In 1998 , both the [[Journey Into Imagination attraction ]] and the ImageWorks were closed for refurbishment. During the refurbishmentrennovation, the ImageWorks was moved to the first floor of the pavilion, and renamed the "Kodak: What If? Labs". Initially, the exhibits focused on guest's imagination, usually with a tie in to photography. Many guests complained that while the original ImageWorks had been previously been an imagination playground, the Kodak: What If? Labs was simply an advertisement for Kodak.
