You know who I haven’t inquired about in a while?
Nigel.
How’s my main man doing? Got any good book recs for us?
Lowkey still wanna see what he looks like at night with his lights haha
Nigel is currently reading DRACULA in honor of Halloween! He's also currently on the porch because one of the things being reno'd is the front yard! All the boring grass has been ripped out, and native plants are being put in all over - and ALL THE DECORATIONS WILL BE INCORPORATED! Nigel's going to have a little brick path leading up to his bench and my mom who is a painter is painting all the bricks with pretty designs. Nigel's Nessie dragon friend is going to have a little section with blue stones so she can be in 'water'. The welded metal raptor Baby Sue finally found her in her garage box HA is going to be leaping out of a section of really tall native grasses.
So needless to say Nigel is going to be reading his book in a VERY stylish location once it's done! Although I've already had to explain to multiple children in the neighborhood that Nigel WILL be back because they were Very Concerned (TM) that all the dragons were gone and would not be coming back including a toddler who began to cry when Nigel wasn't out i felt terrible and ran in and held Nigel up in the front porch window so the kid is fine now

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

I'm sure like everyone and their mother has already put this together, but Nigel is good at rapping bc he literally has to be. If he can't rhyme, then he can't make up a spell to cast. No wonder Jake couldn't out-rap him. Nigel's probably been practicing this shit since he was a kid.
Also, with this in mind, it makes the interaction so funny.
