It took me awhile to get an idea of how the "turntable" part of JIY,
the one toward the beginning of the ride, worked, and Disney did such
a good job with that part as well as the whole ride presentation, and
I think the "turntable" part was a crucially important part of the
ride, as that was where riders became acquainted with the key
characters of the ride.

It was a shock of a surprise to me the day I returned to Epcot,
finding that silly and unnecessary changes had been made to JIY, even
the new music that was produced for the attraction didn't have the
same charm as the original one. And what was with that awful shade of
pinkish-red they made the building?

You are right, the new Figment is indeed in need of an attitude
adjustment, for the better.

I did however, like the changes and additions to the post-ride area,
some of the original, Imageworks stuff mixed into there along with
the new would've been nice too.
