Other points of the Journey Into Imagination attraction began when Imagineer Tony Baxter was tasked with working interest on creating a pavilion for Kodak in EPCOT Center. Although Hollywood Boulevard include the company had agreed to sponsor a pavilion in the developing theme parkHollywood Brown Derby, as well as a suitable topic had not yet been decided on. When giving Baxter instructions for the pavilion, Kodak's only request was plethora of shops 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 are based on imaginationvarious Hollywood landmarks.

After thinking about the intangible subject, Tony came to conclusion that all imagination, no matter the subject, happens when you, "gather, store and re-combine" <ref name= "E82"/>. To portray this concept, Tony created The Dreamcatcher (as its unofficially known), which Imagineer (and attraction art director) Steve Kirk described as "a giant vacuum cleaner floating through space" <ref name= "E82"/>. The Dreamcatcher would essentially would collect sparks of imagination and store themHistory==[[Image:Lookdownhollywood. Later, they could be recombined into something newjpg|thumb|400px|A look down Hollywood Boulevard at night.Photo by Disney]]

When looking to create a host for the new attractionDisney-MGM Studio’s opened, Tony turned to Hollywood Boulevard housed The Great Movie Ride and an old idea that he had developed for unnamed Disney character stage show housed in the unbuilt Discovery Bay expansion of Disneyland. One original Theater of the attractions for this new land was to be the Gallery of Illusion, hosted by Professor Marvel Stars <ref name= "E82MGMmap"/>. The older gentleman was somewhat based Also located on Hollywood Boulevard on opening day were the Wizard of Oz Hollywood Brown Derby <ref name= "Korkis"> httphttps://yourfirstvisitd23.net/2015/08/21com/a-fridayto-visitz/hollywood-withbrown-jimderby-korkis-figment-and-dreamfinderthe/ </ref>, and in one of Starring Rolls restaurants. Finally, the scenes he was to show he domesticated dragonsland also housed the shops: Oscar's Classic Car Souvenirs, even holding Movieland Memorabilia, Sid Cashuenga's One- of-a baby one. As -Kind, Crossroads of the imagination attraction developedWorld, Professor Marvel was transformed into DreamfinderMickey's of Hollywood, who Baxter described as "A Santa Claus-type who is wise and older and knows all the great thingsThe Darkroom, a great thinker.

The duo would evolve into Dreamfinder and Figment]]

{{Quotation|Tony Outside of a series of changes to Hollywood Boulevard's shops and entertainment (Baxtersee below) was in with , the Kodak folks as being potential sponsors for some kind area has seen a relatively few number of pavilionchanges. He ran into my office On May 2, 1993, the Theater of the Stars was closed in order to make space for the middle entrance to the new [[Sunset Boulevard]] area (a relocated Theater of this meeting and saidthe Stars would open on Sunset Boulevard in 1994) <ref> http://www.studioscentral.com/column/why-its-there/theater-stars </ref>. Subsequently, on September 28, 2001, Disney constructed a 122 ft. Sorcerer'Can I borrow Marvel and s Hat (the dragon?' And he grabbed magical hat that Mickey wore in the model and took it Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Fantasia) in to them to show it to them front of the Chinese Theater <ref name= "allearsKorkis"> http://allears.net/ae/issue722issue798.htm </ref> .}}Built as a part of the 100 Years of Magic celebration, the Sorcerer's Hat was originally built as a temporary structure. Underneath the hat, guests could find interactive kiosks that taught them about the life of Walt Disney. Although Disney claimed the hat would be a temporary addition, the structure would eventually supersede the Earful Tower as the then Disney-MGM Studio's primary icon <ref name= "Korkis"/>.

Kodak liked the idea of Dreamfinder and the imagination conceptIn January 2015, but they wanted to know if they got the dragon too Sorcerer's Hat was finally demolished <ref name= "allears"/>http://www. This request, led Baxter and his team develop a second character for orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/the attraction- Figmentdaily-disney/os-disney-hollywood-studios-hat-gone-story.html </ref>. The structure's removal restored the sight line that allowed guests to see the Chinese Theater as they looked down Hollywood Boulevard.

