Journey into Your Imagination
In this new attraction, you are to take part in the testing of another brilliant invention from the labs of the Imagination Institute (The imaginary scientific foundation housed in the Imagination pavilion.) This amazing piece of equipment, dubbed the Imagination Scanner, can reveal any ideas your brain may be coming up with at that very moment. Your vehicle train moves through a red laser grid that "scans" your thoughts, and you arrive at a set of mirrors. Then, a la Haunted Mansion, your semi-transparent "ideas" (a question mark, a burnt out lightbulb, a vacancy sign, etc.) appear to be floating above your head. And with this, Dr. Nigel Channing, your host and narrator for the attraction and chairman of the Imagination Institute, proclaims that you are to be sent through the four sensory labs to enhance your imagining ability. First comes sound: You pull into a pitch black room where the noise of a freight train is heard in the distance getting closer and louder, until finally it is nearly deafening and rushes over you with a gust of wind. In the Illusion labs, a bird is seen swinging in a cage but disappears when you reach the other side, a brick crashes through an invisible pane of glass, a fish swims outside of it's aquarium, and a scene seemingly distorted through a lens turns out to actually look that way. At the Color portion, the panels on walls surrounding your vehicle change their colors and you are asked to imagine what these colors represent (although appropriate sounds accompany them... Wait, is there any imagining really going on here!?) The last lab is that of Gravity where you are sent through a house upside down. Water drips up into the sink above, an open toilet flushes above your head, and steam falls from a boiling kettle. At this point you reenter the scanner, the red lasers flash over you, and the lights dim. Suddenly everything goes black, and there is a bright flash and a burst of air as you hear shattering glass. You have blown the scanner with all of your new ideas! Nigel then encourages you to visit the ImageWorks labs to try out your bigger, better imagination. Here, some activities include conducting a symphony by moving your arms, and finding out what sound pictures make.

7/8/2002: Attraction Update
Reaction to this version of the ride being somewhat less than kind, Journey into YOUR Imagination went down late last year for a major retooling. It reopened this summer. Figment now has an extensive presence in the ride, and the beloved song "One Little Spark" from the original Journey into Imagination has returned. More details to come as soon as I can find a good description of the new ride, or experience it myself.

Trivia:
Figment, the mascot of the orignal Journey into Imagination attraction, makes several cameos in the ride, including a holographic picture and videos in the waiting line, and a animated version congratulating you for imagining so much at the end of the ride.
Dr. Nigel Channing, (played by British actor Eric Idle), also has a role in Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.

Honey, I Shrunk the Audience
In this 3-D adventure, Wayne Szalinski has been chosen to recieve the Imagination Institute award for his ingenious shrinking ray, and you have been invited to the ceremony. However, as they often do in the "Honey, I Shrunk..." movies, things go awry and drastic measures have to be taken to return everything to normal.
After being forced to watch a horrible pre-show sponsored by Kodak (Read: A 10 minute commercial to buy their film) in which little happy children play while having their pictures taken, all to the tune of squawky elevator music; Dr. Channing appears on the screen and tells you about the award and why Szalinski is recieving it, and you are instructed to enter the auditorium. As soon as everyone finds their seats and has their glasses on, it is discovered that the guest of honor is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Wayne rips through the fabric of the curtain in a miniature hovercraft; he has shrunken himself to demonstrate it. He flys directly to you, and tries to let you see the remote control that works the contraption. But he drops it, and the hovercraft flies out of control, ripping back through the curtain and crashing. And all this before the show even begins! Other close calls include having hudreds of mice brush past your legs, being attacked by wild animals, and of course being shrunk to the size of small insects. There's even a surprise ending involving the Szalinski's dog...

Trivia:
Wayne Szalinski is played by movie actor Rick Moranis, who also played the role in all 3 movies: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Honey, I Blew Up the Baby, and Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves.
The action of this show (as determined by the age's of Wayne's children) takes place between the 2nd and 3rd movies. The young Adam, who drops the mouse into the Replicator, was the baby blown up in the second movie.
Cast members working 3D attractions at WDW are instructed not to refer to the special eyewear as 3D glasses; In this and MGM's Muppet*Vision 4D they are called "Safety Goggles", and at Animal Kingdom's It's Tough to Be a Bug they are called "Bug Eyes".

The Land
A abstract mural representing the layers of Earth's soil welcomes you to this ecological themed pavilion. The Land is all about teaching humans to live in harmony with nature. In the Living With the Land boat ride (), a tour guide takes guests through three distinct ecological systems: Rainforest, Desert, and Prarie. After hearing about each of these systems, you are taken through the 6 acres of greenhouses in the pavilion, learning about landmark agricultural experiments being done there along the way. There is also a Behind the Seeds walking tour ($6 adults, $4 children) that can be taken for an even more extensive look at the facilities. The Circle of Life is presented in the Harvest Theater on the upper level of the pavilion and stars Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa from The Lion King. Timon and Pumbaa are planning to build the Hakuna Matata Resort, and begin clearing the jungle to do so. Simba finds them, and tells them what his father told him about what happens great circle of life is forgotten. In the Audio-Animatronic show Food Rocks!, Füd Wrapper (Complete with a nutrition label) hosts a "corny" (No pun intended) but enjoyable benefit concert for healthy nutrition. Many styles of music are represented, and all songs are geared toward specific aspects of a proper diet. In The Garden Grill Restaurant, healthy cuisine is served family style while guests watch the boat ride through a special window and are visited by the characters. The Sunshine Season Food Fair is a food court style restaurant surrounding a fountain over which hot air balloons float. Barbeque, pasta, soup, and other good-for-you food items are served here, along with desert. Nestlé (The Land's sponsor) chocolates and gifts for the garden are sold at The Land Gift Shop.

Trivia:
The soil mural at the entrance is constructed of glass, tile, and marble.
Food grown in The Land is served in restaurants around Epcot.
Some scenes in The Circle of Life were taken from the prvious film shown there, Simbiosis.
Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, and Ernie Sabella provide the voices for Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa in The Circle of Life.
Stars in Food Rocks! include the Peach Boys, Chubby Cheddar, and Pita Gabriel. (Hey, wait a minute...)

The Living Seas
One of the world's largest aquariums, The Living Seas contains a variety of underwater plant and animal life in an environment designed to look like a coral reef. After viewing nautical memorabilia like one of the first ever diving suits, and props from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, guests see a short film on the forming of the oceans and board Hydrolators to dive into the fictious SeaBase Alpha. Taking a short ride through the base provides good views of the main tank, containing most of the plants, fish, and even sharks. Disembarking your vehicle, you step into the main part of the base. From here you can see displays on new deep water diving suits, a remote control sub able to survive extreme pressure, and more views of the main tank. A smaller tank, barred off from the main one, holds the dolphins and smaller fish that swim between the bars. One exhibit allows guests to see the endangered manatee up close, both above and below water. Fresh seafood is served in an underwater setting at the Coral Reef restaurant. Aquatic themed gifts and jewelry are sold at The Living Seas Gift Shop. Upon exiting, guests must board the hydrolators once more to return to the surface.

Trivia:
The divider in the tank has not always been there. It was put in place to protect the sharks and sting rays from the dolphins! They would chase the sharks and play catch with the rays, usually ending with the ray being tossed out of the tank. Don't mess with Flipper...
There are currently 3 manatees living in the tank, and they all eat over 20 heads of lettuce a day.
The Living Seas is large enough for Spaceship Earth to float in and still have 30 feet of space on either side.
