We love Figment and are enjoying all the new representation he is getting in the parks!

Besides Journey Into Imagination with Figment (which needs a serious update), we love that Disney recently added a Figment meet-and-greet in the Imagination Pavailion’s ImageWorks! Figment now even has his section at the newly re-opened and re-imagined Ever After store in Disney Springs. Although Figment is quite a lovable fellow, we don’t like to ride his attraction for this awkward reason. 

Journey Into Imagination With Figment is located in EPCOT’s Imagination Pavilion. As you receive a tour of the Imagination Institute, Figment adds his own flair to the tour and, at one point, even takes over for Dr. Nigel Channing. While you may think this is an adorable slow-moving dark ride, elements of this attraction get a little too close to us.

While we love Figment, we don’t like how this ride gets all up in our business. When the tour starts, we are just met with some light messing around from Figment; it’s nothing too major.

The problem starts when you arrive at the Smell Labs. Chances are, if you have ridden the attraction and know what is coming, you will probably hold your breath. 

As a not-so-nice treat, Figment decides to land on the skunk smell and the attraction actually sprays out a skunk scent.

No one wants to have to smell skunky Figment while enjoying an attraction. We are all for using smells throughout the park, but we would rather smell popcorn and delicious baked goods while walking down Main Street or the refreshing scent of Fiji on Soarin’ Around the World in the Land Pavilion. Even better yet, we would rather smell Tiana’s fresh beignets in the new queue of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom.

Disney is Obsessed with Your Nose, Here is How!

Once Figment decides to take over the tour, we get to take a tour of his upside-down house, and we brace ourselves for what is inevitable.

At the end of the attraction, we are glad that Nigel Channing makes up with Figment! Dr. Nigel Channing ends the tour with a kind message, and when you think the tour is over, Figment has one more surprise for us! 

We don’t like it when Figment tells us that “imagination is a blast” and then proceeds to blast air in our faces.

No matter how many times we ride this ride and know that the blast of air is coming, we still jump because it spooks us. It is even worse for the people who are not expecting it. 

If this attraction ever gets an update, we hope that certain show elements are rethought out, preferably ones that do not get all up in our space.

Due to this, we try to avoid riding Journey Into Imagination with Figment, but sometimes we can’t help ourselves when the line is only five minutes!
