Sorry to hear that. I will keep her in my thoughts.

My interest in this project was in developing a "new" Horizons type pavilion for Epcot. But @spacemt354 said that perhaps it would fit into this project's Progressland. Since this is armchair imagineering, not likely to get built in my lifetime... ;) I said that would be fine.The next element...

I was thinking of a rapid ascent.

Yes, @StevenU we've been discussing the inclusion of a "speed lift", as you said for an added thrill, to take trackless ride vehicles up six or seven stories near the middle of the ride (think the way the elevator system in the Tower of Terror bounces you up before dropping you). We've also been...

I love all of the creative artwork. Good work everyone. I'm better at finding pictures to tell a story... not that good at drawing.

My first thought of the morning is that perhaps Century 22 is misleading. It doesn't start for another 83 years, and I'm not sure if we want to create a vision of the "future" that far away (in truth, it's already been done in the Star Trek series), but rather one that guests can more easily...

Thanks, QuilPenn! We want you to continue to chime in with your comments and ideas. Good luck with you show (and future shows).

Yes, thanks for sharing! I rode this so many times between 1983 and 1999. It was my favorite attraction in Epcot. Honestly, most of the scenes depicted after the Omnimax movie are still relevant today, though I'm sure they would need updated with new AA's and script adjustments to take account...

Thanks for your hard work on this. Let me take time to digest all of it. By tomorrow, I hope to start putting information on a website for this project.

A few early morning thoughts: What I'm sure we are both thinking about is the use of the family throughout the original Horizons ride, which was very much like an extension of the family in Carousel of Progress. So perhaps we stick with that idea, and rather than worry about those similarities -...

I completely understand. I'll try to give it some thought too and we can compare notes.

I believe any portion of the "stick" that might show above the rock face wall has been enhanced with vine-like material.

@spacemt354 My next two days are quasi-busy (I have a writers' critique group on Tuesday and have to get prepared). I'm thinking about creating a website for this project and would, of course, loop you in as an additional editor for the site. Maybe if we get our ideas all in one location we can...

Here is my first take on the configuration of the pavilion.Entry and exit would be from open archway areas. The ride vehicles would be visible through the exit archway. I envision using a trackless ride vehicle seating 8 people (four people per row). Guests would have to wear seat belts. As the...

I'm researching the trackless ride system and trying to figure out how best to handle the idea of the "speed lift" at the end of the ride. I'm also trying to do that while at the same time ensure a decent capacity for the ride. Doing the math and figuring 1800 people per minute, which is also...

Here are a series of quotes that I envision being used as part of the queue. They would be randomly projected onto a flat wall as guests enter the queue. These and many others would be part of the rotating quotes, so that even if a guest is visiting the pavilion for multiple times they might...

@S.P.E.W Thanks for following this thread. I'd love to hear any ideas you may have.

@spacemt354 It's looking more and more like this is you and me working on this project. I'll catch up with you later.

Future Theater design based on prior description.

Have you seen Martin's tribute video to Spaceship Earth? The first 15 minutes is fascinating since it covers the evolution of their design and shows lots of video about the construction I had never seen before. Spaceship Earth is an amazing piece of engineering.
