Maybe the top of the tower starts out as a sponsor's lounge and eventually becomes a normal restaurant or even this universe's version of Epcot's Club 33?

That's a bit of a grey area since you're starting in '82. If it fits, I'd include it. If it doesn't, I'm not going to knock you as long as the pavilion follows still follows the design sensibilities of modern EPCOT. Technically the real Futureworld hasn't been officially renamed yet

Lmao, EPCOT gets an Apple Store and a Genius Bar...
Which era though? New EPCOT?

Good to know. It's nice to have that element covered.That's a bit of a grey area since you're starting in '82. If it fits, I'd include it.

Besides, if there had to be a "World" connection, then in the Modern Era it could be "World Connection" due to The Land being about our connection to the planet and our computer pavilion concerning our connection with each other.

Build me a pavilion and I'll be happy.
Since you're building a pavilion that has always been a part of this EPCOT, it throws a small wrench into the neighborhoods as they are at the actual EPCOT so I'm not going to be upset if you have to shift or rework some things. Especially when those name changes haven't even been implemented yet. @DashHaber's neighborhood suggestion is a great way to tackle that issue.

Thanks. Yeah, though we are working with Epcot, we aren't necessarily shackled to what is actually in Epcot currently. We're making a pavilion that's there opening day, so we then have the freedom for how things develop within the park itself as a result of that.

A new restaurant would probably be New Epcot though it would also be plausible in the 90's. Club 33 would definitely be brand new EPCOT, I think the Club 33 American Adventure lounge opened in EPCOT just 2 or 3 years ago.

That's not a bad idea. Maybe that sponsor's lounge gets hit with some of the pavilion changes (perhaps like a change in sponsor or something), and a restaurant could be set up in the tower to help add more dining to the Future World section of Epcot.
I'd also say New Epcot in regards to the restaurant. Retail could also more of a New Epcot thing, considering I feel like computer-related electronics that you could easily purchase and take around are a more recent thing.

Alright, so it feels like we've got a rough shape forming now for our pavilion. When it comes to pavilion placement, I suggest we take advantage of the land space where The Living Seas would have been and use that for our pavilion. Also, unless we have any other name suggestions, I think The Data Base works as a solid name for our pavilion.
With that, it's time to start considering tasks. Here's a breakdown of tasks (broken by era) as I see it:
Epcot Center (1980s):

I like this design a lot, my only worry is would guests be able to see the circuitry design from the ground? Perhaps the roof could be slanted towards the guests so they see the circuitry?
DashHaber

A slanted roof would help better show that circuitry. Plus, I was thinking that the exterior walls and/or arches supporting the roof would have that circuitry design as well.

We obviously have to cut the dark ride in half and add retail in the 90's version...

Hear me out: What if our computer dark ride was a boat ride (Pirates or IASW style)?
It would make it stand out from the multitude of ominmovers already in Future World.

Interesting. I'll admit, a boat ride sounds a little weird initially just because of how water is something you'd normally want to keep away from your computer, but it would help add a little attraction diversity to Future World.

What about a family coaster through the world wide web?

Couldn't be in the 80's version of the pavilion as the World Wide Web wasn't invented until '89 and even if we broaden it to the internet there were no companies trying to sell people on it until the 90's.
Could make for a good replacement for the dark ride in the 90's if anyone's willing to work on it.
