I've been going to Disneyworld's EPCOT almost since it's inception. In fact, my first trip to EPCOT might be one of my most detailed, early memories. The fondest of those memories though, belong to Figment & his Journey into Imagination. I've since passed those memories onto both my little girls with Figment becoming their favorite part of EPCOT as well. Now it seems that Disney may be trying to get rid of my favorite little dragon, & it's not the first time. According to Chip & Company a recent survey to EPCOT guest asked on a scale of 1 to 10 how familiar & if they liked Imagination's mascot. Usually a sign of changes to come. Like I said, this wouldn't be the first time either. Figment's attraction joined the fray about 5 months after the initial opening of EPCOT. Figment was actually to be one of the only characters in the park as that was to be a Magic Kingdom thing. The ride was overhauled in 1998, giving it less appearances from Figment. After so much backlash from that, another renovation in 2002 brought back the fan favorite. EPCOT is supposed to be going through what Bob Chapek, Chairman of Disney Parks & Resorts, called "a major transformation". Which if the changing of the very popular Maelstrom to Frozen & adding The Three Caballeros to EPCOT's Mexico are any hints to what's to come, we've got another Disney license about to pop up. Obviously, I can't stand the idea of this going away. My only wish is they would put the ride back to it's original form or at least an upgraded version of the complete ride with the re-addition of Dreamfinder. If anyone knows or sees of any surveys or petitions online to help save Figment let us know in the comments so we can keep Imagination going. Oh, don't take it from me though, take a look at this little Figment Fan:
