Tannnnnnng

They could do a tie in to Horizons AND Energy and have Dinosaurs in Space, which I guess then also ties in to Dr. Who, hehe

Jim and @lentesta discussed this on their latest show. Jim said due to noise bleed from Test Track this will actually go on the Wonders of Life side.

Oooooh boy... conflicting info! Drama!

In all seriousness, they can't soundproof the building at all?

Not buying that. This is a windowless room - noise bleed would not be that hard to overcome.

Did Jim say he heard this from an inside source, or was this him surmising?

Incorrect. It's south of MS.

I think they were more refering to something like this: Pooping In Space Explained.

3 days later and someone finally got the joke!

Oooh... conflicting info. Fight! Fight! Fight!

Does the time frame on construction sound right? Early 2018 start, Early 2019 completion?

 

[larryz]

What kind of food are we expecting this place to serve? Tang and moon pies?

Don't forget Space Food Sticks and dehydrated ice cream.

I'm hoping for my favorite flavor of Tang, prune. Everyone loves Prune Tang.

Oh, no... you didn't!

What was that I just heard? The sound of a pile of monkey poop falling to the ground? Guess that one didn't stick...That's our formerly-incarcerated-for-crimes-against-Disney Hilly boy!


@marni1971 - are they really going to go all out on this? As much as Disney gets such effusive praise regarding theming, they really have fallen behind in restaurant experiences aside from BOG - theme restaurants are much more common these days and even something like Dinosaur Cafe is more immersive than what Disney has. Even Sci-Fi, once among the pinnacle of theme restaurants, is showing it's age and simplicity. This could be very cool if they really went to town on it.

Move the opening back a little.

(No offence to Jim with all this)

It should be very immersive.

I thought more summer '19.

I'm being deliberately vague

 

[jpinkc]

If its going to be so large, I would think it has Quick Service stamped on it, have they said anything yet about what it will be?

 

[Coaster Lover]

One World Trade Center has an awesome animated display as you are going to the top of the tower. Would be awesome to see Disney have a simulated elevator (like in the Escape from Gringots queue) using animated walls like this to make it look/feel like you're going up in a space elevator to this restaurant orbiting above earth. Have it so after you check-in, when they take you to your table they take you "up" in this elevator to the main dining room...

Imagine that.
