The section was closed along with the original "Journey Into Imagination" ride in 1998, and was never re-opened. The entire upstairs section remains closed, however some of the ImageWorks equipment is still in place. During the testing of the Kim Possible "Kimmunicator" game, guests were able to see many remenants of this area. It may be removed if that game is finalized in that area. As the testing of that game is now finished, guests can only see the area by taking the Future World behind the scenes tour. ImageWorks exhibits:
