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

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I know this will not happen but IMHO it would be a cool idea to put the entrance to the restaurant BEHIND the MS ride so you have to do the ride to fly to the space station restaurant and dine there. In the original concept for the EPCOT space pavilion (MS is only a very watered down version of the original plans) you first did a space flight (like MS) and then enjoyed the attractions etc. of the pavilion, simulating a trip to a space station.

Kinda like the living seas? Which they abandoned long ago?

Exactly the same. I know it is impossible at the Space Restaurant because it is kind of contradictory to first send guests through a ride that makes many want to vomit and then enter a TS restaurant.

Did you hear about the new Green Mission?

Did you hear about the new Green Mission?

It still has a height restriction though. I didn't do it last time, I sacrificed myself for the sake of youngest DS who wanted to go to Nemo!

Seems a bit mean to refuse to allow any little ones or wusses from eating there ....

That was “new” in like 2012, wasn’t it?

Even that...no spin...involves small confined spaces...some people don’t want to deal with that

If by 2012 you mean less than a year.

If the plan is to send the Mission:Space rockets to the space restaurant (as part of the story), Disney might want to re-do the film (again), because the ride mentions being a test simulator. Gina Torres is pretty available, right?

They could certainly modify the spiel:

“You’re here today for space food - the most thrilling experience that any astronaut diner will ever have. Before you decide if it’s right for you, let me introduce you to your menu. It’s full of appetizers, entrees, and desserts and can range from 14 to 48 dollars in one sitting. So when you hear the words, “Go for lunch,” you’ll definitely want to hang on to your wallet.”

It’s not the plan. The restaurant entrance is to the right of the attraction entrance.

There always seems to this problem with “proper credit due”

Minor things are lauded after neglect...for example.

It’s like a participation award for the “little international 500 billion dollar entertainment monolith that could....”

Not really, but you guys do you.

Just letting you know we have enough posters who play the everything's awful card you aren't saying anything new.

I have a draw two of that card...but I’m waiting for it to switch to red first.

...my comment was more about they’ve had the non-spinner for quite A while i do recall...whatever they relabeled it last year.

Mission space is a ride I don’t think they’d build if they had it to do again.

And there is a lot of the lecturing type pretty much everywhere...so demand is low for that

I don't like Mission Space (it belongs at Kennedy Space Center). I agree they wouldn't build it if they had to do it again. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't replace it altogether last year. But I guess that was never in the cards.

Green was relabeled because it is now a distinct experience, not just a non-spinning version of Orange.
