===What If? Labs (1998-Present)===
In 1998 both the Journey Into Imagination attraction and the ImageWorks were closed for refurbishment. During the refurbishment, the ImageWorks was moved to the first floor of the pavilion, and renamed the Kodak: What If? Labs. During the run of Journey Into Your Imagination, the exhibits focused on guests imagination, usually with a tie in to photography. Many guests complained that while the ImageWorks had been previously been an imagination playground, the Kodak: What If? Labs was simply an advertisement for Kodak. The exhibits during this time included: an exhibit where guests could conduct a 1990s orchestra, Stepping Tones (similar to the former exhibit) and a mirror that distorted guests guest’s body. Following the re-branding of the attraction to Journey Into Imagination With Figmentin 2002, Figment was also added to the labs. Although (although many of the exhibits remained essentially the same). During Kodak’s sponsorship, Figment was added to show his inclusion in the pavilionWhat If? Labs featured a giant digital camera.
