figment

[mouselover93]

i dont want to feel like an oddball ( because my family and friends think i am ) but does anybody else absoluely adore jiyi with figment. my one friend ( who is going to disney with me in december ) finds it weird that i mainly love figment. problay because i love intense rides. so iwas just wondering, does anybody else have to do jiyi with figment? and come on who doesnt love that little purple guy

I do love Figment, but I also think that over the years the ride has gone from good, to awful, to sightly better than awful. They attempted to "update" the ride, and it was a complete disaster!! Anyway, I love Figment and the ride is always a must see for us! Besides, it never has a line!!
I have heard it rumored that it is going to be "re-furbished" again, I don't know into what...

I wouldn't say I adore him but I like him alot. We never miss the ride

I love Figment too and while I agree the ride used to be better, I would hate to ever see it go! My DD and I LOVE the Imagination song too and cant help but sing along when on the ride and then thru out the day! Not only is Figment cute and silly but hes truly an "inspiration"

We always go on the ride when we go to EPCOT! My son enjoys figment, after the first time he rode it, we were walking through the store area, and he had to have a Figment doll. That night in the hotel he would stuff figment up here shirt and then start walking around the room asking us where figment went, then he would reach down his shirt and pull up just figment's head above his collar and start laughing saying "I found him." The pictures are so cute.

My girls absolutely adore Figment! Our trips would not be the same without him.

I love Figment, but it's hard to get excited about the current ride after experiencing the original.

I'm a big Figment fan dating back to the original ride in 1983. I ride the current attraction just because it has a little Figment in the ride of course it's a shadow of it's former self.

[Von-Drake]

Got to agree the original ride was much better, but still like what we got and at least it has figment.

I have very fond memories for my oldest son, not yet 2 at the time, interacting with Figment AND DREAMFINDER outside of the ride.

Even with the changes, I still enjoy the ride and was delighted when they brought Figment back. I only wish they would have brought back Dreamfinder as well.

Actually, instead of just being associated with Journey Into Your Imagination, I wish they'd make Figment (and Dreamfinder) the ambassador to all of Epcot.

lol, its funny, I was just talking w/ DBF last weekend about Disney (of course) and Figment. My DFather (who has passed away) brought my family when I was about 7 y/o. I still remember that trip. It was my 1st trip to the world, and it was one of the only rides my dad could go on because of his heart issues. And I remeber my dad and me sitting together on that ride and laughing and loving every minute of it (The original ride). From that point on it is one of my fundest memories of me and my dad (we were very close), and I fell in love w/ Figment. There was always just something about him that I loved, maybe cause hes cute and purple! lol.

You know... Ive said the same thing myself and have always kind of thought of Figment that way.

And to the PP- what a sweet memory to have of your Dad and how great is it to be able to relive that memory and feeling every time you ride

[OhToodles!]

We love Figment too. It's definitely a MUST ride.

Last year we got the pleasure of catching him outside and had our picture taken with him.

I love Figment. I have a figment hand puppet that I will not let my children play with. I just wish they would return the ride back to what it was originally. Lets face it their improvements haven't been great.

Yep. Me too. As I sit here typing this, I have a figment figurine holding the EPCOT golf ball, a rubber figment mouse pad (really cool by the way) that I use as a coaster (mouse pads annoy me) and a small figment snow globe here on my desk.

I love Figment and that song can stick with you forever! My kids thought I was crazy last trip because Figment wasn't out when we came off the ride. I told them before we left Epcot that day, I WAS going to get my picture with Figment. Just something about him. You gotta love him.

p.s. I DID GET MY PIC

[Mickey91]

We love Figment! The original ride was even better than the one there now!

[Tink#64]

Oh we just love JIYI w/ Figment! It's a must do for us (several times!) each trip. DS's have plush Figments & I have a Figment antenna topper! It's just so silly & fun!

Figment and the Dreamfinder were my favorites as a kid. And am I just imagining things... or was there a much bigger "imagination play ground" when you got off the ride than there is now. The rest of my family doesnt remember or believe me... but I swear you would get off the ride and there was a huge area where you could jump on colored lights and it would play music.. or "color/paint" pictures on a computer ... (Mind you this was the early to mid 80's so coloring on computers was completely high tech to me.) Someone please tell me... Am I imagining it? Did it exist? Or was this somewhere else and my 10 year old brain somehow smooshed it from one area in the WORLD into JIYI becuase I loved the ride and Figment so much?
