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

[WDWFANSINCE81]

I agree with @UNCgolf, those tables look awfully tiny, smaller in depth/width than the booth seats. It looks like a standard size reusable water bottle in the middle of the table to the right. I suppose those could just be mounting plates for a bigger tabletop...hopefully.

Correct....just the mounting plates for tabletops, you can tell by the placement of the booth seats...if those were the table tops you would need to sit at the very edge of the seats.

Looking back I definitely agree that the "table" is extremely small, however, I definitely do think it has to be a mounting plate for a bigger tabletop that has yet to be installed.

Booth tables generally hang a bit over the seats whereas the current system has a substantial gap between the chair and "table"

For reference

 

[UNCgolf]

Yeah, it definitely has to be a mounting plate. Didn't even think of that.

Kind of like eating at one of the scenes on Horizons

 

[DisneyJeff]

Is it just me or do the tables under the windows look exceptionally tiny? They don't look big enough to hold two drinks and two plates of food. Maybe they are some sort of reserved seats just for people to have drinks with no food.

The window size is disappointing. I was hoping for massive views out into "space", although it's possible that there's more than one set of windows.

Maybe they found a way to replicate zero gravity, thus eliminating the need to tables. Your food will just float in front of you.

If that's the case, I wonder what's the need for the seats.

Worst. Spacesuits. Ever.

Looks like the latest MST3K uni.

This^
Looking at the latest concept art, it lines up with 2 tables per window:

It's probably just a trick of the perspective as well as people being so close to the camera.

Nothing like judging a huge space based off of the focal length of a poorly shot image from a cell phone. I'd think the Mona Lisa was ugly if it was photographed with a potato.

If they don't serve Tang, we riot

Until the pandemic is over, I'm going to respond to all these new photos from inside the parks with:
"Many bothans risked their lives–and ours– to bring us this information."

Inching closer to the finish line. This is the best use of that pad since 1983.

Looks ghetto compared to the concept art. Kind of like the castle, lol.

The blue ambient lighting will add a lot.

 

[rreading]

The blue ambient lighting will add a lot.

Exactly what I was thinking - that lighting will make a world of difference with this. That and actual tabletops. While it's nice of him to show a photo, it's definitely not a great look at what's to come

 

[Jabbas]

The blue ambient lighting will add a lot.

I figured. Just wish they would throw us bone here, it’s not like it will be open anytime soon anyways!

 

[The_Jobu]

c'mon Disney, we could use some good news and things to actually look forward to. Have high hopes for this.

So apparently the space station is named "Centauri" according to this:

I'm sure it'll come with a glow cube and cost $10.99.

i was hoping they would cash in on the Horizons references with this. Now let’s get the Robot Butler in there somewhere....

I felt the same. A super simple thing to add to it.

I seem to remember saying there would be a "preshow" for this restaurant with a space elevator taking you to the restaurant. I assume these will be mechanically identical to the star wars cruiser and similar in vein (but reverse idea) from the old hydrolators?
