Description
The original "Journey into Imagination" attraction opened on March 5, 1983. It began with the omnimover vehicles βfloatingβ 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. In the next scene the riders come right next to this vessel and the pilot, an old man with a red beard dressed in a blue suit and top hat, introduces himself as the Dreamfinder and saying that he uses his vehicle, called the Dream Catcher, to collect dreams and ideas to create all sorts of new things.Soon he creates a figment of his imagination: "Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a loveable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, Voila! You've got a Figment!" He aptly names is creation Figment!
Loved these guys as a kid! What a lot of memories this piece brought back! And the music from the Sherman Brothers is always memorable!
