I got to go into the HP Red Planet Room today! The entrance is just to the left after you choose your Orange or Green pass, then goes up a flight of stairs once in the door. Note that if you change your mind for the ride, the VIP staff (there were 2 really nice women that were there) can give you whichever you like once you are in. They also have a secret door that puts you right into the FastPass line (without needing to get one ahead of time!)
The room is not huge, but is really nice and comfortable (and has A/C). It has a cool looking 'bar' setup with free sodas, ice water, etc. There are also special Mission Space items to purchase (cash only) with HP branding on it (got some baseball caps, but there were t-shirts and maybe some other stuff).
There are bean bag chairs, couches and small tables for your drinks. You have views overlooking both the ride queue and the post card area at the end of the ride. It is dark glass so kind of hard to see out (and be seen)
On one wall there is a large world map (near the private bathroom) that has pins to stick on the map to indicate where you are from and has space next to it that has pictures of previous visitors (and you can post one if you want). They have a printer there you can print a photo out on, too (HP of course) There is also a table top maze video game you can play - sort of like a computerized marble maze that you tilt to move the ball.
We also got to see and play with the new HP Sprout computer (which has a work surface projector and 3D camera/scanner) that was prominently set up by the reception desk.
It was a great overall experience so if you get a chance (know an HP employee, etc) be sure to go, even if it is just for a short period of time.
I don't have pics at the moment but can maybe post a couple later after I get them from my wife's phone.
Cheers!
