Is this where the rainbow tunnel was located?

Nigel Channing's label was still there last week.

I saw a cast member come out through one of the Innoventions doors last week and I still saw the "Where's the Fire?" exhibit through the door and the light was still completely on.
Gosh, it made me depressed. I LOVED that game. I won one of those dream pass lanyard things after playing that game. The lanyard that had plastic tabs you pulled off for fastpasses for all Epcot rides with fastpasses. It was lit.

WiR moved here because Innoventions West isn't long for this world. Anything that might happen to the Figment ride is years away according to @marni1971 .

No. It was in the Upstairs former Imageworks where it is walled off now.

I can't believe this is something that's getting attention. Isn't the frame still sitting upstairs? (Not basing it off the following tweet, but I thought the frame was still upstairs)
Maybe if I squint hard enough at the GotG box, I can see Horizons.

Whether it’s a reskinned version or not, it’s definitely a nod to it.

Now to wait and see if they do anything besides using it as window dressing

Disney implants fake memories into the minds of their guests, at least that’s what Escape From Tomorrow told me and nothing from that movie can be false, right!?

Attractions Magazine has a video featuring the lighting of the tunnel...
Now, having seen this area for the M&G..They have stated that more greets will be happening soon there...I'm assuming it's going to be a rotation of characters as it appears that the former Kodak film processing area where the characters are going through the web portal is now a break area for the characters..

This feels like a more permanent set-up than I was expecting. I assume this means Ralph and Vanellope will be hanging out here for awhile. It seems explicitly set up for them as opposed to something that could be easily swapped over to someone else.

Yeah. Just looking more at the pictures alone, it just looks like a wall sticker and not a tunnel.

Not gonna lie, the lighting on the tunnel looks great, pretty cool entrance for characters.
If Epcot wants to become this 80s nostalgia park, WiR is a natural fit. Not enough to replace Figment though.

I think this setup is literally only to supplement the loss of the Innoventions West space. Once that’s done I’m sure a more designated space will take the character M&G’s back.

Why do I still have a feeling that WoL will become the new character hub for the majority of M&G's for FW as nothing else seems to be happening to it since the exterior refurb there really isn't a legit kids pavillion. Why not just use The Kidcot name for it....Just a thought...Could be wrong. But, who knows?

I wouldn’t be surprised at all. It’s definitely a valid thought. Especially since that pavilion is probably going to be focused on a younger crowd moving forward.
