Dreamfinder, who is behind a movie camera, gave the riders one last inspiring message and told them to use their newly found sparks of imagination in the ImageWorks and the on-ride photo was shown on a screen next to the camera.
As the riders' pictures were taken, they saw Figment surrounded by several movie screens of him being a scientist, a mountain climber, a pirate, a superhero, a tap dancer, a ship captain, a cowboy and an athlete. The ride then entered the final show scene. The last of the rooms, Science, featured a large machine that Dreamfinder was operating that took a closer look at the workings of nature such as the growth of plants, the formation of crystals from minerals and looking into space.Īt the end, Dreamfinder told Figment and the audience that Imagination is the key to unlocking the hidden wonders of the world. The Performing Arts had Figment trying on costumes backstage while Dreamfinder conducted a laser light show in the manner of an orchestra conductor. The Literature room was mostly focused on suspenseful tales and had Dreamfinder playing a massive organ with words coming out of it, words that turned into their meanings, a massive book featuring the raven from Edgar Allan Poe's poem cawing menacingly and books of horrible monsters Figment tried to keep closed. The Art room was mostly white colored, and had a large painting Dreamfinder was making using a large fiber optic paint brush, a carousel with giant carousel animals and a pot of rainbows held by Figment. After leaving the storage room, the ride continued through several rooms representing Art, Literature, the Performing Arts and Science. Also in the room there are numerous objects including boxed applause, a plasma ball, and a birdcage of musical notes. The omnimovers leave the side of the Dream Mobile and enter the Dreamport's storage room, which includes a massive contraption for sorting ideas.
This opening scene allows you to meet Dreamfinder, understand how he created Figment, and get to know Figment's personality, so at the end of those four minutes you know the characters. But in a ride like Imagination, you're not familiar with the characters going into it. If you're telling the story of Little Mermaid or Snow White, everyone already knows who they are, what they talk like, how they sing, etc. Regarding the scene where Figment is introduced, Baxter said: When the idea bag is full, Dreamfinder declares that the ideas need to be emptied in the "Dreamport" which, as he says, is "never far away when you use your imagination".
Soon, he creates a figment of his imagination: "two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a lovable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, voilà! You've got a Figment!" Both Dreamfinder and the dragon Figment (voiced by Billy Barty) imagine things to fill the "idea bag". In the next scene, the riders come right next to this vessel and the pilot, a red-bearded man, dressed in a blue suit and top hat, introduces himself as the Dreamfinder (voiced by Chuck McCann) and saying that he uses his vehicle (called the Dream Mobile or Dream Catcher by some fans) to collect dreams and ideas to create all sorts of new things. It began with the omnimover vehicles "floating" in the clouds and seeing the silhouette of a strange blimp mixed with a vacuum cleaner and hearing the humming and singing of its pilot. The original attraction opened on Maand was the creation of Tony Baxter and Steve Kirk. The Dreamfinder ( Chuck McCann and Ron Schneider) and Figment ( Billy Barty) History 1983–1998: Journey into Imagination Journey into Imagination Originally opened on March 3, 1983, its original and current version feature the small purple dragon named Figment as well as the song "One Little Spark", composed by the Sherman Brothers.
