Changes

The new Journey Into Your Imagination attraction proved to be extremely unpopular with guests and many decided to boycott the attraction (as well as Kodak) to protest the changes. This campaign proved to be quite successful, as guest complaints (along with pressure from Kodak and Michael Eisner) led to the attraction getting another overhaul in 2001 <ref> http://www.epcotlegacy.com/historical-expositions/2011/3/28/gather-store-re-combine-a-history-of-imagination-part-3.html </ref>. Journey Into Your Imagination closed on October 8, 2001 <Ref> http://www.epcotlegacy.com/historical-expositions/2011/6/13/gather-store-re-combine-a-history-of-imagination-part-4.html </ref>, before reopening on June 2, 2002 as "Journey Into Imagination with Figment" <ref name= "Martin2"/> <ref> http://www.disney-pal.com/Epcot/journey_into_imagination.htm </ref>. Following the refurbishment, the attraction still focused on Dr. Nigel Channing once again giving guest a tour of the Imagination Institute. Instead of testing out his Imagination Scanner however, Dr. Channing now explained how the five senses can trigger human imagination. Figment returned in this version of the attraction, disrupting the doctor’s tour, and showing guests his imagination. Although the focus of the attraction was changed, the basic premise and the track structure of the ride remained basically the same. Also of note, The Kodak What if Labs remained essentially the same, however Figment was added to many of the exhibits <ref name= "Martin2"/>.

In 2009, following the death of Michael Jackson, Disney mulled over the idea of bringing Captain EO back as a tribute to the late singer. Sure enough on July 2, 2010, Captain EO returned to the Imagination! Pavilion, replacing Honey, I Shrunk the Audience <Ref> https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/04/captain-eo-returning-to-walt-disney-world-resort/ </ref>. In August of 2010, Kodak ended its 28 year sponsorship of the pavilion and all references to the company were removed <ref> http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-09-10/news/os-disney-world-kodak-sponsorship-20100909_1_kodak-products-epcot-attraction-theme-parks </ref>. Following the end of Kodak's sponsorship, The What If Labs have returned to their original name ImageWorks. On March 25, 2012, ColerVision announced it would assume sponsorship the ImageWorks <ref> http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/rumor-new-imagination-sponsor-colorvision.834775/page-3 </ref>.
