Let me get this straight, I said I was going to try to talk to a CM, possible an Imagineer if I'm lucky enough {Not gonna ask a bus driver, though the last guy was kind enough to put the heat on that one day it got cold}. They close Figment, they get a truckload of angry park gowers and Epcot will become a ghost town. Plain and simple. It'd be a nightmare for Disney company if they up and shuttered Imagination and Figment
Now; say they are closing for refurbishment -Just for the sake of debate- There are no defined dates given, just a simple "we're closing up the section at the end of the year for refurb needs" no reason why, so all we the parkgoers can do is speculate on what's really happening.
I mean, for all we know, there could might as well be a sinkhole under the ride that needs to be addressed.
But like I said, I'm going to wait until I can get full confirmation from a CM that works in the area {or even on the ride itself} before taking this thread at full strength truth.
That does not mean I wont be around, this thread is good disccussion