The formation of Figment began when Tony Baxter was watching an episode of Magnum P.I. On February 5, 2017, Starring Rolls Cafe closed <ref name= "E82"> http:/>/www. In the episode, Magnum had hidden a goat disneyfoodblog.com/2017/02/04/news-starring-rolls-cafe-in Higgins’ yard, and the animal had predictably torn up the vegetation. When Higgins suggested that a goat was ruining his yard, Magnum replied that it was all just a figment of his imagination. Higgins’ response that “Figments don’t eat grass!” gave Baxter the inspiration for his new character, named Figment -hollywood-studios-closing-february-5th/ <ref name= "E82"/>. Tony would later explain that Figment was a character that everyone knows about, but has never been visualized<ref name= "E82"/>.

Taking ==Former Attractions==[[The Great Movie Ride]]-This opening day attraction let guests board trams and travel through some inspiration from the dragon in of the Gallery most popular movies of Illusion attraction, Figment was initially sketched by Steve Kirk, who turned in a rough drawing of the character <ref name= "intercot"> http://www.intercot.com/edc/Imagination/jfacts.html </ref>. Imagineer X Atencio then slightly altered the drawing to, "make the character lovable, in a way that kids could relate to" <ref name= "intercot"/>all time. With their two main characters designed, Imagineers set The ride lasted about finding voices for the duo. Although finding a voice for Dreamfinder 22 minutes and was relatively simple (with actor Chuck McCann filling the role <ref> http://allears.net/ae/issue722.htm </ref>) finding located inside a voice for Figment proved to be much more difficult. Disney had men, women, boys and girls all audition for the role, but no voice was deemed suitable <ref name= "intercot"/>. Eventually, they found Figment's voice in veteran voice actor Billy Barty, who was deemed perfect for the role <ref name= "intercot"/>. When talking about the role replica of Figment, Tony Baxter said:[[Image:GalleryConcpetGrumman’s Chinese Theatre.jpg|400px|thumb|Gallery of Illusion concept art featuring Professor Marvel and his dragon]]

==Shops==[[Image:TheDarkroom.jpg|thumb|350px|The plot of the attraction itself would have guests meeting Dreamfinder in the opening Flight to Imagination sceneDarkroom on Hollywood Boulevard.

After this second scene, guests would explore ]]'''Movieland Memorabilia'''- Located just before the power of imagination with Dreamfinder and Figment.

This ending was eventually deemed unfeasible, after problems with the attractions ride system<ref name= "interview"/>. Furthermore, Imagineers initially wanted to give guests the options of buying their photograph by using a digital camera to print out the photo right after the ride ended<ref name= "interview"/>. Kodak bristled at the idea of using digital as opposed to chemical photography, and the idea was dropped. [[Image:JourneyConceptArt.jpg|350px|thumb|Journey Into Imagination concept art.

Tony Baxter has since asserted that the attraction was up and running, yet Disney executives did not think it would be reliable enough, and they were concerned that a ride breakdown would cause a bad impression, thus the opening was delayed <ref> Koenig, David.

Finally, on March 5, 1983, the Journey Into Imagination attraction opened to the public <ref> https://d23.com/a'''Cover Story'''-to-z/journey-into-imagination/ </ref>This medium size shop sells a plethora of toys and plush merchandise. At the attraction's opening, Kodak CEO Colby Chandler stated:

From '''Keystone Clothiers'''- As the time it opened until it closed for a massive refurbishment in 1998store's name suggests, Journey Into Imagination did not see any major changesthis location is stocked full of apparel and accessories.

==Attraction Plot==The original Journey Into Imagination was a dark rides which focused on human imagination'''Adrian & Edith's Head to Toe'''- Like Keystone Clothiers, this shop sells apparel for both men and women.

After making their way through the queue'''Oscar's Super Service'''- Originally known as Oscar's Classic Car Souvenirs, guests would board their ride vehicles. The vehicles were trains consisting of four cars. As the vehicles began to movethis location now features stroller, guests could hear a voice singing the attractions theme song, "One Little Spark"locker and EVC rental. In ===Former Shops==='''Sweet Success'''- Opening with the clouds to their left, the shadow rest of a flying contraption could be seen sucking up various objects. As the song continuedDisney-MGM Studios on May 1, the clouds would part revealing Dreamfinder as the pilot of the flying contraption known as the Dreamcatcher1989, this shop sold specialized candy and other treats. Dreamfinder and guests would then fly together at the same speed as he introduced himself:

{{Quotation| Oh'''Sights and Sounds'''-Presented by Selah, hello therethis store allowed guests to make their own music videos. So glad you could come along. I am Sights and Sounds opened with the Dreamfinder. Ah, ha, ha. Musical notes! What delightful melodies those will make. I love these flights rest of fancy. Searching the universe for soundspark on May 1, colors, ideas, anything that sparks the imagination.}}1989 and closed in 1990

As Dreamfinder continued to sing, "'''Sid Cahuenga’s 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. 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 -Of-A-Kind Antiques and yellow <br>Horns Curios'''- This store sold one of a steer <br>But a lovable fellow!<br>From head to tail<br>He's royal purple pigment<br>And therekind movie memorabilia. Opened May 1, Voila!<br>You've got a Figment<br>A figment of imagination!}}1989 and closed November 11, 2013.

Figment would then appear alongside Dreamfinder'''LA Prop & Cinema Store''''- Opened May 11, telling him that (Figment) was perfect. Dreamfinder would respond that Figment still needed a "dash of childish delight". Dreamfinder would then show Figment the "guests" that had joined them. Together they discussed how everybody could use their imagination. As the Dreamfinder 1991 and Figment began to sing about various thingsclosed June 15, the objects of their imagination would appear2014. They would then begin to imagine all kinds of things. Dreamfinder imagined a stormy nightThis store sold children's apparel, plush 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 was heard). Figment then imagined a rainbow, that he could color withtoys. He continued imagining:

{{Quotation| "Numbers, letters, papers for writing'''Calling Dick Tracey'''- This store allowed guests to film themselves in the world of Dick Tracy. CostumesIt also sold a plethora of Dick Tracey merchandise. Operational from May 26, make-up1990 until January 12, stages for lighting. Teardrops, laughter..1991."}}

