We will have to diagree, you have been on it but it has been a long time just go watch it again and you might change your mind :shrug:
Its a good ride, but pirates and hm are just a notch above it. And im not a big dreamfinder fan.

I see that alot of people on this board post about dreamfinder and his return. IMO a character like Dreamfinder would not be practical anymore, and is nice nostalgia but in no way belongs in imagination anymore, figment possibly but i still do not know how i feel about him, Imagination needs to move into a new age. Honey I Shrunk the Audience, really? Is it still the 90's most guests know what it is, but how much longer is that going to last. Again retro and nostalgia is nice, but leave it to memories and videos and other media and move on.
Dream Finder and Figment is what made the world of imagination. I've been on all three rideds with Dream Finder and Figment, No Figment and of course what we currently have. Dream Finder and Figment was the best and truly needs to come back. Yes it is also time to create a new movie and get rid of Honey I Shrunk the audiance.[/QUOTE]
Everything that I have heard about the JII refurb points to the theater being demolished to make way for more ride space :shrug:
Saying Dreamfinder is retro is like saying Santa Claus is retro. I've said it before and I'll happily say it again -- what made the original ride and characters so great (both for guests and Disney) the first time around, compared to just about every other original EC attraction is that the story and characters were TIMELESS. I think this is also where comparisons to Pirates and Haunted Mansion come in. The genius of those rides is that, with the exception of updated technology over time, they never need updating.
The original Imagination pavilion was perfect. Disney had a main attraction that would need very little updating through the years (with some tech/scene updates aside), surrounded by two additional attractions they could update with ease -- a 3D movie and a collection of fun interactive toys. By keeping both of these side exhibits fresh over time, they could lure guests into the pavilion without the need for an expensive overhaul to the main ride.
Instead, they killed the main ride AND Image Works -- and haven't touched the 3D theater in about 15 years! Yikes.
Near Perfect Magic Journey's was :lookaroun
I won't argue with you there (if you're saying you liked it). I LOVED Magic Journeys. It's my favorite Disney 3D film. Unfortunately, even I can't deny that the thing was already dripping with 70s retroness from the moment it appeared on screen in 1982. Still, the concept and visuals from the film IMO never got stale. Just the kids and their style.![]()
Kind of reminds me of that old JII concept Imagineers threw out about you going through a rock star's imagination... :lookarounIt could be worse.....

I suddenly hate Fantasyland and Star Tours.:lookarounStatus of the pavilion? There are lots of grand plans for all 3 attractions. They just need funding.
Exactly, though, even Channing could remain, if done right....Figment's not gonna go anywhere. Disney learned their lesson from the 2000 disaster to not keep him out of the Imagination ride. And Figment works more effectively when he's with Dreamfinder.
YOu just sound like someone who's never ridden or seen video of the original, which was a Haunted Mansion/Pirates tier dark ride that never should have been completely replaced, only plussed.
Just needs to be modernized, IMHO.:shrug: Not TOTALLY revamped, but just brought up to speed.No i have, and the only reason I say he is "imparactical" (probably not the best choice of words for what I meant) is because dreamfinder is a little to retro for my taste. Im not saying the "idea" of a character like dreamfinder is a bad idea, Im saying the actual character from the old attraction would not work. In my eyes some are just clouded by nostalgia. Dont get me wrong him and figment were a dynamic duo, much better than Channing and Figment, but the 80's early 90's dreamfinder either has to be updated or created into a character, different, but much like himself.
*siiiiiigh*The companys wants to, but it`s a complicated process. No idea if he`d be `updated` but he would be more than a cartoon on a screen. Glendale and TDO know how lavish the original ride was and what they need to do to top it, and they also know this would be the last chance after 1999 and 2002.
What is with people and that?!:lookaroun:lol: I loved the pair of them.:lol:Supposedly. And I'll agree with you, I always like the original Figment, but Dreamfinder made me feel a little creepy inside.
That might be a bit too much, but yeah, I have that too.Everything that I have heard about the JII refurb points to the theater being demolished to make way for more ride space :shrug:
Disney would be foolish to remove the 3D theater. We're on the verge of a renaissance for the format (or at least that's the industry's intention), and these films are going to be more popular than ever. As old as 3D is, a well done show can still bring in huge crowds and the big theater definitely has the room to support them too. Would be such an odd move to get rid of it unless they planned on rebuilding somewhere else.
