So why exactly did Disney ruin Journey Into Imagination?

And of course we all want that Disney Collectors Pin of Figment Farting out his name....

Hate to bump an old thread but this was the most recent imagination thread I could find. I just wanted to point out the Figment footprints that were painted over last year are back. The footprints that lead into What-If? Labs I mean.

Not that it's going to do so much. But, I guess it's an improvement or something I guess.....

I picture an opening that's more of a hybrid of Mystic Manor and Shanghai Pirates. Figment and Dreamfinder demonstrate the Mesmonic Spark Convertor (Something like Manor's storage room starting point) and after creating a portal, take us soaring in ala Pirates's projection deep sea dive.

There are many truly imaginative things that could be done with the Pavilion today with the right people helming the charge.
The fact that the Disney Company has made little to no effort to act upon it
sends a clear message in my opinion.

I'm still pretty saddened by the current state of Imagination and forever hopeful we'll get a 4.0.

I doubt that will happen anytime soon, Disney has been putting money into keeping 3.0 alive, or maybe it is to make sure everything is properly fixed for 4.0. Who knows?
For about 20 years WDW has had creative decisions made by people who only dimly understand what made Disney theme parks special. As a result, they occasionally get something right, but more often than not, they aimlessly bumble around and on occasion ruin things.

Not really. Local crews with pride have been trying to make it look as good as possible given what they're working with.

No 'Pixar' is needed or wanted in Figment's world of imaginative things.

I'm afraid the Pixar and Figment are all part of one big, happy family joined through marriage. The Disney Family. It's that in-law that you don't like, but, still have to tolerate.No 'Pixar' is needed or wanted in Figment's world of imaginative things.

Original characters and franchises can never share an attraction all that well. See the post-Depp Pirates ride or Tiki Room Under New Management.
Inside Out should be a Cranium Command reboot.

I will totally agree on the Tiki room fiasco because it essentially changed the entire atmosphere of the attraction from gentle and pleasant to a screaming mass of garbage. However, Pirates really didn't change all that much other then to be able to identify with a younger audience that perhaps were attracted to the show via the movie. The AA of Depp was absolutely amazing, and the basic story didn't change even a little, it just added to the interest and enabled many to identify that couldn't before. So some changes can be done quite fluidly and in my opinion, didn't hurt the ride at all. The pirates were still pirates, but, now there was one that we recognized.

Pirates became way too focused on Jack to such a degree that it makes no sense. Like why is finding Jack a bigger priority then the treasure and why is the town's government apparently protecting him? And why must he always be addressed as Captain Jack Sparrow even though one of the series's running gags is that nobody outside his allies respects him enough to call him Captain? Not to mention having to be reminded every five seconds that Jack Sparrow is in the ride.
It's like Homer wrote the script.

I think he's gotten Bing Bong on the mind since he's an imaginary creature

Not sure if it was posted earlier, but the creators of the movie talked to Imagineering when the film came out about their ideas for the ride.
100% agreed on both points.

Inside Out producer Jonas Rivera:
My pitch is that I think this could be a pavilion at Epcot. You’ve got The Sea. Nemo’s there. So in The Land there’s a section called Imagination that’s still there and it’s still cool. [The character] Figment and all that. I loved that as a kid. And I thought, well, ‘We have the mind now.’

Imagination...senses...emotion...same thing and stuff. Well it's all, like, the mind and stuff? ( <--question mark intonation)
If its all the same, perhaps he should've included 'smell' as one of his five IO emotion characters, say, replacing Anger, and added Figment as the character 'Imagination' for Joy.
