Especially after seeing "Short Circuit" on Disney+, since one of the shorts used 2D/CGI imagery (especially "Just A Thought", "Exchange Student", and "Downtown").Figment and Dreamfinder would be better served with an animated film. It's high time Disney actually does something with that CGI/2D blending tech they keep experimenting with in shorts on a full feature scale.
For what it's worth, in the last couple days, Rhode has posted some drawings he recently made of Dinosaurs on his Instagram feed... Not sure if that has any connection to the closing of Primeval Whirl (and more importantly what might replace that area) or if it's just coincidence...
All these permutations have been dizzying!that was the rumor at one point, however, the latest rumor seemed To suggest some teacups. Not sure the validity of that, but that’s what went around.
In fact, Favreau could probably do a passable Dreamfinder all by himself...I don’t think a big budget fantasy adventure film about Figment and Dreamfinder would bomb. At all. Especially with Favreau.

I was gonna suggest letting the guys at PIXAR do something with Figment myself. Between his cameos in Inside Out and Toy Story 4 and the school mascot in Onward bearing a striking resemblance to him, there's clearly a lot of Figment fans at PIXAR.I'd say give figment to Pixar and let them do a series of unique shorts. Airing them on Disney+ would be a great re-introduction to a new/younger audience without Disney having to wrestle with spending such a large budget on a feature length film.
Yup! I can even remember the story where I believe it was Chapek, who pitched an inside out replacement of imagination devoid of Figment to Pete Doctor, to which Pete defended figment and wanted him to remain at Epcot.I was gonna suggest letting the guys at PIXAR do something with Figment myself.

After Frank Wells died, Disney had multiple attractions that were subpar in the years Eisner had remaining in his reign as CEO and it was not just Primeval Whirl. It was not just a WDW problem either.
I never went to Disneyland, but I read Disney California Adventure was a big disappointment in its early years with complaints about the park. Superstar Limo was so bad a ride that it did not even last a year before it closed down despite it being a DCA grand opening attraction.
In terms of WDW, Enchanted Tiki Room under New Management was not looked kindly by people like me. The 2nd version of Imagination was terrible and got replaced by a 3rd version.
We have spent 2 days there and still didn’t get a chance to do everything. Every trip now to Disney we plan at least 2 and a half days at AK.If you think of AK as FoP,the yeti and safari then you can do it in a day with a meal or two. Skipping the shows, the trails and everything else is not giving one of the best parks Disney has ever made justice.I don't get people that say this at all. Animal Kingdom is far and away the prettiest park. The nature trails are awesome. We can spend two days there easily. It's our favorite.
If only John Musker and Ron Clements stopped them from announcing a Princess and the Frog retheme of Splash Mountain.Yup! I can even remember the story where I believe it was Chapek, who pitched an inside out replacement of imagination devoid of Figment to Pete Doctor, to which Pete defended figment and wanted him to remain at Epcot.
I know about his terrible reputation for a very long time. He was responsible for DCA and it was approved his watch.I think the name you are looking for is Paul Pressler.
It looks like they had plans to reopen it. There are the 6ft markers on the floor by the entrance.Here is a look at Primeval Whirl today.
Cast were getting pictures in-front of the ride, although no walls yet.

Good point...I wonder if it hit a “point of no return” regarding maintenance?It looks like they had plans to reopen it. There are the 6ft markers on the floor by the entrance.
