Journey Into Imagination with Figment

Overview

Journey Into Imagination With Figment is a whimsical dark ride through the Imagination Institute’s sensory labs, guided by EPCOT icon, Figment. It is playful, odd, and full of old-school EPCOT personality.

The Queue

The queue is fairly straightforward, but the pavilion itself carries some of the attraction’s quirky, creative energy. It feels more like entering a playful science space than stepping into a major story-driven queue.

The Ride

Dr. Nigel Channing tries to present the five senses in an orderly way, but Figment repeatedly takes over and turns the experience upside down. The result is a silly, sensory-focused ride full of color, sound, and a deliberately offbeat sense of humor.
