The Journey Into Imagination pavilion features three attractions, Journey
Into Imagination with Figment, The Image Works, and The Magic Eye Theater. Just outside
the pavilion, you will find the famous "jumping fountains" of Epcot,
guaranteed to delight guests of all ages. This is a great spot to let kids
run off some energy and cool down.
Journey Into Imagination with Figment
Board a carriage and take off on a madcap musical adventure with your host
Dr. Nigel Channing. Travel through Dr. Channing's Sensory Labs and learn how
the five senses (sound, sight, smell, touch, and taste) help capture the
imagination. But watch out, that lovable, mischief maker Figment is on the
loose!
This ride has been thru
three separate incarnations. The latest revamp previewed June 1, 2002
in hopes of winning back audiences who loved the adorable Figment - removed
for the most part from the 2nd incarnation of the ride. This ride, while fun
for some, lacks the depth and charm of the original, leading many guests to
walk away scratching their heads.
The Image Works:
A creative playground.
Details
on the Former Ride:
With this ride now revamped, our archive clips are even more special.
Combined, we have captured on video most of the ride. Long live the
Dreamfinder and Figment.
A wondrous ride
through the magical world of ideas. Ride with The Dreamfinder and lovable
Figment through an amusing and entertaining look at how the mind and
Imagination works. Watch out... your picture is taken at one point in this
ride for all to see on a video screen later. Look for the Dreamfinder (with
a motion picture camera and what appears to be a strobe light flashing) to
be tipped off to the picture being snapped.

Theater. December 6, 2015 will be the last operating day for the film.
