I told myself I wasn't going to do multiple posts in a row, but it's been a couple days, so I thought I'd make this little reminder. My above post is just an idea, and is in no way a final reflection of the project, we are still very much in the brainstorming phase, and I would very much like...

I would like to apologize in advance if this post comes across as pessimistic or snippy. My play opens tonight, and I'm dealing with a bit of anxiety as a result, so I might be a tad distracted. Believe me I am not trying to come across that way. From what I've seen on Youtube, (the only way...

As a quick thought, it occurs to me that this new Horizons could be the culmination of a full day in Future World, You start off at Imagination, (which I just know we will be working on eventually.) You see the other attractions, and then see how it all comes together with Horizons. Guests end...

Oooh! Century 22, I like that! And I agree with the thoughts on solving problems, it gives away to create a realistic, but optimistic look at the future. We could start off with a quick trip to the past, see early inventions and how they solved problems, like the wheel making transportation...

YES!! And for space, we could talk about colonies on the moon or other planets. I know NASA's been talking about colonizing mars for years now. I imagine that 100 years from now, Mars would at least have a decent sized village, if not a full on city.

Okay, this gives me an idea. Let's see what everyone thinks. First off, there are two things that I want with this attraction. I want to bring back the Kinetic Sculpture from the original. And I want to Bill Nye the Science Guy, whom I felt was the highlight of Ellen's Energy Adventure, to...

I don't think there should be much problem with overlapping with other pavilions, I think it would be quite realistic in a way, as none of these... categories, for lack of a better word, exist in a vacuum, they all effect each other in one way or another. In fact that could be fun discussion...

It probably should, given what's happened in other works that looked into what the future would be like, (if you'll recall, the original Tomorrowland at Disneyland looked into the far far future of 1986.) Perhaps one scene should acknowledge that what will see (or just saw) is only a guess based...

Agreed! As a jumping off point here's a video of the original.

Okay guys, here are the first two brainstorming threads. Horrizons: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/mickey-monitor-entry-1-new-epcot-pavilion-horizons-thread.925639/ Universe of Energy...

There's no denying that the Universe of Energy needs an update, and I have some of my own ideas about what should be done. But before we get into them, I'd love to hear some other ideas. I don't want this turning into a one man show. So what would others like to see for a new Universe of Energy?

This is the brainstorming thread for a new Universe of Energy at Epcot which was initially discussed over on the main Mickey Monitor Thread.

A couple quick notes from the main thread: It was mentioned by @OvertheHorizon that it would probably be best to start by asking, what is the story we are trying to tell? What do the people of today, care about the most in regards to the future. And as a suggestion, we should probably look...

This is the brainstorming thread for the new Horizons pavilion at Epcot, which was initially discussed over on the main Mickey Monitor Thread.

Awesome! Now just to be clear, what projects do we actually want to work on? I know there was a lot of talk for Horizons and Innoventions, and I know a couple people (including myself) wanted to do something with Universe of Energy. Was there anything else for Future World? Also, do we have any...

Wow I hadn't thought of it that way thanks @OvertheHorizon. I think i'm definitely in on a Horizons project, at least the brainstorming side of things. And I agree, we do need to start with the story. What's changed since 1999? What do people care more about in regards to the future today...

Don't worry, you haven't. And Ironically, watching the video you posted as well as a couple others have actually given me a couple ideas. Like using a KUKA System, which I don't think has been done for a calm dark ride yet. Plus I'd love to see a scene that shows how we imagined the future in...

S.P.E.W. I appreciate the vote of confidence, but given Horizons' cult status, and my lack of knowledge of the original attraction itself, I'd be very reluctant to make any changes, as I don't know what folks would want to stay, or what would need to be updated. That being said, how does...

I certainly like the idea of bringing back Horizons. I was never fortunate enough to ride it, by the time I got to visit Epcot on my only trip to WDW in 2000, the pavilion had already closed. I remember seeing ads for Mission Space on the construction walls. Unfortunately because of this, I...

I was thinking, restoring the original colors, and the mirrored panels. Restoring the Kinetic Sculpture, and having Bill Nye serve as the exclusive host and spokesperson, with a much more straightforward but energetic and humorous delivery, similar to what he did in his show. The info given...
