During the 'Undiscovered Disneyland' presentation at the 2013 D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Tony Baxter and Josh Shipley were on hand to present their recreated version of Journey Into Imagination, the classic Epcot Center attraction starring the Dreamfinder and his popular, purple creation, Figment. Using old video footage, still pictures, and concept art, Journey Into Imagination was completely recreated in its entirety with the full ride soundtrack for the D23 audience to enjoy.

When Imagination opened in 1983, everything was still new, the park was empty and it was open until midnight. Everything was super new and gleaming and full of blistering optimism and inspiration and sheer joy! Nothing sounded or looked run down and you walked out with your mind racing with all the possibilities of what could be accomplished with inspiration and technology!

@Dragonrider1227 11 лет назад

Same here. I was six. A ride about energy and a ride about automobiles meant nothing to me. But a ride about a magic man with a dragon talking about the imagination? My six year old mind could totally get behind that.

I love Figment and Dreamfinder. This brought happy tears to my eyes! So many wonderful memories of my all time favorite attraction.

@grizzabella79 7 лет назад

Didn't know about this! Hopefully this means Disney knows how much people loved this timeless ride and will think about bringing it back! My favorite as a child. So beautiful and inspiring!

@kirawedderburn 2 года назад

I truly miss this version of the ride. It’s not the same without Dreamfinder.

@rebelrangerharv5191 6 лет назад

Ok, so, who wants Disney to bring this back with one added feature. AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES!! It would be great to see you grab some "imaginitive glasses" that you can take on and off to see basically a nothingness BUT then see the ride with a bunch of cool stuff

@girlykyuu1185 Год назад

That sounds horrible, i want animatronics not vr shit.

@wdwman 11 лет назад

I have to admit I was never a huge fan in my teen years, but seeing this convinces me they should just restore this ride to the original version. It would be a great addition to Epcot!

"What about science... science... science..." RIP Chuck McCann - the original Dreamfinder!

@warriorseamonkey1693 6 лет назад

Who voiced Dreamfinders singing? It wasn’t chuck mccan, right

@jzerony 6 лет назад

Disneylandisyourland yes, that was Chuck McCann, and I believe Figment was voiced by Billy Barty! There were a few different revamped versions of this ride, one where Dreamfinder was voiced by Monty Python’s Eric Idle, but to me nothing beats the original....

@randallheisey3698 6 лет назад

Actually Chuck McCann voiced Figment. The Dreamfinder was voiced by the late Billy Barty, who was perhaps, the most famous dwarf actor of the 20th century.

@jzerony 6 лет назад

Randall Heisey ummmmmm...... no....... but if you’re referring to “alternative facts” maybe so!

@LibraryAngel 3 года назад

Ron Schneider voiced Dreamfinder and Billy Barty voiced Figment! They were a dynamic duo - making this timeless ride live on = THANK YOU D23

@CeramicDalmatian 11 лет назад

During the introduction of this, Tony Baxter said, quote: "These characters will grow on you from this, maybe from what happens later...uh...won't go there." then briefly can be seen rubbing his head as though he said something he should't have. Just an observation.

Maybe one of the dislikers is Michael Eisner

@TCasey 5 лет назад

@@southparkboyproductions6040 TBH Eisner was supposedly a big fan of the original ride and was extremely unhappy with the reimagining of the ride (to fit the HISTA Imagination Institute.) After he complained about the new ride, with the lack of Figment and the classic "One Little Spark" song not being featured, he demanded their return to the ride.

@southparkboyproductions6040 5 лет назад

I was just joking. I know the ride had a lot of technical difficulties during its run. But, this made the Eisner hate even worse. I think the fans should be thankful that Eisner hated the new ride!

@donut5818 6 лет назад

@edcampbell2419 7 лет назад

I know the ride was long and complicated, but it told a great story - kind of Walt's story in a revised concept. The edited, shorter revision was hideous and incoherent - here are 2 VERY iconic Disney created characters that were just tossed aside - if this would have been "Imagination Mountain" it would still be there instead of inside an ugly 1980's office building. With today's technology I can't imagine why this can't come back to the parks and then Disney could create movies and marketing around the characters. This was truly Disney at it's glory in the 80's - so sad this just went to hell...now we get Guardians of the Galaxy overlay crap rides and second hand Marvel characters...sad...

@megelizabeth9492 6 лет назад

I'd say put the current ride out of it's misery, and give us a Dreamfinder and Figment 4D show we all deserve.

@southparkboyproductions6040 5 лет назад

I was thinking how this ride should return. Since we still won’t have the turntable, that same scene (where you meet Dreamfinder and Figment on the airship) should be in a brand new preshow. This will lead to the loading area/the dream port as a way of continuing the story. The first scene would be the work of art scene. Then, we head to the large room with the white sculptures/the sound lab. Then the literature scene/the sight lab. Then the performance scene/smell lab. Then the science and technology room/the upside down house. Then the finale/the current’s finale. But keep the roomful of figments. Then to the unloading area. Then walk to the down stars imageworks were replicas of some of the original imageworks games will be at(including the rainbow corridor!). BAM! You got a nice return of the ride!!

