TEAM SPACE BRAINSTORMING THREAD

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

What else do you want me to do

If you want to, you could write up a couple sentences of conclusion for the project.

 

[Brer Panther]

Is it okay if we have it close early? Kind of like Cranium Command? Like “Due to waning popularity and less-than-lackluster audience reviews, Forecast Follies 2.0 closed permanently in 2007. The attraction was not demolished, however, and remained in the pavilion, inaccessible to guests, until the construction of The Rocketeer attraction in 2025.”

Sure, sure! If it's that bad, it shouldn't be one of those Disney attractions that despite being crappy never go away (such as Stitch's Great Escape was until 2016) and the "leaving it just sitting there inaccessible to guests" thing is very much what Disney would've done.

Speaking of Forecast Follies, I've whipped up some concept art for the original version of the show...

"leaving it just sitting there inaccessible to guests" thing is very much what Disney would've done.

Especially at Epcot

 

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

What do you mean

Could you write a conclusion to put on the last page of the website? Something that kind of reminds people of the theme and says “Thank you for reading” or something? You don’t have to if you don’t want to, but that’s something you could do if you’d like.

 

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

I may end up using this when submitting the project, but I may not. We’ll see what happens.

What do you mean by reminding people of the theme

 

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

What do you mean by reminding people of the theme

Just mentioning some stuff about how guests can ”take flight” at the pavilion and such.

 

[tcool123]

What do you mean by reminding people of the theme

like how the world above pavilion takes fun and edutainment to new heights, reiterate how its very much anout aviation with things like Soarin while still having nods to past elements with the weather storyline in the Rocketeer ride

I love this shows team unity

I would def say have it unofficially close in 2017 then officially close in 2020 along with SGE, ROL and Primeval Whirl due to the pandemic. It sat dormant for years acting as storage for the pavilion, and the lobby/queue acting as a thrown together rest/seating area

 

[TheSquirrel]

At The Worlds Above Pavilion, we want you to take flight. We have a key component of the Sky weather, in the pavilion with Forecast Follies And now the Rocketeer.
It’s time to go.
Goodbye

It needs editing and changing with your opinion
That would be great.

Coolio. I’ll edit it and put it on the site for you.

As part of their partnership of the pavilion, a corporate lounge for Boeing has been incorporated into the design. Employees and their families are granted exclusive access to the facilities during their visit to EPCOT Center. The main entrance itself is located tucked away in the left front corner of the pavilion structure. The lounge also features an additional entrance on the second floor providing easy access to the Aviator’s Lounge and other attractions.

A small check-in area with blue carpet and historical photos of Boeing aircraft greeted guests along with a receptionist who will check for credentials. A standout feature of the entry is the reception desk built from a part of the nose of an old Boeing aircraft. Once checked in, guests have the option of taking the elevator up to the lounge, or to use a back entrance into the Take Flight queue to easily access the attraction.

The lounge itself provides a nice clean design with several comfortable seating areas and a small kitchen offering free beverages and snacks. Many of the lounge items take inspiration from the famous 747’s lounges in the sky. A history of Boeing logos, since its first iteration in 1928, adorn the walls in the form of unique art pieces. The lounge’s location in the “wings” of the pavilion also offers plenty of lighting through the many glass panels as well as one-way glass viewing into the Take Flight attraction from above.

Guests entering The World Above will gradually have their attention drawn to their right after surveying the open and unique landscape in front of them, finding the quick service food option Tastemosphere. As the name would suggest, this dining spot offers up numerous tasty menu options, combined with an edutainment element intrinsic to EPCOT Center.

With the kitchen and order area set towards the back of the space, the dining area remains largely open providing easy sightlines across and out into the pavilion. Multiple fun design elements tie back into the study of the atmosphere. Any wall sections in the space are painted in a subtle gradient style representing the various layers of the atmosphere with visual representation of the various flight capabilities within each. Each of the layers of the atmosphere have additional representation in sections of the dining space via small hanging mobiles, children’s placemats with details on each and the carpet itself designed in a pattern with the exosphere at the entrance taking you to the troposphere at the order counter.

​

The menu itself offers several lighthearted and on theme options providing an all-around, quick, and fun meal for the family. A number of light and airy options are available for those needing a small bit of sustenance. Guests needing something a little heartier will find several unique, and layered options on both the entrée and dessert menu.

1996 Change

• History of Aviation Walkthrough & Theater Film with a Ludwig Von Drake tie in

Is there a reason why we chose 1996 specifically for the update of "The Sky was the Limit"?

Well, I guess I'm used to getting the seat by the toilets!

A slight suggestion if it’s easy for you to do is name the 5 layer cake the 5 sphere cake to tie into the five spheres of earth?

I think its a year or two after the sucess of the Circle of Life takeover at the Land

Yep, I can do that. Easy enough change. I was going for the layers of atmosphere, but I'm good with either.

Have to fix it any way as I misspelled sandwich (doh!)

 

[MickeyWaffleCo.]

Alright, I'm uploading Wonderful, Wonderful Weather as I type this. I may not be able to record the Take Flight theme in time, but I will have something ready and on the site by tomorrow night. Either an already-existing song or a custom one.

@Disney Dad 3000 Do you need your writing put on the site for you?
