So, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened in Epcot about a month ago, which means more merch.

As well as a plethora of Guardians merch, there's just as much specifically for the Nova Corps - including their information on threats to the universe.

Cue the Loki merch!

Nova Corps Data File Mystery Pin Box

First up is a blind box with 2 pins inside, featuring the data file and threat level of Hela, Taskmaster, Ronan, Red Skull, Thanos, or Loki.

Data Cards

Available for the same villains previously mentioned, and apparently they can interact with the ride's queue? (IDK how, I'm British and poor)

There's also a t-shirt with Thanos, Loki, Ronan, and the Taskmaster data files down the left side of the front.

And a kid-sized t-shirt of just Loki's data file.

Sculpted Pens

2 pens of the sceptres used by Loki and Eson, just plain black ink.

Loki Goblet

A ceramic bowl/cup based on Loki's armour, held aloft by the shape of his iconic horned helmet. Looks better in person imo.

Loki's Helmet

Plastic replica of Loki's helmet in Ragnarok. Horns seem to be removable for easier transportation.

Loki's Sceptre with Mind Stone

Plastic replica that glows when the mind stone is inside a compartment in the staff:

ANY of the Infinity Stones can be placed inside any of the other vessels, which each come with their assigned stone.

Different stones cause different light effects BUT I'm not sure about the sceptre as it's colour is artificially changed blue anyway...

The Infinity Stones can also be bought as a separate set if you don't want to buy every artifact.

Or, all stones come with either of the gauntlets:

Here’s how Figment can still win | updating the attraction

I envy those who got to experience the ride in its original form with dream finder and all, I really do. I remember being a kid In the early 2000s and my grandpa was excited to take us on it as it was his favorite ride, only to find it completely different. However, what you might not expect me to say is that I don’t think the current iteration of journey into imagination is bad! Do I think it lives up to the original? No, but Dr.Channing is decent and the concept is quite cute.

The problem is this iteration is a clear patch job done nearly 20 years ago and they’ve let it sit ever since. This sucks. Especially considering Disney and Epcot clearly realize how much pull Figment has as a character, people adore this purple dragon years after his debut (remember the popcorn bucket?). They’ll slap him on anything and everything for festivals… but his ride? Actual non festival attraction related merch? You get a shirt or two if you’re lucky! When I went recently there was a single shelf reserved for figment related items. A single shelf in a decently sized gift shop that was mainly filled with the same Toy Story summer line they overestimated in popularity. (I’ve never seen anyone buy or have something from this line). The state it’s in is sad, especially considering Disney pulls on figments popularity! He’s getting a meet and greet again so can we finally update the attraction! … I’ve also heard rumor of the rainbow tunnel returning….

My solutions-

As much as I wish it could, I don’t know if we’ll get the dream finder version of the ride back, but here’s my idea on how to update the ride with the storyline we do have. It’s a cute concept but they’re not doing it to the best it can be.

1. Make it longer! To say they shortened journey into imagination is a understatement, I have no idea what they’re using half of the building for. Make it longer- maybe do go into the smell and taste labs. Make some more elaborate scenes- show that chaos figment has brought to the institue! One of the best gags is in the queue and the poor secretary of Dr.Channing answering the phone every few seconds - give me that energy! Give me… imagination running wild! That’s literally the storyline with figment but he feels so… constrained? Lack of space as it’s so short.

2. 2D figment. I beg of you. I know when the ride was redone 3D animation was new and all the rage but… I’m sorry 3D figment is terrifying and super dated. Soft, cuddly and cute 2D figment is timeless. It wouldn’t be that hard to go over the same scenes just with a drawn model instead, this is a quick fix to Rodger rabbit it.

3. More characters. I’m not even asking for animatronics but you need to give us something more. Again, that secretary is just a gag but its such a good show of story we don’t get on the actual attraction. A fun idea you could do is have “Dean Finder” come out and be the only one to be able to calm figment down/understand him? Sort of nod to the OG besides just a door THEN they open Channings mind to imagination as something to be free. This equally lengthens the attraction.

4. It just makes me sad as they have a really good concept here and ERIC FLIPPING IDLE but don’t utilize such a great comedic actor to the potential I know they could have. Another thing I’d request is the return of a good imageworks that’s not 99% photo opportunities with random characters not seen anywhere else. Additionally if you don’t want to make a lot of merch for the ride that’s fine… make the gift shop smaller, which shouldn’t be a issue if you make the ride longer again.

It’s fascinating to me that Disney consistently lets such a beloved attraction down despite using it for merch and festivals. It’s also fascinating that despite getting a whole makeover the park is leaning into a retro futurism feel and a “Epcot center” vibe (this is a good thing). But again ignores this ride- It’d be costly, sure, what isn’t, but I think it’d be worth giving just a bit of attention.

The Disney100 mural in Epcot features plenty of Disney characters mingling with the guests in the park! Including Hiro and Baymax flying over Spaceship Earth, Dreamfinder and Figment (yes, I cried seeing Dreamfinder there), and Mr. Toad who has discovered Test Track. (I’m sure that will end just perfectly fine, right? 🙃)

Extinct Disney Parks and Attractions tournament round 4: Bracket AB

Reminder, you don't have had to experience any of the attractions/experiences to vote! Just read in the info and/or watch the vid,then vote for which you wish you would have experienced more/which sounds cooler!

Videos and propaganda/info dumping under cut

Great Movie Ride: Hollywood Studios/MGM Studios (1989-2017)

Propaganda:

"This ride was SO fun! It was such a great dark ride; all the sets were so detailed and evocative of their movies, especially Alien. When that xenomorph came down, I was always startled, even as an adult, and it flat-out scared me as a kid. Spooky! And the little plot the ride had with the ride being hijacked by a gangster or a western outlaw who then fell victim to their own greed was absolutely delightful. It was such a great show of sets and animatronics, and I miss it so much."

"I genuinely loved this attraction as a weird autistic kid who couldn't really do anything else in Hollywood Studios and I'm really sad to learn that it's gone. I loved the atmosphere and the slow-moving ride vehicles and from what I understand it took a lot of skill to be a host on that ride."

"The animatronics were great for their times. I loved the two different versions of the ride (gangster/Wild West). The cast members were so much fun during the ride. A great tribute to great movies. The rotating props in the line queue was neat too."

"The best 22 minutes in AC on a hot Floridian day that will forever be missed."

"IT WAS SO IMMERSIVE!!! And the guides were apart of the ride and there were 2 different path at one point, the Western or Gangster, and hiding in the animatronics would be a real person and they would take over the ride from the host, then in a later scene in Indiana Jones part, the host would trick them into a "curse" and take the ride back! (just watch the video xD)THEN you went through freaking Oz! There was no ride like it before or after and I will never get over them getting rid of it!"

youtube

Journey Into Imagination: Epcot (1983-1998)

Propaganda:

"This is the way. Anyone else is just selling something."
