ReviewsTechNow they changed it, I think, because they had major faults in the track and the rotating dreamfinder scene. It kept breaking down so they just threw it away and gave us this half thought out replacement. They actually cut out about half the track from the original ride. I vaguely remember this ride from when I was a child but remember the dream finder scene and song. It’s a shame- hope they do better for figment and bring back the threamfinder.

Actually Kodak wasn’t able to maintain its full sponsorship of the ride, and the ride needed major updates. Kodak gave very little money for maintaining the ride. Disney, already under financial pressure from the failure of Euro Disney, was unable to allocate enough funds to make the needed updates. Therefore they settled on altering and shortening the ride because it was all they could afford with Kodak’s little contributions. This is only one of the problems Disney was facing at the time, another was the rapid loss of sponsors for Epcot. They just didn’t have the money.

This video,along with my memories of riding,convinces me that this would still be popular today if it still existed. It's a Disney ride...crammed to bursting with so much audiovisual detail that it's impossible to take it all in in a single ride,prompting one to experience it as many times as possible. Some of the visual effects,created in the late 70's/early 80's,are a little bit dated...but I remind readers of a certain pirate ride and haunted house that aren't entirely as they were upon their initial opening. Had they replaced this with something as good,I wouldn't complain...but they didn't. The current ride is a forgettable trek through a bunch of darkened rooms highlighting a single illusion. I'm not even going to mention how the entire pavilion got ruined in the process.

I’ll explain why.. in ‘94, Disney started marketing “Honey I Shrunk the Audience” as the main attraction in the pavilion as opposed to the ride & ImageWorks like before, in the early days it was marketed as a 3 attraction experience you had to see all of to truly experience the entire pavilion. First you rode the ride, then you were invited to the upstairs ImageWorks, then after you were invited to go down the escalator to see the 3D/4D movie in the Magic eye theatre. So yeah, after this ‘HISTA is the main attraction in this pavilion’ marketing move happened, This artificially dropped attendance for the ride & ImageWorks and many newcomers would go & see ‘Honey’ and not even know the ride or ImageWorks are there due to the intentional lessening of marketing, queue rope positioning, signage, and spieling about them on the monorail on said ride & interactive area. Not to mention, when the movie ended, it spilled you out into the fountain garden area near the exit. So yeah, This data would then be used to prove that ‘Honey I Shrunk’ was more popular than Journey into Imagination. Thus, in ‘99 they rethemed the entire ride & pavilion to reflect said film IP and it’s been a sad shell of it’s former self ever since..

Thanks for documenting one of the best rides ever created for Epcot. We had some video of this but VHS quality is lacking due to time

Got to ride this once before they butchered it. When I went back I was shocked by the changes. My mom named her dog figment. It broke her heart when I told her the ride was no more :(

Great imaginative ride back there, looks like something off LBP when watching this. And it was filmed in Jan '96; I was 4 yrs old.

Thanks for posting this!! Went on the ride in '87 and '88- but haven't been back to Disney World since. Still have my 12" stuffed Figment, tho- my daughter loves it!

I would love it if Disney remade the ride with Dreamfinder and Figment together again. They can use screens and projectors and 3D glasses for all I care, just bring Dreamfinder back. (Properly that is)

the updated version of this ride isn't even close to being as good as the original . so glad I was able to enjoy the original
@darkdistiller6 жыл бұрын
This is such a beautiful looking ride! One wonders why they chose to replace it. To me just doing a refurbish to update some of the technology like the videos or projections would have been the way to go. I like Monty Python and all, but Eric Idle as Dr.Channing can't come close to Dreamfinder.

The nostalgia makes me cry. I miss this original attraction so much. I was first there in 1985. I wish this version still existed. The one that replaced this is terrible and disappointing. Bring back the Dreamfinder and return this attraction to a similar version of the original, please.
@STUARTDEMBO4 жыл бұрын
So great to see this original ride. Disney absolutely destroyed such a great attraction. If anyone at Disney had any sense they would get the dream finders flying machine out of Mouse Gear and restore this ride to its original glory!!!

Thank you for sharing this video with the world. I never got to experience the original, but have always had a deep appreciation for this attraction’s history and for the icons that came from this version. It’s probably never going to return in the state we see in this video, but I have high hopes that one day Figment and The Dreamfinder will once again be in the spotlight of Epcot and continue to bring out the Little Spark in a new generation of dreamers.
