Thanks for the reply, Martin.I'm happy to say there's far FAR better versions of those videos coming next fall
What we do know about the closure of JII;
Futureworld was undergoing its first overhaul
JII was expensive to maintain
Kodak wanted to go "hip" (see Food Rocks)
The ride system and in particular the rotating Flight to Imagination interlock never fully functioned as designed. The latter was still a constant issue. It was ahead of its time in 1982 and was never revisited (today it would be simple)
A smaller overall floorspace would be easier and cost less to maintain.
Never thought I would hear that about Scrappy
Jinkies me neither ,reh.
He was in one projection in the finale of Journey into Your Imagination.
Maybe mouse ears will hear what's been said in the past how many years and reincarnate Dreamfinder with Figment in an updated version. One can hope...purple dragon fingers crossed.
Figment was in the redo but only as a brief cameo during the consolations.
Don't forget that while your in the queue for JIYI Figment shows up at one point much to the annoyance of the host.
How dare they! Don't they know he's the star?
That was an interesting article since I don't usually read the articles on that site.
I think that was also the last time Billy Barty voiced Figment since this was made in 1999 a year before his death.How dare they! Don't they know he's the star?
