[2][3] 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.
Soon, he creates a figment of his imagination: "two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a lovable fellow!
Both Dreamfinder and the dragon Figment (voiced by Billy Barty) imagine things to fill the "idea bag".
[4] Regarding the scene where Figment is introduced, Baxter said: 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.
[5]The omnimovers leave the side of the Dream Mobile and enter the Dreamport's storage room, which includes a massive contraption for sorting ideas.
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 Performing Arts had Figment trying on costumes backstage while Dreamfinder conducted a laser light show in the manner of an orchestra conductor.
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.
At the end, Dreamfinder told Figment and the audience that Imagination is the key to unlocking the hidden wonders of the world.
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.
Those activities included interactive exhibits such as giant kaleidoscopes, pin-screens, a rainbow corridor, and a drama stage which gave guests the opportunity to put themselves in their own movie.
Dr. Nigel Channing (played by Eric Idle reprising his role from Honey, I Shrunk The Audience) hosted this version.
Also present were Philip Brainard from Flubber and Dean Higgins (from Dexter Riley films)[4] The ride began with guests going through the scanner and being told that they had no imagination.
Then Channing sends riders through the Institute's labs including Sound, Illusion, Color, Gravity, and Connections.
Figment's appearances in the experience were reduced to cameos in the queue movies, a constellation in the connection lab and at the end of the ride, where he is heard but is shooed off by Channing.
[7] As of early 2012, sponsorship of the area was assumed by ColorVision, a company that operates green-screen photo kiosks in many major theme parks.
[8] In June 2016 the ImageWorks staircase area of the Imagination Pavilion reopened as a lounge for Disney Vacation Club members.
