Changes
{{Quotation| "The story needed to describe the complex process in an engaging, interactive way without seeming like a lecture. A persona was needed to give the process personality, but having a human character seemed too selective. A friendly imaginary being that could delight in the wonders of imagination would be more inclusive <ref> https://www.disboards.com/threads/connecting-the-dots-with-a-potential-return-of-dreamfinder.1144737/ </ref>."}}
The plot of the attraction itself would have guests meeting the Dreamfinder in the opening Flight to Imagination scene. This would be followed by a trip to the Dreamport. After this second scene, guests would explore the power of imagination with Dreamfinder and Figment. Subsequent scenes would include: The Arts, Literature, Performing Arts, Science (included after being requested by Kodak <ref name= "interview"> http://themacgyverproject.blogspot.com/2015/12/tony-baxter-conversation.html </ref>), and then the attractions finale.
Of these scenes, the one that went through the most drastic change was the attraction's finale. According to Tony Baxter in the original planned ending:
The original Journey Into Imagination was a dark rides which focused on human imagination.
After making their way through the queue, guests would board their ride vehicles. The vehicles were trains consisting of four cars. As the vehicles began to move, guests could hear a voice singing the attractions theme song, "One Little Spark". In the clouds to their left, the shadow of a flying contraption could be seen sucking up various objects. As the song continued, the clouds would part relieving the Dreamfinder as the pilot of the flying contraption known as the Dreamcatcher. The Dreamfinder and guests would then fly together at the same speed as he introduced himself.
{{Quotation| Oh, hello there. So glad you could come along. I am the Dreamfinder. Ah, ha, ha. Musical notes! What delightful melodies those will make. I love these flights of fancy. Searching the universe for sounds, colors, ideas, anything that sparks the imagination.}}
As the Dreamfinder continued to sing, "One Little Spark" the objects that he talked about would be projected in the background. The machine that he was flying would also suck up various objects, which would end up in his bag. The Dreamfinder would then create a dragon like creature called Figment. He explained how he was creating Figment in song.[[Image:Dreamfindermachine.gif|thumb|400px|The Dreamfinder flying in his Dreamcatcher.]]

A figment of imagination!}}
Figment would then appear alongside the Dreamfinder, telling him that (Figment) was perfect. The Dreamfinder would respond that Figment still needed a "dash of childish delight". The Dreamfinder would then show Figment the "guests" that had joined them. Together they discussed how everybody could use their imagination. As the Dreamfinder and Figment began to sing about various things, the objects of their imagination would appear. They would then begin to imagine all kinds of things. The Dreamfinder imagined a stormy night, and lightning combined with ghostly shivers and a full moon.He then told Figment they could "turn them into a tale of fright!" (as laughter could be heard.
Figment then imagined a rainbow, that he could color with. He then imagined:
{{Quotation| "Numbers, letters, papers for writing. Costumes, make-up, stages for lighting. Teardrops, laughter..."}}
{{Quotation| "Science! We'll need electron beams and crystal prisms, gyroscopes and magnetisms, holograms in three dimensions"}}
While he talked about science, projections of the equation E=MC², an atom and the elemental symbol CO2 appeared. While Figment was imagining science, the Dreamfinder had to cut him off. On the flying machine, the world "full" lit up and the Dreamfinder had to inform Figment that the bag could not hold any more ideas. He then told both Figment and the guests that, "We must store these ideas with the others in the Dreamport. ". When Figment asked how far away the Dreamport was, the Dreamfinder told him that it was never far away, when they used their imagination.
Guests would then travel with the Dreamfinder and Figment to the Dreamport. Here, they would see various objects, ideas, and thoughts covered with gears and cogs. The Dreamport was the place where the Dreamfinder and Figment stored all of their ideas. At this point, guests could see the Dreamfinder's bag, hooked up to a machine known as the Imaginometer. The Imaginometer, sorted through the ideas, grouping them together. The groups that the Imaginometer sorted included: dreams, sights, words, sounds, colors and ideas. The machine also had a meter which read how full the Imaginometer was.To the left of the machine, was gold container labledlabeled, "Deep Thoughts". Guests could see inside the container, through a window. Inside the Dreamport guests would also see
* A giant coffee pit pouring coffee right above guests heads
* A bottle of Morning Miss perfume, which sprayed guests and made the room smell like fresh flowers.
After exiting the Dreamport, guests would enter the art scene. Here, spouts poured "Sun Rays," "Molten Lava," and "Gem Stones", which the Dreamfinder then used to paint with. He then used his paintbrush (which changed colors depending on what he was painting) to create a river, flowers and animals. In this scene, the Dreamfinder would sing:
[[Image:imaginometer.jpg|300px|thumb|The Imaginometer which could be found in the middle of the Dreamport.]]
