[@terrencelovesyou5142]

Huh

[@terrencelovesyou5142]

Can u explain to me

[@AEspera]

Addie Girl the FTC is trying to argue and charge youtubers who are kid friendly for their content. That’s just a quick summary of it, for a more lengthy and thorough explanation, watch Game theory or Phil Defranco’s videos on it

[@terrencelovesyou5142]

Fat thank u this explains a lot

[@jadonhung]

It’s for the YT COPPA issue, bc YT was stealing info from children, got fined over $1mil+, and will fine you tubers $50k if they don’t identify what age their videos are meant for.

[@magicman205]

I've said it before and I'll say it again... TPM Vids is literally the only content in the Disney fan community where I am consistently learning things I've never known before.

The Original Journey Into Imagination. Because We NEED The Dreamfinder again.

[@TPMvids]

YES YES YES

[@princessalyana3114]

I have to agree. They didn't have to change the rude totally just update it. Have him be an alien from space and wonder how people use their imagination. Then he sends figment to see what people do. Just and idea.

[@DisneyfanBeckers]

Maybe a new adventure with the same characters and in the same spirit of the original would be good. As great as the original was, having the exact same thing might be a little underwhelming. I would love to be able to time travel and experience the original myself though

[@CarolinaMouse]

Yes...a hundred times yes!!!

[@pault5557]

YES PLEASE! ❤️

[@makingtimestudios841]

Is it just me or should they make a tangled dark ride for the Germany pavilion

They should. I think the same.

[@timdoeswhatever]

Well I think they may not because it said at the beginning for 13 year olds

[@stageofsekai]

*yeah, because they don't want COPPA to sue them.*

[@greenday44021]

It already has, that’s why he put 13 years up in the beginning

This is one of the best channels to find hidden secrets.

[@graceelhajj3910]

I miss Maelstrom soo much! it was one of my absolute favorite rides!

[@Andronos]

One thing you missed in Test Track is that (at least in the single rider line) when you finish making your car and scan your magic band it plays the 5 notes of "it's fun to be free". It's a nice little inclusion.

[@SlipperySoap]

Neat fact!

[@JustInDisney]

Attendez quoi

[@TheDigitalApple]

Oh great now because of COPPA you have to put a warning in the start of a video. I wish this didn’t happen.

Me too! There was so much excitement with 1.0

@@TPMvids With the original you actually feel as a dummy and not that your riding just an average ride. That's right I said it. The new one is average, the truck seen doesn't even feel realistic anymore. I HATE IT

[@mikey_m114]

this video was super awesome! it’s pretty sad that so many rides were either abandoned as concepts or cleared out to make room for new attractions, but it’s nice to see them paying homage to them! :D

[@dualipausfan2396]

Me too

[@krististarosta6736]

Have them bring back World of Motion. I love to know the history of transportation.

[@BlueSkyConcepts]

Or at least bring back the original test track, the experience was so much more immersive. Which after all is all about WED or now called Walt Disney Imagineering is all about. To immerse the rider into a story. Which frankly the test track we have now doesn't.

[@JustInDisney]

No

[@towannashaw6280]

Everytime you make a video I am so happy to hear your voice

[@Goland454]

Malestrom is also forever in the Kingdom Keepers books. So glad you covered it. I hope Germany does get a ride. That’d be awesome!~!

GM didn’t end their sponsorship contract with Disney, Chevrolet is a GM brand

[@chartle1]

Yep they just decided to feature Chevy. This was when they were getting rid of olds and Pontiac and I guess figured chevy needed the boost

[@disneyfanaticsanonymous6344]

It was sponsored by Ford (not GM) prior to Chevy, I believe.

[@chartle1]

@@disneyfanaticsanonymous6344 nope GM I remember seeing Saturns in the queue. We had 2 at the time.

[@mattball3343]

General Motors has always been the sponsor of this pavilion either in its Test Track form or World of Motion form. Ford did sponsor disney’s people mover at the 1964 world’s fair but i can’t recall them sponsoring a Disney Park ride.

[@camdenmcclelland618]

What if the test track doors just didn’t open one day and the car just when right through it

[@SNS3000]

The door is made up materials a lot lighter then they look (like paper thin). So it would just break apart and no one would be harmed. However I imagine the ride will close briefly while they install another one from storage.

[@camdenmcclelland618]

SNS3000 ok

[@idontknowanymore9966]

[@camdenmcclelland618]

I don’t know anymore I just want to see someone go through it I just think it would be funny and kinda cool

There is no doubt in my mind I would bring back the original Figment. That ride was so immersive and full of many different effects that there is no comparison to any other ride in EPCOT. Also I would have horizons and world of motion come back just because they were so well built and the stories they told were a great inspiration to all of the did hard Disney fans.

[@pink-a-palouza7888]

People mentioned Journey in to imagination a couple times in the comment section and I really do want it come back because imagination is important to all people of all ages

[@paradarks1353]

I would bring back original Figment. I've never seen the original ride, but i want to.

[@hannahsundeen]

Bring back the original Journey Into Imagination because the current is nowhere near as good, the Dreamfinder is awesome, and Figment is my favorite Disney character.

[@theawsomemlggamer2tds936]

[@bonaplis3390]

[@dennisthebrony2022]

@@bonaplis3390 It's for all ages actually, he just had to put that "thing" there so KZbin won't turn off comments, because of COPPA.

[@Computer_Wife]

Another fun reference to the original Journey Into Imagination can be seen during the final show scene of Journey Into Imagination with Figment. If you look at the hang gliding Figment figure, you’ll notice he’s using sheet music as a hang glider, the sheet music is actually the piano score for One Little Spark and there’s even a little graphic of the Dream Catcher on the top of the right page! It’s not super hidden, but I still think it’s pretty cool :)

[@jojopuppetstudio]

That’s smart putting that in the beginning of the video 💯‼️good job!

[@tigremalabarista3461]

Another fun fact: a few of the Robots from Horizons are also robots you meet in the baggage claim and welcomes as you leave Soace Mountain. I know the robot butler is one. Also I’m glad they’re going back to the old logos. They’ve kept all the ones that had a logo back then the same and designed new ones for newer parts. The seas, land, Epcot and Spaceship eEarth are all the same logos.

[@TRON8882]

I'd bring back Journey Into Imagination. Even though i have only ridden the OG at least 10 times. I live in Southern California and my Dad and Mom worked at Disneyland and my uncle worked for continental airlines. So every few year's we took a vacation to Walt Disney World. To this day 36 years later, this is on my top 10 favorite Disney rides of all time. That ride was original and didn't have to rely on an IP. The songs where catchy by the Sherman Brothers. It was a relaxing adventurous ride about what Imagination could be. Also the Imagination Pavilion on the second floor was awesome! Being in your own interactive play, to coloring on a computer screen and have a table of nailbolts that would mold to your hand or anything on the bottom of the table. I always wished that besides making Figment merch when the ride originally came out, I wish they made the Dreamfinder merch as well and a toy based on the DreamCatcher. I'm talking like a pull-back Dream Catcher with an action figure of both Dreamfinder and Figment that you could play with as well as seat them in the Duragable/DreamCatcher . There would be action figure sets of Disney characters new and old. This would have been part of the toy line up. So The Dreamfinder would interact with Mickey or dare I say it, an action figure of Tony Baxter or Walt Disney.

[@kikiloop5860]

Nice disclaimer, TPM, very subtle. 👌

As much as I enjoyed Frozen, Maelstrom looks like it was awesome! (And possibly a bit scary 😅)

[@angelita98gaby]

What a coincidence that just yesterday I was on a whole YT binge of late 80’s Epcot attractions! Really wish I could’ve experienced Epcot in the late 80’s. It’s actually kind of awkward...I was born in 1998 - the same year Journey into Imagination closed 😅

I was pretty happy to see so much of the logo scattered around. Also, I love seeing the Journey Into Imagination flying machine in Mouse Gear. I hope they give it a good new home, perhaps even a promotion from a decoration to a functional set piece ;)
