Changes

While many things changed both outside and within the Imagination! Pavilion in 1998, there was no bigger change then the new Journey Into Imagination attraction. Now titled Journey Into ''Your'' Imagination, the attraction was rethemed as a tie-in to Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. Taking place inside the Imagination Institute, Dr. Nigel Channing (Eric Idle) now gave guests a tour of the institute, using them as test subjects for a new invention, the Imagination Scanner. To the surprise of many guests, Dreamfinder was completely removed from the attraction, and Figment (once the mascot of Epcot) was reduced to only a brief cameo.

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. Journey Into Your Imagination closed on October 8, 2001, before reopening on June 2, 2002 as "Journey Into Your Imagination with Figment" (although the ''your'' was dropped in 2003). Following the refurbishment, the attraction now 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 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.
