dragon will be part of the new version of the ride.

Nice map...
As for the JIYI ride. I thought the idea was good. If the Imagineers had more money I think that they could have done wonders to that ride. The plot and story were all there, it was just poorly excecuted.

Thanks for the map! Two classics destroyed. I know they have to keep the parks fresh, but with all that land...
Who knows, maybe one day they'll wise up. What would be nice, and I know it would never happen, was if they opened a new park with all the classic rides. But hey, it's not going to happen.

Unfortunately Americans don't appriciate the sprawling, detail laden attractions like WoM or JII. While these rides were magical, they were a money pit when it came to maintenance.
I'd rather remember them as the jewels they were rather than have Disney fail to maintain them the way we expect. They mark the end of an era for such elaboarate attractions.

I would agree totally that Test Track is a bigger money draining attraction then WoM ever was same for JII

Agreed but it also pulls in a LOT more people than WOM saw during most of it's lifetime. When was the last time you saw Test Track as a walk-on? Even when things were slow during the last quarter of 2001, that attraction still had a good wait.
Don't get me wrong, though. I liked WOM and truth be told if it were still here, I'd probably ride it more often than I do TT.