As guests continued on, they could see various 3D animals and flowers. They were all colored white and appeared to made out of paper. The objects were lit with colorful lights, and serine music could be heard. Guests could see a large fish, lion, ostrich, unicorn and camel are rotating under a giant flower. In the art scene, guests could see Figment sitting at the base of a group of flowers wearing a beret and tie. He was painting the rainbow that he had mentioned earlier, while sitting next to a pot of gold
The scene then shifted to the "Tales of Terror" segment. As the clouds which lined the top of the room turned grey and angry, the Dreamfinder could be seen playing a haunting tune on a volcano shaped, organ. The organ is also unique, in that it has a typewriter for a keyboard, instead of the standard musical keyboard. As the Dreamfinder played, lava and smoke would erupt from the top of the volcano. The words would then turn into words such as "Horror," "Danger," and "Thrill". In this room, the Dreamfinder sang:
[[Image:Onceuponatime.jpg|400px|thumb|The words "Once Upon a Time" led guests to a haunted castle.]]
{{Quotation|One chilling word<br>
At this point, the scene once again shifted, now showing a magical library. Here, books with names such as "Serpents", "Trolls", "Giants", "Leprechauns", "Knights", "Dragons", and "Eyes". The phrase "Once Upon a Time" could also be seen here, leading guests towards a castle. Lightning would then strike, as the word "lightning" appeared to guests. Figment could then be seen holding a flickering candle. The candle cast a shadow of the word "Shadow" onto an open book behind him. On guests left, they could read the word "Dungeon", as red eyes of monsters peered at them. Figment could then be seen hanging from chains on the ceiling, and holding a book entitled, "Nightmare". At this point, guests could hear a Raven cawing, and see it's shadow on an open book. The book was actually Edgar Allen Poe's poem the Raven, with the page reading, ""Quoth the raven, nevermore.". A book reading vampires could then be seen along with a book titled, "Monsters" which Figment was trying to keep closed.
As guests moved out of the scary literature scene, they entered a scene depicting the backstage of a theater. A large marquee reading, "World Premiere Performance" could be seen, along with three rotating signs which read words such as, "Dance", "Music", "Tears", "Laughter". On their left, guests could see Figment dressed in a tuxedo and standing in front of a make-up mirror. In his hand was a mask of the Dreamfinder's face. A sign above him read, "A Brand New Show!". Dreamfinder (unseen) and Figment then began to sing again:

Guests would then see the Dreamfinder conducting a laser light show. Guests could see musical notes, various shapes, and a top hat and cane projected onto the wall. Guests would then see Figment, now in a astronaut suit, hitchhiking his way to the next scene, science. At this point, the ride vehicles entered a tunnel where various shapes were reflected onto the walls and ceiling. The shapes seemed to be constantly moving away from guests as they passed through. Inside the tunnel guests could hear the Dreamfinder repeating:
{{Quotation|What about science, science, science, science... And what about science, science, science, science...?}}
On the other side of the tunnel, guests could see the Dreamfinder wearing a white lab coat and turning a large microscope. The Dreamfinder showed guests a view of Earth from space, in this view the Earth looked like from space. Earth then morphed into a single drop of rain, which fell into a pond of water. The Dreamfinder then spoke saying:
{{Quotation|"Technology, like a newfound potion<br>
Science reveals a life within<br>}}
At this point the microscope was used to show all of the living organisms within the water. The Dreamfinder then continued, "I'll wind this dial and time escapes, Watch minerals change to crystal shapes". The microscope then zoomed in to show enlarged crystals. He then said, "Let's look at nature at this speed,From germination, then back to seed". A time lapse film was then shown, in which a flower is shown growing from seed to a full flower. The Dreamfinder then concluded:
{{Quotation|"Skyrockets soar towards outer space<br>
[[Image:Figmentasturnaut.jpg|300px|thumb|Figment hitchhiking in his astronaut suit.]]
After the Dreamfinder said this, fireworks exploded. The film restarted, showing Earth from space once again. In a window behind the screen, guests could see Figment doing various tricks. Continuing on, guests could see signs reading, "World's Beyond", "The Known and the Unknown", "Destiny", and "Dreams", all pointed in different directions. Straight ahead, guests could see the Dreamfinder wearing a sorcerer's costume with a turban and cape. He was waving his arms over his crystal ball, while Figment watched intently. He and Figment were discussing the nature of imagination, while guests pictures were taken. Figment and the Dreamfinder would then once talk.
{{Quotation|'''Figment:''' Oh, there are so many places to dream about.<br>
* Sitting on a treasure chest dressed as a pirate
Continuing on, guests then saw the Dreamfinder rolling a movie camera. Although he was supposedly filming the the movie on the screen behind him. Instead of the movie however, guests would see the ride photos taken earlier in the attraction. The Dreamfinder would then give one final speech as guests disembarked, reminding them to visit the [[ImageWorks]].
