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

[Slowjack]

ah okay thanks, I dont know what made me think it was under off to the side.

The entrance to the corporate lounge was on the ground level on the right side; you may remember seeing it there.

Is there any chance that the video screens inside the restaurant will ever run a virtual ride through of Horizons?

OK stop making fun of me... A guy can dream can't he? If I can dream it, Disney can certainly do it!

It's not entirely unfeasible. in Tokyo Disneyland...Space Mountain's (or maybe Star Tours) queue video shows the ending choices from Horizons (Brava Centauri, Mesa Verde, Sea Castle)

Maybe they can get NASA to engineer the restrooms, where they know the importance of vacuum in the hygiene module...

OT, but did you know that the only intentional joke in 2001:A Space Odyssey was Heywood Floyd sitting on the can reading the zero-g toilet instructions on the wall?

Space bathrooms? There's one movie I instantly think of when I hear that:


...maybe not the "Whole world part" but the first little bit...
Too bad I couldn't find the entire bathroom part.

I love Mission: SPACE's façade, but that also is my beef with it. It's a façade. Classic Epcot buildings were works of art in their entirety. Mission: SPACE's façade lacks depth.

You beat me to it. It’s just a front on an otherwise ugly box. The best architecture at Disney shouldn’t have to settle for that sort of pastiche - it should soar as a whole building and reflect its purpose as well.

That is also my concern with Guardians. It’s a pretty big box and will have a prominent role in the skyline from many angles. I am hopeful that the finishes and materials will make it worthy of that place. However - it’s already got one strike - it’s a box first and the final outside is just window dressing next to something like SSE.

I believe this is what you can see of the restaurant construction from next to Test Track.

You can also see plenty of work being done from the outdoor portion of Test Track.

The maître d' :

or the kitchen staff?

I just.......the Butler needs to be in this restaurant.

Now see, what if they put the wait staff in these outfits? That would be cool.

And of course you can also see how badly the Monorail track needs to be cleaned again!

I guess part of the point here is whether or not they go for a realistic space or a fanciful one. I'd prefer the latter.

I never really care about this stuff, but god that beam is disgusting.

I just.......the Butler needs to be in this restaurant.

He does, but he'd really benefit from placement with the "ten foot rule." Way back when they had him on display in the EPCOT Center anniversary exhibit, he was up close in a glass case. He looks amazing from a distance, but if you're up close, you'll notice the glamor wears off a little... Those eyes? Jo-Ann's issue, from-the-bin styrofoam balls.

"Clean the beam up, Scotty!"

Just like The Land and Imagination

This is true. Same goes for the Figment they have at Walt Disney Presents. He needs a makeover. But happy to see him nonetheless!

However, that wouldn't be a problem if you couldn't see the 'plain' parts of the building from normal guest areas.

Better? Yes or no?

There is no doubt in my mind that they will add characters in space. If I am not mistaking, I think there were reports about this a couple of weeks ago. Again, I wouldn't complain because it actually fits.

It has been proposed.

Like I said, I wouldn't mind Wall-E or other space characters flying around. Unless, they add Guardians or Star Wars characters. That just seems like too much.
