==Attraction History==
The genesis of the Journey Into Imagination attraction began when Imagineer Tony Baxter was tasked with working on creating a pavilion for Kodak in EPCOT Center. Although the company had agreed to sponsor a pavilion in the developing theme park, a suitable topic had not yet been decided on. When giving Baxter instructions for the pavilion, Kodak's only request was that it be "very imaginative" <ref name= "E82"> http://www.epcotlegacy.com/historical-expositions/2010/6/30/gather-store-re-combine-a-history-of-imagination-part-1.html </ref>. Taking these words to heart, Tony began to work on a pavilion based on imagination.
==Attraction Plot==
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 revealing Dreamfinder as the pilot of the flying contraptionknown 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|Dreamfinder flying in his Dreamcatcher.]]
{{Quotation| Two tiny wings<br>
Eyes big and yellow <br>
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 menacing laughter could be was heard). Figment then imagined a rainbow, that he could color with. He then imaginedcontinued imagining:
{{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, which 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 machine was.To the left of the machinedevice, was gold container labledlabeled, "Deep Thoughts". Guests could see inside the container, through a window. Inside the Dreamport guests would also see:[[Image:imaginometer.jpg|400px|thumb|The Imaginometer which could be found in the middle of the Dreamport.]]* A giant coffee pit pot pouring coffee right above guests guest's heads
* A chest labeled "Fog Bank"
* A box, which opened to reveal numerous clapping hands
* A neon sign which read "Neon"
* Molecular structures
* Bags which held the warm North wind Wind and the cold South windWind. They would blast guests when the ride vehicles went by.* Barrels with the word "laugh" written on them(get it- a barrel of laughs).
* A bird cage containing musical notes, sitting on perches.
* A File cabinet which was labeled "Buzzes", "Groans", "Barks", "Oohs" and "Aahs". Guests could also hear these noises.
* 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 Arts scene. Here, spouts poured "Sun Rays," "Molten Lava," and "Gem Stones", which the Dreamfinder then used to would 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:

As guests continued on, they could see various 3D animals and flowers. They , which 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 could also be seen, 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:
