Just an additional tidbit - Eddie Sotto & team at Walt Disney Imagineering were contracted to turn the restaurant into its current incarnation - Encounter - back in the late 90s.... Eddie was definately after a "Jetsons-esque" rehab of the place... The soundtrack (background music) is pretty fun too... In the same design vein, anyone paying attention to the plight of the TWA terminal at JFK? It's now on the list of America's 11 most endangered historic places.... http://www.nationaltrust.org/11most/2003/twaterminal.html "Oh mystic powers - hear my call...
