 Journey Into Imagination With Figment is an attraction located in the [[Imagination!]] pavilion within [[Epcot]]. If you are looking for the attraction that was housed in the pavilion from 1983 until 1999 see: [[Journey Into Imagination]].

 With the new millennium approaching, it was decided that Journey Into Imagination needed to be updated. While the  attraction remained popular, it had seen a recent decline in attendance and was beginning to look dated. Because of this, Kodak's renewal of their sponsorship of the Journey Into Imagination Pavilion necessitated that the attraction be updated before 2000 (when Epcot was planning on having its big millennium celebration). After a series of rejected ideas (including an attraction based on the 1997 movie Flubber, and another attraction that would have guests entering the mind of a celebrity),Walt Disney Imagineering pitched an idea for "must see" attraction that would use special effects, to challenge and confuse guest’s senses. After hearing the pitch, one executive said:

You will be surrounded by sound and not know the direction. It was all amazing, sounded state of the art and more importantly guaranteed to give the guests a terrific experience."| http://www.epcotlegacy.com}}

 The new attraction was eventually given the blessing of both Kodak and Disney, and Journey Into Imagination was closed on October 10, 1998. Taking its inspiration from the [[Honey, I Shrunk the Audience]] attraction, it was decided that  the new Journey Into Imagination would become a part of the fiction Imagination Institute (which the entire pavilion would now be themed as). Renamed Journey Into “Your” Imagination, the new attraction took guests on a tour of the Imagination Institute, where they learned the “effects of sound, color, illusion, dimension and gravity on people's ‘imagination generator.’” Dr. Nigel Channing (Eric Idle), who had appeared in Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, was tapped as the host of new attraction.  Imagineer Orrin Shively (who had previously produced Test Track) produced Journey Into “Your” Imagination, and gave the show a minimal plot in order to allow guests to explore their own imagination.

 The first room that the ride vehicles enter is the sound lab. The professor begins his demonstration by playing a series of tones, which shows how people hear out of either their left or right ear. As the test is going on, all of the sudden, guests here a phone ringing. As Figment appears holding a phone, he explains that you do not need to hear with your ears, but with your imagination. Dr. Nigel Channing then declares that he has completely lost his train of thought. With is queue, Figment replies “no you haven’t, its right here”, as guests hear a train go roaring by.

 After exiting the sound lab, guests enter the sight lab. Here Dr. Nigel Channing alerts guest’s attention to a large eye chart in the room. While guests are told to read the charts third line, they can see the silhouette of Figment creeping across the screen. Soon, Figment gets rid of all the other letters, and spells out his name. He then explains that “"Sure You Can see with your eyes, but imagine what you can see if you use your imagination”, before singing another new verse of "One Little Spark" as guests continue their tour of the Institute.

 After the skunk catastrophic, Dr. Channing decides to skip the touch and taste labs. He also questions whether or not to end the tour altogether. Figment says that ending the tour of the Institute is a great idea, and that they should instead tour his house. Guests then move off the normal track, as they head towards Figment's house. As Nigel laments that everything has been turned upside down, Figment gets an idea. He decides that upside down sounds like a great idea, and decides to turn his house upside down. Before guests enter his house, they see all kinds of surreal signs pointing them in the right direction. Figment can be heard singing "One Little Spark" again.

 Arriving back at the Imagination Institute, Dr. Nigel Channing informs guests that he has learned it's best to let imagination go free. Figment replies, "yeah imaginations a bang!" At this point, a loud popping sound is heard, and guests enter a room with many Audio Animatronic Figments celebrating, as they sing "One Little Spark". Inside the room, guests can see Figment flying by a rainbow and hitchhiking on a planet, among other things. Dr. Nigel's face can also be seen here, singing on the moon. After going through this scene, guests are invited to explore the [[ImageWorks]] to further their study of imagination. The final verses to "One Little Spark" which are played in this scene are:
