News Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

[Disone]

Hope they preserve some of the trees between the test track facility and this location.

I'm kind of hoping they just use the wonders of Life for Dining: Space. I'm surprised this is not a rumor. It clearly is being kept they are doing something with it, and it is also adjacent to Mission Space. And it is round as is the shape of the restaurant. I know I'm reading way too much that but one can hope

Oh, I thought you were drawing the new Space restaurant.

Is that a joke?

Is that a joke?

Perhaps I just need new contact lenses.

Have one of my patented, accurate but also at the same time deliberately vague iPad sketches:

Nice. Wish I had read this before my other post. Good thing I ended my other post by saying it was wishful thinking WOL would be used, because clearly it was wishful thinking.

Do you realize how ridiculously big that would be for a restaurant? And how hard it would be to theme all of that?

They keep it around because it makes for good festival and event space.

Well I kind of retracted already. However yes I do realize how big of a space that is. I've been in it. But half of that space would not be ridiculously large for a restaurant that is trying to give you views of outer space and would be the only restaurant in that area of the park. Be Our Guest restaurant in the new Fantasyland is pretty big. Again they're not going to use wonders of life, but if they were going to they could use half of it to do a high scale re theme of being in a space station looking out at the cosmos and the other half could become backstage where the kitchens are.

Anyway your point is correct, it's not going to happen.

I like the ideas that as you enter the restaurant the lobby is either a lightly simulated ride on a space elevator or futuristic low-G shuttle.

But I hope when you exit, it's a HALO!

Kinda like a hydrolator of sorts.

So since this is mostly a new build, it's probably like a year away? I should stop hoping to see one morning soon that they are taking reservations for this November?

 

[RSoxNo1]

I'm guessing someone else made this comment, but can they please call this Milliways?

 

[Cosmic Commando]

Better? Yes or no?

Character breakfast: CONFIRMED

I wrote about this in another thread, but Martin commented about it being a bit of Living Seas and a bit of Star Trek, so I'm guessing you enter the restaurant by getting into a Hydrolater-esque room that "teleports" you to the space station for your meal.

A space elevator fits the bill. One was featured in a recent Star Trek movie.

The footprint for the restaurant is right around the fastest (and noisiest) part of the TT right? Maybe they can disguise it as the thruster from the space restaurant...

 

[Huck]

This sounds great!

It totally should be named Dining: SPACE.

[Mickey5150]

makes sense but makes you wonder why they are amazingly steadfast in not re-purposing the WOL building.

WOL is very important for epcot during their festivals so it won't be repurposed until a new festival center exists.

 

[michmousefan]

and don't forget those zero G restrooms!

Some detailed study will be necessary...

 

[No Name]

I'm 100% excited for this. This is one of the few D23 announcements that I don't have mixed feelings on.

I love this. Made me Smile. I would 100% before this!

Thank you, but it was kind of Magic Feather's idea. I'm not creative enough to come up with that entirely myself.

MISSION: SPORK

Even better.

Or they could just stick to the whole year round theme park idea instead of a seasonal bar crazy right?

A thought just occurred to me...

What floats in...must float out... lol
