And the ride on this will be 10xs better than the actual ride....

Ahhh, we like that ride. When my second son was younger we even bought him the Figment plush.

Nah. My family loves it.

Nah. My family loves it.

It could be much better though. I never got to see the original but wish I could have. I love figment but the ride needs improving.

Sure, but there are people who enjoy it now.

My oldest daughter got to wear the lab coat and glasses when she was younger. Plus, who doesn't like Eric Idle?

Every ride in that park needs an overhaul.

Love the Figment is everywhere - but how is it not in the the announced plan that they are going to fix Imagination!

Well, Stitch is everywhere too, yet the attraction is non existent for the most part.

I discovered it by accident last week, and it worked quite well - all the way from the park, back to my resort. It worked much better than the Wi-Fi at the resort!

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion here, but I can't stand the new character buses (all of them).

1.) The buses with recent IP makes me feel like I'm in a city being advertised too, which I get that's the point, but I go to the Disney bubble to avoid that kind of advertising.

2.) The 'big head' buses just look too gaudy. I think it would have been slightly more classy to have different buses with different color schemes to represent the characters, instead of a giant head on the side of the bus.

3.) My wife put her tinfoil hat on and said this is a good way to drive up sales of Disney transportation toys. I'm sure there are people that college those bus toys. If they decide to make toys for every single type of different bus...there's some money to be had.

4.) Just furthers the notion that IP has to be EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME on property.

Now get off my lawn!

Stitch is from a movie, though. Figment is only from the ride.

This is great news!!! Especially helpful to International visitors who often do not have a US Data plan while on vacation and rely on Disney WiFi to connect!

Yeah, you'd have loved it! The whole experience of the ride, and play areas, and meeting Dreamfinder walking around with Figment are some of my favorite childhood memories... I do still ride, but man, it's a pale version of it's former self.

 

[sachilles]

I don't disagree, but I think we all can agree that Stitch is a good IP worthy of an attraction far better than what currently exists.

Well, Stitch is everywhere too, yet the attraction is non existent for the most part.

But Stitch isn't used to represent the park the way Figment is being used to represent Epcot, or at least represent the Festivals in Epcot.
