Journey Into the Imagination With Figment reviews

Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Journey Into the Imagination With Figment, a dark ride in Future World - Imagination at Epcot.

Journey Into the Imagination with Figment is the third incarnation of this much-maligned dark ride. Using the same Imagination Institute theme from the pavilion's Honey, I Shrunk the Audience 3D movie, this attraction takes you on a tour of the fictitious lab's inner workings. Stimulating all five senses, you are hit with various illusions, experiments, and brain teasers while the much-ballyhooed purple dragon Figment, makes surprise appearances antagonizing your "tour guide", Dr. Nigel Channing (played by Eric Idle).

After the ride (or instead of the ride), you can visit an interactive exhibit area offering some unique, hands-on imagery technology.

Meh, the old version needs to return. 3/10 - Eric Cartman

I am still amazed that this ride is still in existence. I doubt it has any value for anyone above the age of 5. I remember one time looking at the pictures that were taken during the ride and there I was looking like I was watching paint dry. I sometimes wonder if Disney doesn't just keep some rides open as an opportunity to get into the air conditioning. - Keith Forrest

never a wait(and I mean never more than 3 people in line at a time) so good to kill time when you have a fp. it is boring, but not as bad as stitch at MK, worth a 5/10 but I hope it gets replaced with something more worthy of the original occupants glory - travis traymoore

From what I understand this ride is only still standing due to nostalgical reasons. This ride is supposed to guide you through the five different senses, however on the 3 occasions that we have been on it - we have never smelled anything, heard anything particularly loud or actually touched anything. In my view they should replace this attraction and let it become just 'a figment of our imaginations'. - Ben Price

Stupid ride and also a major waste of space! Worst ride in Epcot! It has no purpose. 0/10 - D H

For something that's designed for little kids you'd think it would be a bit more appropriate. Really scared our little kids. Still, my grandparents took me on this when I was really young, and I can never resist it. - Heather Olson

Figment AND Epcot deserve so much better. So, explain me this, why do my wife and I NEVER miss this attraction and usually ride 2 to 3 times during a vacation to WDW? - Joseph Catlett

For a ride about Imagination this ride is severely lacking in anything original or charming. Figment has been reduced to a loud mouth brat and the set pieces are cheap looking and largely static. Still there's rarely a line and the air conditioning is nice. - David Wilcock

I expected my imagination to wonder on this, but it didnt. All i saw was Figment yell. Do it once, never do it again. And hold your breath if you get a skunk smell! 2/10 - Dominick D

I agree something could be put into its place, but i would miss it terribly - Arianna Biffle

We rode this every year when I used to go with my dance group. It is a nice ride through an air conditioned room during a hot July day. The real fun is after the ride in the area you're put out in. You can create some hilarious pictures, play some musical instruments, and have some fun out of the heat. You cant ever be too young at heart at Disney! - Terri Pierce
