You can even turn figment into a muppet so he is kept in the ride.

Or for that matter, they could use the Sounds Dangerous theater or the AIE in DHS for said Star Wars 3D film.

1. This is the value engineered show that was going to go in DLP in their 3D space. If it does come expect it to go where Muppets currently is.
2. Obviously but you failed to mention that it has to go through "The Office where 1000 Bonus' Shine" before it gets its way into a WDW park.

1)Disney will reshoot MuppetVision 3D and replace Waldo with Figment
2)Disney will convert to convert to convention space.
3)Disney will completely gut the space and replace with nothing.
It'll be one of the above.

There has to be more to the plan than the 2 or 3 option. True EO is going bye bye but if 2 or 3 is all that happens then its the end of Epcot, for me anyway. Prices keep skyrocketing yet they keep taking away, no more large pavilions sitting there empty or convention space its getting ridiculous. With Epcot now under Magnums helm, Im hoping theres got to be something more in the works for that location. Though it will prob take them years to do it.

If it's not #1 (not that it's my first choice, but of the three listed it's the only worthwhile one), I am quite certain I will not return to EPCOT for a very, very long time, if ever.
#2 and #3 are depressing
and maddening and will end up causing much of this >

Doesn't matter it comes through "The Office where 1000 Bonus' Shine", cheaper to run with no show than place a 3D show that requires maintenance...I've given up all hope for WDW.

Then I hope they have another public outcry to deal with like the last time they tried taking figment away. I agree though Ill give up too if the whole thing just gets shuttered with no plan.

NO FREAKING WAY. Bring back Figment and Dreamfinder - which are original Disney characters, not overpriced unnecessary acquisitions - and replace EO with something new, original and classic Disney.

Figment deserves better.

Yeah I'd rather they buried Figment in a grave near the other tombstones than turn him into a Muppet.

Trackless ride system. That is the answer to making IMAGE better.

Well, if Figment was an actual being, I might agree, but just as a reality check he was two things. A hand puppet or a auto-animatronic character.
Fact to deal with...most of today's WDW visitor don't have a clue where Figment originated or why. (OK, maybe Figment of Imagination kind of defines him) That said, when he was separated from the Dreamfinder when they changed over the pavilion, Figment died for most people. It's just us, obsessive compulsive people that are still hanging on to what we remember as a wonderfully, pleasant memory. I would be totally surprised if he doesn't completely disappear just as soon as they close the pavilion.
I hope that they can find something really good to to replace them, but, I am willing to bet that we have seen the absolute last of Dreamfinder or Figment! This isn't 1999. The loud roar to keep him, especially with the personality they gave him in the reincarnation, no longer exists.

I bet MuppetVision leaves and MILF comes in as part of the Monsters Inc mini-land. At least the sounds like it makes sense.

My ongoing suggestion would be even simpler than that... Repurpose the current Streets of America (NY & San Fran facades) to Monstroplis, which be cheap and easy -- just switching the cardboard cutouts to a different look. Then they can use the (empty) Premiere Theater to house MILF. Mama Melrose becomes Harry Housen's serving sushi (and maybe other Asian food). The HISTK play area can either be kept/re-themed or that space can be used for a Monsters attraction. Since the SoA will still have the same basic layout, they can still use it for the Osborne Lights.
Muppets is left untouched. Perhaps re-theming Pizza Planet to something actually Muppets like a Swedish Chef restaurant.
This plan is simply, affordable, minimally disruptive to the park and could be up and running quickly. It brings in a big franchise to DHS while still leaving land for Cars/Star Wars/other developments. So, of course, I don't think it is even being considered by TDO.

^^ Sorry, I was thinking about DCA and got distracted, so I didn't mention that!

TDO is considering a modest retheme of a counter service restaurant and new restrooms where guests can show off the color of their light sabers. Mace Windu's (Samuel L. Jackson's) is purple.

In a way Figment is already buried. Without Dreamfinder, he is literally just a figment!

I wonder if there will be an uproar in here if MILF moves to the Studios.

He was buried in the cemetery out at the park entrance.
