We didn't serve Pluto burgers, but we did serve Spaceburgers for 55 cents, Moonburgers (the moon is made of cheese...get it?) for 65 cents, and Jupiter Mile Long hotdogs for 45 cents. The back wall of the restaurant was covered in beautiful tiles that have since been removed. I worked nights and got to hear some incredible live music from the groups that performed on the on the hydraulic stage. Great times....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-10433462130799561782007-03-09T18:16:00.000-08:002007-03-09T18:16:00.000-08:00Yes, Rolly did indeed design a lot of the "mod" st...Yes, Rolly did indeed design a lot of the "mod" stylings for Tomorroland such as the roof garden of the stage and the free-standing ticket booths. I was reading an interview with him in which he expressed bewildered delight at seeing the ticketbooths recreated as miniatures. I gather he saw them as a very casual creation and didn't know what the fuss was about. How refreshing to read of a man whose modesty and tallent are perfectly matched.- Katella GateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-23681594753387548082007-03-09T08:52:00.000-08:002007-03-09T08:52:00.000-08:00My understanding is that Rolly was indeed the desi...My understanding is that Rolly was indeed the designer of the ticket booth and the Tomorrowland Terrace stage... er planter in the down position... stage in the up position.Amazon Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084041848576881706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-74225729709035628252007-03-09T05:07:00.000-08:002007-03-09T05:07:00.000-08:00The first shot shows the ticket booth.
