Walt Disney World 1986 Figment's Imagination Ride.mpg

This was home video footage of Figment's Imagination Ride in Walt Disney World Epcot Center, in 1986. The ride is no longer in operation, so this is really neat to see! Fun note - the 3-part episode of South Park entitled "Imaginationland" is based in part upon this ride! See if you can note the similarities!

Sorry about the video quality - this is a 1986 home movie, with an old school VHS camera.

Thank you - we had a wonderful time riding it back in 1986. I haven't seen the new version - is it pretty cool?

Thanks for the upload, ive been on this ride twice, but it was so long ago i couldnt really remember it other than that i really loved it and bought a Figment cuddly toy the first time i went on it- we dont have Figment in England so i didnt even know who he was

I remember just when I got to visit Walt Disney World for the first time during 2000. At the time, I was 9, and due to my parents being Disney fans and antique shop owners, the pictures from this ride in some of the WDW related books made me really fascinated.

Then by the time I actually got there, I missed the closing down of the ride by a week, and had to see the lameness of the Eric Idle version.

Thank you for posting this.

@danjuan21 Ummmm..... Sorry to break it to you man.  But Disney completly ruined to pavilion. If your heading back to EPCOT soon, if you wanna risk losing a few point from your I.Q. The new version( Journey into Imagination: with Figment) is very inimaginative, cheap, and half- baked of what was once a great attraction. So if you would like to experiecne it in person. Be my Guest. P.S. If you've already seen the attraction, disregard everything i've said.

@hididdleydee I believe that it helps to define how science connects to helping the imagination and vice versa. I was a young kid when they killed this ride and replaced it (to be frank, this is much better really..). From what I understand, the Dreamfinder is to help people learn, and Figment is there to be playful. E.P.C.O.T. , or Epcot as it is called now, is a whole theme park dedicated to learning and different ways of doing so. Futureworld is full of things to learn about!
