News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

[MisterPenguin]

Remember those guest surveys about Figment? Those were orchestrated by him to prove to the higher-ups that people still love Figment. Alas, Iger doesn't seem to get the hint.

If he didn't get the hint, then then why hasn't Figment been replaced by Inside Out yet?

NBA experience was more important to Iger

Inside Out director Pete Docter made a video cameo at RetroMagic to discuss how he worked on Cranium Command. Makes the connection between the two concepts even more coincidental.

The movie is such an obvious IP overlay for Wonders of Life it's maddening how many other IPs have actually made it into the park, but not this one.

Rides costs money…some customers will pay more for less rides…

…here Endeth the lesson

I dunno, maybe there are Figment fans in Imagineering who don't want to see the poor dragon get kicked out again?

If figment is so important to guests, and guests are so important to Disney, why does figments ride suck?

Because the management is terrible and is failing?

…can you give me a harder question next time?

I think it's less likely now than ever. Any of the Cranium Command infrastructure they could have recycled is now long gone, would have to be a fresh build now.

Was it ever mentioned how far into development PLAY! was prior to the decision to mothball it? Wasn't it like 80% completed?

Play! pavilion should be at DS behind a paywall. Hopefully they just relocate things over there.
