Imagination Pavilion Attractions
"Journey into Imagination with Figment" features the mischievous but fun loving Figment, who helps Dr. Nigel Channing, played by Eric Idle, guide you through a tour of imagination using sight, smell and sound. Along the way, you encounter many surprises, many created by Figments inability to follow the rules. Dr. Nigel Channing eventually gives in and decides that he will let his mind be carefree just like Figment.
"Honey I Shrunk the Audience" is a 3D show that features Professor Wayne Szalinski, played by Rick Moranis, who is receiving the "Inventor of the Year" award. Dr. Nigel Channing even makes an appearance as the host for the event. Dr. Szalinski shows that his invention indeed works, by shrinking the entire audience. You are then able to see the world in a whole new way, and are subject to various 3D effects that include snakes and mice. The effects aren't limited to sight only. The seats move and there are also some smoke effects. Everything turns back to normal in the end; well, at least normal for the Szalinski's.
At "Imageworks", you have the chance to use some hands on equipment. You can send funny emails and pictures of yourself to people as well as become an orchestra leader and create your own symphony using stepping stones. In this area, you can also purchase many souvenirs. They range from having glass blocks that can be laser carved to feature an image of your choosing, to the run of the mill books and frames as well as plenty of Figment merchandise.
There is no better place to get the imagination stirring that here at "Imageworks". Be sure to take your time and enjoy all there is to offer!
