So I was looking over Disney's new website drooling and dreaming for our upcoming trip next week. I came across the website for the Imagination pavilion here (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/epcot/attractions/image-works/). This is the official Disney World website and this is what is says:
ImageWorks – The Kodak "What If" Labs is an interactive play area where kids of all ages are invited to unlock the power of their own creativity in the Future World area at Epcot theme park.
ImageWorks – The Kodak "What If" Labs features a vast array of hands-on, sensory-themed activities and exhibits where you can exercise your imagination and explore your creative side in exciting exhibits that include:
* Dreamfinder's School of Drama – Become the star of your very own film using greenscreen technology
* Stepping Tones – Create your own music by stepping on electronic picture panels
* Figment's Coloring Book – Using electric paintbrush guns, add a little color to Figment and Dreamfinder
* Electric Philharmonic – Conduct an orchestra through the use of electronic sensors
* Rainbow Corridor – Stroll through an illuminated tunnel where colored lights follow you
* Vibrating Mirrors – Watch as your reflection changes right before your eyes
* Kaleidoscopes – Spin eye-popping colors in intricate designs via large-size kaleidoscopes
* Voice-Activated Lumia – Speak out and behold a bevy of shimmering light effects
* Bubble Projectors – Blow virtual bubbles on a circular screen and create colorful colors
* Figment's Melody Maker – Help Figment play an instrument to the tune of "One Little Spark"
You can even photograph yourself with the world's biggest digital camera and e-mail the photo to family and friends! It's all the fun you can possible imagine—and more!
Now, those of you (like me) who remember the original JII and the original Imageworks know that some of the things listed in that list haven't been around since the second floor was closed (like the Rainbow tunnel). I thought at first that someone goofed and printed outdated material, but there are also references to current exhibits. Did I miss something? I looked through other threads and didn't see any discussion on this. I'm wondering if WDW made a mistake and mixed in an old list or if we're getting a soft confirmation here that Imageworks second floor is coming back?!?!?! I know the stuff is still there, but just hasn't been open to the public. I hope this is a hint, not a mistake. Bring on the Rainbow Tunnel! :figment:
