On March 5, 1983 – 27 years ago – the ride Journey Into Imagination opened at Walt Disney World’s Epcot. The ride starred the Dreamfinder and his friend Figment, a super cute purple dinosaur with orange wings!
Throughout the ride the Dreamfinder told riders to dream big, and imagine – along with Figment, the figment of your imagination!
The ride has been extremely revamped since it originally opened. Now the ride concentrates more on Dr. Nigel Channing and how he wants to test the riders’ five human senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Touch and Taste.
But Figment can’t help but cause mischief along the way! When Dr. Nigel gives up, realizing that Figment is relentless, riders get to journey into Figment’s own “Open House” and set their imagination free!
We must admit we liked the original version of the ride best, but we might be partial since Figment is our favorite Disney Character from a ride.
