Changes

The original Journey Into Imagination attraction, was a dark ride hosted by the Dreamfinder and his creation Figment. On the attraction guests would explore various aspects of Imaginationimagination. Scenes on Journey Into Imagination included, the Dreamport, an art scene, a nightmare scene, a theater scene and a finale. The ride ran from 1983-1998. For a more detailed plot summary visit the [[Journey Into Imagination]] page.

The second version of Journey Into Imagination was known as Journey Into ''Your'' Imagination. The focus of the ride was to allow guests to explore their own imagination. Due to this concept, the attraction had minimal plot and the popular characters the Dreamfinder and Figment were almost completely removed. The attraction's plot began in the queue, where guests could see signs for the Imagination Institute. A directory showed that the institute was made up of six different departments: color, dimensions, gravity, illusions, sound, and the [[ImageWorks]]. Dr. Nigel Channing then appeared on the monitors in the queue, to inform guests that besides just touring the lab, they would also be test subjects for the new Imagination Scanner experiment. This video, was one of the few places in the attraction where guests could still see Figment.  After entering their ride vehicles, guests moved forward and stopped in front of a large mirror. Here the Imagination Scanner would scan them, to determine what they were imagining. Dr. Nigel Channing would then inform guests that there was, "Not much going on" in their imagination(with the scanner showing cobwebs and even a “vacancy” sign), which was perfect for the experiment. The tour of the labs then began in the sound room. HereSound Room, where guests were challenged to "see what you hear". The room was almost completely dark, but inside guests could hear various noises such as: a baby crying, a trumpet, a toilet flushing and finally, a train roaring by. After exiting As guests transitioned into the sound roomIllusion Lab, guests entered the illusion lab. Here Nigel informed them, that when you defy “"When the laws of physicsand common sense are shattered, imagination takes placeover". In the illusion labIllusion Lab, guests could see a looking glass illusion that seemed to magnifying a room, as well as and a cinder block breaking through a glass table (that actually had no glass). Continuing on, riders based by giant cage which appeared to be empty. After , after further inspection however, guests could see a camouflage camouflaged giant butterfly. Another illusion in the lab was a fish who that seemed to by swimming out of water, although this was obviously not actually the case.

The next room After exiting the Illusion Lab, guests entered was the Color of Sound room. Here , large screens showed how imagination relates colors to sound. When For example, when the screen was red, guests would hear something cooking, when it was green they could hear rainforest sounds, and finally a metallic color allowed guests to hear a space ship blasting off. After exiting leaving the color room, Color of Sound guests would enter the connection room. HereConnection Room, guests where they were surrounded by stars, which when connected properly , could create images of animals. The final room in the tour was the gravity room. Here Gravity Lab, where everything that was supposed to be down was up. Guests In this room, guests could look on the ceiling to see upside down rooms, including a bathroom and a kitchen. There were also upside down mirrorslocated here, which showed guests upside down.

After completing their tour, guests were once again scanned by the Imagination Scanner. This time however, their imagination was so strong that they broke the machine. After the machine had malfunctioned, the lights would go out in the room, and projects projections of all the objects in that guests imagination were imagining could be seenabove. Dr. Nigel Channing would then invite guests to visit the [[ImageWorks]] , concluding the attraction.

Like Journey Into ''Your'' Imagination, Journey Into Imagination With Figment begins with guests entering the Imagination Institute. Here, guests see a directory of the five six departments of the institute: smell, sight, sound, taste, and touchand the [[ImageWorks]].
