hey dragon1227 did u know that the orginal ride opened in 1983 on march 5th which makes figment 28 years old

[Dragonrider1227]

@MrChaos010 no, I didn't. That's cool to know

[MrChaos010]

hey Dragonrider1227 have u ever riden this version before if so what was it like

cause i've only been on the current version. oh and figment rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dragonrider1227]

@MrChaos010 The only time I rode it was back in 1990. I was six back then and don't remember it very well but I remember loving it. It was easily my favorite ride in EPCOT. I fondly remember the old imageworks as well. Loved it! I've often said I could take or leave the ride as it is now but I really really really miss the old imageworks D:

It just blows my mind that they took out such a beautiful attraction and replaced it with a boring unimaginative ride through. But enough people complained,

That they decided to bring Figment back. But that's not enough. The management needs to understand that they f$&@ed up and bring back this wonderful attraction like they did EO. Yes I am 14. But im a huge Disney fan and I know quality when I see it. So to all who wants to see this attraction back. Write, e-mail, phone, do anything to

This looks like it was a wonderful ride. Pretty to look at and I really like the theme music.

Too bad the new one is so bland. For a ride about imagination, it's not very imaginative. So much wasted showroom space...

@96gamerdude probabply need what happened at the tiki room to get any results.

@cancerman50, @MrChaos010 -- If they did take out Captain EO/HISTA and put in a movie of the original ride, they could even do so and add 3D effects so as to utilize all the features built in to the theater. At least it would mean seeing the original ride again. Disney's already doing it with their feature films so why not a mere film of a beloved attraction?

@brb1006 Good point!

[brb1006]

@whitewolf1310 How about Spike from My Little Pony?

[MrChaos010]

@cancerman50 there is only one way they could put it with out changing anything about the pavillion is to remove captain eo or what ever is in there right now and then put the idea i talked about

[MrChaos010]

@Dragonrider1227 well u know it's still up there just it's not operational when i went to epcot for my senior trip me and two of my teachers went up there to see what was up there and one of my teachers siad they've been on the oringinal and been to the oringinal imageworks

[CrazyCatLover45]

Wow... I just watched this for the first time and was completely blown away. Why did they change this attraction? This makes me so sad... I never got to ride this version and I am envious of those that did. If any Imagineers read this, please attempt to bring this back... :(

[cancerman50]

@MrChaos010 No, Mr.Chaos010 mentioned an additional theater and the movie shown there would show maybe this vid of what the orignal ride was like. It wouldn't be a remodel. It would be an addition. They were able to add Soaring without tearing down The Land. And a movie theater is simpiler then a ride.

[MrChaos010]

@cancerman50 i agree but on problem iread online that if they change anything about the imagination pavillion again that they would tear it down

[whitewolf1310]

I think whoever designed Spyro the dragon got there ideas from Figment here. In fact someone should do a crossover with both of them. They're so cute!
