What the hell did they do to Figment?

[Tramspotter]

This topic came up when I was discussing the recent trip to EPCOT that Erica and I took.

I built up the Imagination area and the character of Figment to her without knowing they changed it so drastically and she was quite unimpressed with both him and the attraction...

But they gutted the ride changed his voice and got rid of the old scientist guy and made it some bastardized honey I shrunk the audience theamed cheese-feast imagination was replaced with co-branding bulsh.

I love Eric Idol but the script itself and him as a nervous strait-man playing the Inventors society president did nothing for me and not knowing his prior work would have kids think of him as the high strung scary old mad scientist. Figment was not developed enough in the new attraction and made me wish he was put to death and the spirit of 3D from the Muppet movie or one of the characters from Honey I shrunk the kids might as well replace him he has been made useless...

The ride and my fondness for it and special place for figment has perhaps been irrevocably damaged if not killed by this horrible abomination of an attraction. Redoing it was a mistake but attaching fig to it is unforgivable.

Anyone else on this drift... I got my Java gonna step of the soapbox and let you other cats discuss..... Hey if you like the new attraction I might spit coffee all over the floor but won't hassle you (much) for your opinion either.
