Imagination Pavilion News

[boilerbabe]

Okay ...
So they've removed ... Horizons , world of motion , Snow Whites adventures , Mr. Toad's Wild Ride , Dreamfinder , 2000 Leagues under the sea ... what else???
And they've changed ... Journey into the imagination (not for the better at all!!!! ... I miss those cool lights that you step on that made sounds!!), dumbo's ride, pirates, haunted mansion ugh ... I can't think ... I know there's more!! Most for the better ... but not Imagination!!!

New additions I really like: winnie the pooh (so stinkin' cute!!) Finding Nemo ride, Toy Story ... more??

What I hope they never touch!!!! Peter Pan!! Thunder Mountain, Mexico, the shooting arcade! LOL ... gosh - so many ... any others that they should NEVER replace or redo?????

I would like to add Carousel of Progress and Swiss Family Treehouse to the list of "I hope they never touch!"

A side note, Disneyland is adding a Disney Infinity exhibit to innoventions, so odds are good that somewhere in one (or more) of the parks there will be an addition. Probably to a low traffic pavilion that has no sponsors and could use the theme of imagination to sell a rip-off of a billion dollar toy/game franchise developed by a competing company.

Very frustrating to hear a lot of this news, if Disney keeps closing areas wouldn't the world showcase need to open earlier if you have extra magic hours in the morning you could be completely done before the world showcase even opens. Disney must come up with something to fill the park in the front, the new test track update is a bit of a joke it hasn't properly worked since opening and they just added a lot of neon. Disney better wake up if they are closing this pavilion!

I am still going with my old recommendation: Put a new version of Horizons into the Imagination show building, using the original Imagination track layout. For the die hard Figment fans, I would even be fine with Dreamfinder and Figment taking us on a tour of life on land, at sea, and in space. I am dreaming it. Now Disney do it!!!

At D23 today Bob Iger said, "I don't think Figment is going anywhere any time soon. I promise." This has two possibilities: one, that the imagination pavilion isn't going to be refurbished or changed like previously noted, or two, if there are some changes Figment will still have a roll in a possible revamped attraction.

Apparently Dreamfinder and Figment played major roles in D23 Expo today complete with a Meet N Greet. Does this mean they could be returning together after refurb???

[boilerbabe]

I sure hope so!!!

[Cardinals314]

There has been a lot of emphasis on Journey Into Imagination at D23. During the 'Undiscovered Disneyland' presentation, Tony Baxter and Josh Shipley were on hand to present their recreated version of Journey Into Imagination. There is a meet n greet with Dreamfinder. Also, the Walt Disney Parks pavilion at D23 is titled "Journey into Imagineering."

Very cool! I'm really glad to hear this!

[Wizzard419]

That sounds more like fan service than "new ride announcement", which might not be happening anytime soon since the old sponsor went under and no one is itching to take over for Kodak.

well we can always dream. Hopefully they do it.

I slightly disagree here. I think Carousel of Progress could use an update in the final scene, that's all. Just update it to the 21st century. That's all.

leblana, I agree with you! I just meant, I hope they never get rid of the attraction! But, an update in the final scene would be great!!!

Oh that I 100% agree, it's a classic, it would be so sad to see it go.

On a different note, I must confess, I can't even remember that last time I went in the Treehouse.

I highly recommend the Treehouse at night!!! The views are fantastic!!!

WHen I heard what Iger said, I flipped! my DW was laughing so hard that I was jumping around to the news that Figment was staying in some fashion. WHen I then found out Dreamfinder made an appearance I became bit more ecstatic and played the Imagination on my comp! Oh how I hope they revamp the attraction to include both of them again! They are like PB&J..Yeah A PB sandwich can be great by itself, but together, they can be magical!
