Figment Ride at EPCOT Shuts After Breakdown as Guest Shares Backstage Photos

Disney has not provided a cause for the stoppage, and the My Disney Experience app continues to list the attraction as temporarily closed.

Overview

  • Reddit user u/Ptucker212 reported being stuck near the finale and posted two images taken inside Journey Into Imagination With Figment.
  • The photos show a track junction used to route vehicles backstage, with house lights revealing curtains, walls, and other infrastructure.
  • Reporting noted the ride had not reopened at least two hours after the images were shared, with the app displaying a "temporarily closed" status.
  • No push notification about an extended closure has been sent, which outlets cautioned sometimes suggests Disney expects a same-day reopening.
  • The incident lands against a long-debated history for the attraction, which removed Figment in 1999 and reinstated him in 2002 after guest backlash.
