Major Technical Difficulty Leaves Disney Guest With "Broken Imagination"

Located in EPCOT, Journey Into Imagination With Figment is a fan-favorite attraction for many. After Guests experience Journey Into Imagination With Figment, they exit into the ImageWorks area, where they can further explore their imagination with interactive games and activities.

Well, the imagination was broken for some as a technical difficulty occurred within one of the interactive activities.

If you have never been to ImageWorks, Disney describes this section of the theme park as:

After your Journey Into Imagination with Figment, stay and play with sensory activities and games that spark creativity.

Lead an orchestra by waving your arms in the air, create a symphony of sound by jumping on “Stepping Tones,” record yourself in super-slow motion and design your own dragon and email it to your friends.

What if… every day could be this fun?

On a recent visit to ImageWorks, which again, is where Guests can explore and play with sensory activities and games, an odd technical difficulty popped up, leaving Guests without any imagination.

Disney fan and Twitter user, Andrew, shared a photo of the broken Imagination game, which showed a Windows message:

Womp womp. I guess my imagination’s broken? #Imagination #Figment #Epcot

Andrew replied to Kelly, further explaining where this technical difficulty was happening, which was at ImageWorks, just outside of the Figment attraction:

This is at one of the interactive things in ImageWorks — the one where you wave your hand and it makes music? Is broken with either a Windows 95 or Windows 98 error message in the year of our Lordt 2022. XP had the curved logo.
