The original sign and Sensor sign are gone. All that is left are the busted mirrors at the end and the archway. The tunnel is presumed destroyed, but again Clueless has "seen it with his own eyes". Willing to bet it's a replica if anything is there

Rumor Rainbow Corridor to be revived at the Odyssey? (Per site that shall not be named)

Even if it were saved, I doubt they’d use it. As you suggest, it’s the type of feature that would just be rebuilt with modern wiring and lights.

I'm hoping he just gets booed off the stage when he starts with his news. Maybe then they will finally start to see how many of these ideas are "popular."
Funny, that site said that in the rainbow tunnel, people were 'assigned' a color and it followed them through the tunnel. But the video they posted showed the colors zooming through the tunnel without any coordination of the people in it.

It would alternate between the two cycles. Either color following or the flowing colors. I’ve seen both happen in footage.

Even if the old lighting survived intact, it probably wouldn't work anymore. And it's cheaper, quicker and easier just to build a fresh one than try to restore the original.

Even if true, if the tunnel were built, it would be useless. In 2019 a rainbow tunnel will just be a 24/7 photo op, with a permant queue of people lining up for picture 4185 of themselves that day.
Mind that this is also why I would lend some credibility to this rumour.

I could maybe see them recreating the Sensor sign or something, and getting the arch back from Image Works, but the original tunnel is a real doubt. They had to remove it to install an AC Duct above it for the DVC Lounge, and it would be dangerous to climb on top of. The tunnel no longer served a purpose up there, so everyone really presumed it got destroyed. Plus the debris and shattered mirrors at the end of the tunnel aren’t great signs that it survived. I’m calling BS on it being the original tunnel.

It was my understanding the Odyssey was going to display models and concept art of proposed projects. That type of space does not seem compatible with a motion activated light display. If the Rainbow tunnel could not be included in a update to the Imagination Pavilion, it make more sense in the proposed Play Pavilion. Obviously, it would be a rebuild with LEDs and a completely new computer system.
Wait, what am I missing? Is there a new rumor about Figment now? The other longstanding one had been debunked.

What was the other longstanding one? The Phineas and Ferb one from around 2013 or 2014? Has the Inside Out rumor been debunked?

Yeah, those idiots trying to take their picture with something cool...

This is a strange rumor. I can see the point of having something "instagrammable" like the purple wall (yikes), and the connection to the past is good with me. But putting it in the Odyssey just seems odd to me, unless maybe it's a preview of something larger happening at Imagination later?

Ya! Like the idea of each color representing a different emotion! Emotions are perfect for imagination! Wait, they're different things? Who cares, something something corporate synergy!
I think I just had a stroke writing that.
Thank you Chapek, very cool
