Personally I think SSE should be like the 8th wonder of the modern world. It's art itself. I feel like They jammed so much in this sphere and just realizing that you're always in this massive monument while you're seeing elaborate sets that seem much larger than anything that should ever be able to fit in there. I think that the poster was just comparing it with a previous version, not having seen it for the first time but for repeated visit compared to a prior one. I'm fortunate enough to remember the Tomorrow's Child version Cronkite and Irons and now the current one. So that's three different versions, and I can say I was disappointed with the very linnear and unrealistic semetrical star field at the end.Don't anyone take this wrong, but how can anyone not be impressed just for the ride itself. The show scenes themselves were very detailed, and you were riding around inside a globe, up a dozen or so stories and back down to almost where your started. Am I the only one not so jaded by technology that they are not able to appreciate the marvel at the ride itself and all its dimensions. Yes, some of the scenes were lame and anyone that went to school when they actually taught something were just impressed by the presentation and its elements. We already knew the history but how entertaining it was and largely still is.
That being Said I just noticed that the reason it rotates backwards for the "return to Earth", is because it's too steep to remain forward without you falling forward or being generally uncomfortable for a long period of time. That's just a fun little thing I took note of.
I think that the you in the future thing would be best saved for the Communicore area, and the end of the ride should be kinda like the old Horizons was. You seem to have some unused space (not as much because the show scenes from the other part of the ride probably take up more than half the globe or something) and you can put something like they used to have with the model city or like maybe a small house of tomorrow with hologram communication, or interplanetary communication, or like how smart phones have changed our lives or something!
Also on a side note, does anyone know about the surface of the moon that was supposed to be up there? Why did they not do that it would make so much sense considering how far the earth is from you, you are DEFINATELY on the moon as that is a distant Earth and DEFINATELY not a routine orbit where we'd put any space station or satilite. I think I saw this lame pic that showed where the moon rocks would be and it was just full of trash.
