Tony Baxter would come out of retirement to update Figment’s Epcot attraction

The future of Epcot is full of change. Epcot’s Future World is being rethemed with new attractions and mission statements for the land. But what about some of the current Future World attractions? Many ask if Journey into Imagination with Figment will see an update since Epcot is receiving an overhaul.

Legendary Disney Imagineer, Tony Baxter, recently expressed such an interest in Figment’s ride. Over the years, Tony has contributed many classic designs and rides to the legacy of Disney Parks. He says he is willing to return to work if he could redo Epcot’s Journey into Imagination.

Baxter talking about Journey Into Imagination With Figment:

"I just wish we would do the ride over. I would come back out of retirement to do that ride over.”https://t.co/fgfrrwvSDJ https://t.co/1IxwgyBxyA

It’s certainly interesting to see Tony Baxter is thinking about how a redo of Figment’s attraction is necessary. Unfortunately, there’s no such plans to touch upon this Epcot ride at the moment. But the notion of an update is certainly wishful thinking for Disney fans given Tony’s history with the company. After all, it’s confirmed that Tony Baxter is partly contributing to the retheming of Splash Mountain.

What’s your opinion of Journey into Imagination? Are you happy with Figment’s current attraction or do you want to see it change? Let us know what you want to see happen for Epcot’s favorite purple dragon!
