I was just going to post the exact same thing.I found actual high res art and cropped out the new restaurant:
So, anyone know if this will be a forced perspective element on top or is this purely just for the art?

$5 says just for art.

I'd agree with that as well actually. It'd be dang difficult to replicate a space elevator but I guess I shouldn't speak too soon before someone tells me that's exactly what they're doing.

Maybe it is an actual tower that has ridiculous internet power connectivity which will be connected to NASA's live cameras that are actually on the Space Station.

Or they need a quick cheap way to put in a cell tower....Maybe it is an actual tower that has ridiculous internet power connectivity which will be connected to NASA's live cameras that are actually on the Space Station.

Story wise, I'd assume it's to represent a Space Elevator, leading up to the restaurant. Really cool science concept that can't actually be done reasonably yet.
They could kinda represent it with a vertical spotlight? Not certain.

The tower? Nah. Just art.

Total shame.
I’d have appreciated a forced perspective tower of some sort.

New artwork shows smaller windows, more tables closer together, and ugly carpeting. Budget cuts strike again!

Not to mention what seems like a much lower ceiling. The space feels a lot less grand in this new concept art than it did in the original.

You are absolutely right. I was really excited about this at first but after seeing this new art I'm over it.
No, @marni1971 has been telling us for a while it's this winter. They want to open it before the end of the calendar year, tho it can slip maybe into Jan/Feb.

Wow doesnt look that far along esp at the speed of disney. Heck Mickey and minnie was delayed... again
MMRR is delayed because the LPS engineers were moved to help fix and get done RotR. Space Restaurant is using the imagineers specializing in projections... which also could have been pulled off of MMRR.

I wonder if this is because it is 2 levels.
I hope it’s taller ceilings than this though. It seems very confining, at least in this rendition.
It also could just be a perspective thing.
Look how short the guests are seated next to the windows. Maybe this is trying to imply depth to the room?
