  • Wow.
    While trying to fill time waiting for Food & Wine to start, we made the mistake of going on #JourneyIntoImagination and despite the short line, the ride was nuts-O.
    Malfunctions with audio animatronics, sound, and the evacuation procedures, just show the age and mis-care this ride receives. The original was a classic, but this is not excusable.

    I think it’s a sign that they need to restore this ride back to the original 1983-98 version of Journey into Imagination with Dreamfinder & Figment and the scenes chock full of detail and creativity. (With some technology and special effect upgrades of course)

      As would I...and you're right,some of those early-80's effects would need to be upgraded...but it's gone. Hopefully,the changes to Epcot over the next decade that I've been hearing about will include bulldozing this shell of its former self and replacing it with something worthy of the Imagineers.

      After seeing some videos of the original, I've been thinking the same, especially simce there's already comics about the original cast, Figment and the Dreamfinder.
      The new one gives off a lot of 1999 Inspector Gadget vibes. Getting kinda dated in that regard.

  • @wdgaminganddisneyhistory6024

    I wish I was born in the 80's so I could have experienced epcot in its "prime". They had Horizons, World of Motion, Spaceship Earth (they had WAY too many reincarnations of that, voice wise), Universe of Energy, and of course Journey into Imagination. Since all my favorites are gone, Figment has to be my favorite. It went from amazing, to crappy, to "okay I'll admit it's really outdated." The ride has a charm, although all the real charm was removed and the original track as well. I still love it, only because it has a timeless character, a great history, and it's one of the only surviving attractions left to have not left its show building and still have the same mascot for 3 INCARNATIONS. Yes, I agree, it needs updates bad, but if we can keep the same character, and possibly get the original version, then you have my blessing to restore it. If you keep it the way it is, please just fix it.
    That was sort of a rant but there's only so much I can say. Nothing can do the original ride justice, it was too timeless.
    As always, great content!

    They need to renovate this poor ride. The figment animatronics need it badly. When I went his jaw didn’t move at all and he just bounced. That can sometimes cause technical difficulties and an in-show exit. While that’s a problem I wouldn’t mind getting an in-show exit on this ride because figment is surprisingly one of my all time favorite Disney characters and the fact that in-show exits are possible on this ride I would be thrilled to evacuate on this ride!! Extra time in the land of my favorite boy.

    @spinningpeanut Před 4 lety +10

    God poor figment. The little cutie needs a better home. One without a stupid five senses theme and back to the pure childlike joy of imagination. If they want to keep things informative they can include folks who can't see pictures in their heads. Dreamfinder comes back, they do their intro scene, figment remarks that imagining new ideas is hard, dreamfinder says some people can't see pictures in their minds but they can see ideas just as well as you or I can. Let's deposit these new ideas with our new friends. Insert song and away we go.

      With Epcot phasing out the corporate sponsorship across all attractions, this falls on them to fix. The story of Kodak trying to pull out of their agreement, the lack of direction and the tourism drought of 2001 to 2004 is an interesting one that shaped the mess we have today.

    You may be asking: why does figment keep moving if the ride is not going anywhere? Simple, it’s the same reason John keeps moving when the fuse blows in act 2 of the carousel of progress: it’s to give the illusion of life. Suppose the lights didn’t go out for whatever reason and John didn’t move? would that look realistic? ‘Course not!