@Evilgidgit4Ever 7 лет назад

And they threw this out because!?

@ZiddersRooFurry 7 лет назад

The ride was overly complicated and constantly broke down. It cost them a ton of money and never worked right. Eventually large parts of it needed to be removed due to the complexity of it all. It was a case of great form, bad function.

@A_A610 7 лет назад

In the 90s, digital cameras were on the rise. As a result, Kodak (the ride's sponsor) was going downhill fast. Since the company was under contractual obligation to fund a refurbishment, they had very little cash to fork over to Disney for a full refurbishment. As a result, they requested a new version that would cut down sponsorship costs by removing parts of the attraction that were difficult (and expensive) to maintain. Sadly, the versions that came after became valuable lessons for Kodak and Disney that cutting corners can cost a lot more than you may think.

@rebelrangerharv5191 6 лет назад

Evilgidgit4Ever if your friends with any big powerful person tell them to start a petition to get Disney to bring back journey into Imagination. Anyone, RU-vidrs streamers. Even Trump, have him tell Disney he will start WWIII if they don't bring it back.

@corbindavenport 6 лет назад

No, Zidders is right. If you go watch MartinsVids' tribute to Journey Into Imagination (which I highly recommend), he goes into detail about this. The big circle section in the beginning, where the cars loop around the Dreamfinder's blimp, constantly caused sync issues with the cars. When they converted the old ride into Journey Into Your Imagination (which opened in 1999), they took that section.

@Jess-ko1ph 6 лет назад

Evilgidgit4Ever they ( Michael Eisner) thought it was It was out dated and asked for it to be redone at the time Kodak was its sponsor. And they didn't have the money to redo it but they gave him a small portion so that's why we got the crappy version now well at first it was crappier than the one we have now the reason that it was changed again because of fans who disproved of the remake.

@danwilliams1989 3 года назад

I’d like to see them bring back Journey into Imagination. If it can’t return in ride form, it could make a good 3D movie ala Mickey’s PhilharMagic.

@philipdefibaugh7127 6 лет назад

Am I the only one who likes Epcot Center better than the Magic Kingdom. I rode this back in the Summer of 1985 a year before the Living Seas, although the golden coloring book for Epcot shows a scene from it.

@doctoradventure413 6 лет назад

Philip Defibaugh not in Epcot’s current state which has nothing to do with the original idea of teaching people how things work

Doctor Adventure true. Disney unfortunately is all about money. Shame.....

@phillanes6974 6 лет назад

@OtakuKent 5 лет назад

Honestly with the technology they have today it wouldn’t be that hard to reimagine the original ride with better tech that wouldn’t break down as easily better synchronized music and animatronics and if they need a sponsor that can provide a vision for that with something similar that Kodak used to do I think Canon would probably be a good one

@TRON8882 11 лет назад

I never saw the newer versions of this w/out the Dreamfinder. I have to admit it. I have always liked Figment more then Mickey Mouse. I heard the newer generations of Figment make him a brat, while the original was more innocent. My all time wish would for this original ride be on the West Coast. Does anyone remember Westcot?

@rebelrangerharv5191 6 лет назад

TRON8882 the original figment was the best

@Jess-ko1ph 6 лет назад

Yup.

@lonesquiff6551 5 лет назад

The newer iterations of Figment lack the child-like innocence of the original. They changed his attitude/personality into much more of a mischievous troublemaker.

I was here in 87 I was 9 years old just hearing the music to this ride makes me tear up it was wonderful. but something special that a lot of people forgot about this ride is when it opened in 1985 the first people to ride this was President Ronald Reagan and his family and all of his staff with mickey mouse and the gang. yes the ride was that good. I value Walt Disney you can tell that he loves people and children I hope to go again this year in April Glad you were their in 88 to see this Wonderful Ride.

@OldMovieRob 5 лет назад

If this was a ride that made mechanical/break-down issues, couldn't they just have shut it down and re-engineered it? I guess I'm just pining for this original version which was so amazing, in an age where Epcot could use more inventive and original rides like this.

@attractionscentral489 Месяц назад

About 11 years to the day, and we still don’t have an update Journey into Imagination.

@tikirowboat 3 года назад

The death of this most wonderful attraction had to do with EPCOT's "sponsorship" program. Kodak was the sponsor for about 2 decades before digital media made it hard for Kodak to stay afloat. Sadly, Kodak couldn't afford to financially sponsor this ride. There was also a beautiful fountain sculpture outside the pavilion that was simply beautiful. The "Imagination Fountains" ...also gone and replaced by very cheap looking pyramid-like sculptures. I think Disney should re-imagine this attraction and make something even better than the original without any sponsorship other than the visitors and contributions of Disney park enthusiasts.
