The playful purple dragon who captured millions of hearts at Walt Disney World Resort returns to Epcot in June to once again demonstrate the power of imagination.
Journey Into Imagination with Figment invites guests to an open house at the Imagination Institute led by Dr. Nigel Channing, who plans to show how the five senses can influence a persons imagination.
Future World guests traveling through the colorful, energetic attraction stop for Dr. Channings demonstrations in laboratories to discover how the human senses are being studied to help capture and control the imagination. The stops are interrupted, however, by the free-thinking Figment, a mischievous dragon who tries to show the ever-practical Dr. Channing and his guests that the imagination works best, not when its controlled, but rather, when its set free.
<b>Guests will encounter stimulating experiences:</B>
In the sight laboratory, Figment has fun with a vision chart to prove that there is more to the imagination than meets the eye!
Sniff, sniff Whats that aroma in the smell laboratory?
In the sound laboratory, guests enjoy a symphony of delightful melodies as Figment shows how thoughts can appear by way of the ear.
The fun continues when guests are invited into Figments house, which is upside-down to show how imagination can really come home when you look at things from a new perspective. By the end, his impish antics convince Dr. Channing how much fun a free imagination can be.
The return of Figment adds another level of excitement to this re-energized attraction, said David Mumford, show designer for Walt Disney Imagineering. Journey Into Imagination with Figment is bright and fun and should appeal to guests of all ages.
The revamped attraction also heralds the return of One Little Spark, an uplifting song written by legendary Disney composers Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman for the attractions original opening in March 1983. Comic actor Eric Idle also returns as Dr. Nigel Channing, a role he originated in the adjacent Honey, I Shrunk the Audience 3-D attraction at Epcot.
Journey Into Imagination with Figment is part of the Imagination! pavilion presented by Kodak at Epcot.
