sometimes it feels like this is the ultimate tease from Disney, they've been referencing the original attraction for over 20 years now and nothing is happening
I get my hopes up every D23, only for nothing to be announced!
@@FM7Studios every D23, Dreamfinder is sitting in a waiting room with the People Mover cars just waiting for something to happen
I feel like that's sadly just par for the course now for imagineering unfortunately...
Nostalgia sells and is cheap to mass produce. Actually investing in an attraction in a park that has become such a misguided corpse of its former self is not so cheap. In other words it’s never going to happen.
@@Horizons1 meanwhile Universal always does something big for nostalgic attractions
I've always wanted the ORIGINAL Journey Into Imagination to come back to EPCOT. It hurt my gut more knowing that Dreamfinder was removed and the ride itself disappeared. As someone who has never been to EPCOT nor had the chance to experience the original attraction, but I still hope to one day, we get to see that miracle. Great work on this video!
@@SparkOfImagination Thank you so much!
the last scene after the wall explodes and there’s figments everywhere feels like the imagineers saying “you thought there wasn’t enough figment before well here” lol
There's more. The TV also shows animations from the Science scene from JII. The bird in a cage in the Sight Lab was from JIYI. The video screens with Dr Channing at the beginning and the "blast" at the end of the ride functioned as the brain scanners from the end of JIYI. The Figment AA's we see until the final scene were actually all used in the original attraction, not just the Space themed one. These guys were reprogrammed for budget reasons.
Thank you for this, it’s so well researched and presented.
Thank you so much!
I really wish that I could go to an alternate timeline where the original version of Journey to Imagination attraction was never torn down from EPCOT.
It absolutely would have been my favorite attraction, had it survived into the 21st century, and also would have absolutely still been considered an irreplaceable classic (much like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and Spaceship Earth) by today's standards. I never understood why Michael Eisner greenlit Journey Into Your Imagination as a replacement.
I just wish Disney would pull an Enchanted Tiki Room and restore the original attraction to its former glory, adding some new effects in addition to keeping all the old animatronics and physical set pieces intact. Wouldn't it be cool if the Dreamport section had more amazing illusions with some projection mapping effects and whatnot?
Plus, I prefer Billy Barty's final rendition of "One Little Spark" at the end of the attraction as opposed to Dave Goelz's rendition.
In summary, I want to go on adventure through the decadent and intricate dimensions of imagination, not experience a Looney Tunes cartoon in dark ride form.
The rainbow tunnel in the old imageworks will always be iconic!
Absolutely!
even Michael Jackson made it iconic!
iirc, the mural at the bottom of the escalator to imageworks was installed after it had closed, and was put there as a joke by a group of CMs. it even says "merchandise your imagination"
That’s pretty funny!
🎵We all have sparks, imagination, that's how our minds create creation. Right at the start of everything that's new, one little spark lights up for you.🎵 I hope Disney brings back this version. That would truly make me want to go to Epcot. Fm7, you knock it out of the park everytime. I would love a video about Mine Train.
I’ll look into a mine train video!
6:49 There are also some 2D animated segments from the "Science" portion of the actual Journey into Imagination attraction included on Figment's TV, as well.
You should cover Disney park lost media.
@@StonePac Great suggestion!
It feels fitting @@FM7Studios❤
There is a Figment animatronic inside Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout queue. He’s kinda hard to find but he’s there looking from above inside a display case.
I have to think Disney lost far far more money by destroying the original than they saved.
It would have been cheaper to refurbish the original, not take it out.
Look what they did to my boy
I love this video
@@DWCTM Thank you so much!
@@FM7Studios You're welcome! I learned more about the old ride from this video!
@@DWCTM I’m glad you did!
I am not sure of what stand of the Image Works today, but the most _recent_ update i've seen was back from 2018. The Rainbow Corridor was completely gutted.
The only thing the could Save Figment is if he has own Movie.
I believe that the figment animatronic near the moon projection is not the original. It is a replica made to look like the original. Im pretty sure the original is either archived or owned by a private collector
Question 🙋♀️ how many years it took to build Disney’s California Adventure since construction 🚧 of the park began in January of 1998 and was completed ✔️ in early 2001, so was it 2 and a half years to build?
So it is a real shame that disney a MEGA corporation that has untold amounts of money will dump their best and brightest attractions over seas, because they don't have to pay for them. But if they can't find a sponsor for a ride they decide that is more cost efficient to make a cheaper version of a ride. Good thing they lower costs at the gate to account for all the short..wait I'm being informed they DON'T DO THAT?
If I were giving disney a grade here I'd give them an D+ for still having a ride but doing nothing with it when they KNOW they would sell tickets and bring more people by putting more money into their rides.
Honestly gonna remake the ride
Remake it!
I just rode it yesterday...its OK. Not worth the 35 min queue time.
@@MK_1Ultra The original would be worth 35min! ;)
I never understood the whole sponsorship thing. Why would a company like Disney, that makes miliions and millions, need sponsors. Maintain your own damn rides.
