The laboratory-inspired interiors of the Kinetorium.
"'Kinectics' + 'emporium' = 'Kinetorium', the perfect formula for your souvenirs!" so says one of the many posters outside the shop of the same name inside the Energy in Motion pavilion.
The Kinetorium is the pavilion's sole retail shop, located next to The Model Exhibits post-show for The Examiner. You may have survived Entropy Labs' 'Design Course', but your wallet may not after rushing through the aisles of this store. Filled to the brim with "gifts from the energy line", the shop sold themed and sponsored merchandise, including clothing, jewelry, and toys for the young and young-at-heart.
The Kinetorium's sleek and diamond-shaped signage. Note the Universe of Energy's logo at the bottom, one of the few references to the previous tenant of the building.
The interior is laboratory chic. Whiteboard walls filled with mathematical equations, energy formulations, and Post-It notes formed the shop's walls, rising from the tiled floor to the ceiling. On some wall pieces, nerdy motivational posters are tacked on by the Entropy Labs interns ("May the d/dt (mv) be with you", says one), as well as some slotted boards with slotted bins filled with purchasable trinkets on them. Free-standing steel-and-glass shelves are scattered about. K'Nex toy models of various Disney coasters (Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, The Barnstormer, etc.) are placed atop some of the steel-and-plastic straight-rack and gondola displays. Several laboratory workbenches dotted the show floor topped with various merchandise. The fixtures overall reminded you of your school physics laboratory but filled with themed merchandise instead of stressed students.
The merchandise in here is usually good, including items you can’t get anywhere else in the park: Entropy Labs-themed lab coats, exclusive K'Nex toy sets, jewelry pieces based on The Examiner, Adam the Atom plush toys, etc.
