It's REALLY cute. I had virtually no hope for it, but it's really, really cute. You really won't recognize it as the abomination that was there before it... And Figment is EVERYWHERE a bunch of animatronics from the original ride, as well as CGI, and statues, and paintings it's so cute... Really, I highly recommend the ride (never thought I'd say THAT about the Imagination Pavillion again! )