Dreamfinder would then ask Figment about science, to which he would respond: {{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, Dreamfinder had to cut him off. On the flying machine, the world "full" lit up and 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, Dreamfinder told him that it was never far away, when they used their imagination. Guests would then travel with 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 Dreamfinder and Figment stored all of their ideas. At this point, guests could see Dreamfinder's bag, hooked up to a machine known as 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 machine was. To the left of the device, was gold container labeled, "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 pot pouring coffee right above guest's heads* A chest labeled "Fog Bank"* A box, which opened to reveal numerous clapping hands* Rainbow colored cylinders* Mini lightning bolts and a tornado which created a "brain storm"* A neon sign which read "Neon"* Molecular structures* Bags which held the warm North Wind and the cold South Wind. They would blast guests when the ride vehicles went by.* Barrels with the word "laugh" written on them (get itPacific Electric Pictures'''- 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 Arts scene. Here, spouts poured "Sun Rays," "Molten Lava," and "Gem Stones", which Dreamfinder 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, Dreamfinder would sing: {{Quotation|"Mix red and gold<br>From autumn flowers<br>Purple and blue<br>From twilight hours<br>Green summer hills<br>And rainbows play a part, ha, ha<br>A painter's brush, <br>A work of art"}} As guests continued on, they could see various 3D animals and flowers, 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 rotating under a giant flower. 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, Dreamfinder could be seen playing a haunting tune on a volcano shaped organ. The organ was unique, in that it had a typewriter for a keyboard, instead of the standard musical keyboard. As Dreamfinder played, lava and smoke would erupt Operating from the top of the volcano. The smoke would then turn into words such asMay 1, "Horror1989 until 1990," "Danger," and "Thrill". In this room, Dreamfinder sang:[[Image:Onceuponatime.jpg|400px|thumb|The words "Once Upon a Time" led shop allowed guests to a haunted castle.]]{{Quotation|One chilling word<br>Like shriek or killer<br>Can spark the mind<br>To start a thriller<br>Add some more sparks<br>Like dagger, blood, and gory<br>And then,<br>A mystery story!<br>}} Figment could then once again be seen. He would be holding three blocks which spelled out the world "CAT". Behind him, a shadow of cat could be seen. Figment would then turn the "C" to a "B", to create the word "BAT". When he turned the block, the shadow would change into one of a bat. At this point, guests would would enter another room with large rock words. Words here included, "Avalanche," "Tumble," "Sway," and "Shake". The words would perform the action that they depicted (ie. the word "Avalanche" would look like it was about to fall over). Guests would then see the word "Surprise" light up on the wall, before a room full of fireworks was revealed. The tub of fireworks shells on guests right, would explode in the area above them. The fireworks would spell out words such as "Twinkle", "Flash", and "Sparkle. The crackling fireworks would then give way to a star-field where a red genie would appear and disappear.   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" could be found. 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 its 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 titled 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 own VHS version of a make-up mirrorHollywood spectacular. In his hand was a mask of Dreamfinder's face. A sign above him read, "A Brand New Show!". Dreamfinder (unseen) and Figment then began to sing again:{{Quotation|'''Dreamfinder:''' Some happy songs '''Figment''': Some snappy dances '''Together:''' with laughs and footlights all aglow '''Dreamfinder:''' The sparks ignite, ha! '''Figment:''' A Brand new show! '''Dreamfinder''' (with Figment echoing): Some happy songs <br> Some snappy dances<br>Costumes and sets<br>Spoofs and romances<br>With laughs and tears<br> '''Together:''' And footlights all aglow <br>The sparks ignite '''Dreamfinder:''' Ha! A brand new show '''Figment:''' Yes sir!}} Guests would then see 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 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 Dreamfinder wearing a white lab coat and turning a large microscope. 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. Dreamfinder then spoke saying: {{Quotation|"Technology, like a newfound potion<br>Allows us to marvel at mysteries of motion<br>Water dances where visions begin<br>Science reveals a life within<br>}} At this point the microscope was used to show all of the living organisms within the water. 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. Dreamfinder then concluded: {{Quotation|"Skyrockets soar towards outer space<br>Imagine yourself in an infinite place"}}[[Image:Figmentasturnaut.jpg|400px|thumb|Figment hitchhiking in his astronaut suit.]] After 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 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 Dreamfinder would then once talk. {{Quotation|'''Figment:''' Oh, there are so many places to dream about.<br> '''Dreamfinder:''' We can visit worlds that were, that could be, and those of fantasy and reality.<br> '''Figment:''' What's next Dreamfinder?<br> '''Dreamfinder:''' Why, imagination can take us over the rainbow and to worlds beyond.<br> '''Figment:''' Boy, I wish I could be an astronaut! I bet I can use imagination to discover all kinds of new things.<br> '''Dreamfinder:''' Of course! It's your key to unlock the hidden wonders of our world}} Guests then passed through a giant star and into the attractions final scene. In the final room, guests could see Figment sitting on a film role surrounded Replaced by 8 screensCalling Dick Tracey. The screens showed Figment: * Dancing * Flying as a superhero * Weight lifting * As a scientist * Mountain climbing  * Riding a wooden horse * Sailing * Sitting on a treasure chest dressed as a pirate Continuing on, guests then saw 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. Dreamfinder would then give one final speech as guests disembarked, reminding them to visit the [[ImageWorks]].  {{Quotation| And what about you folks?
