Following check-in, guests arrived onto the Intrepid via a long hallway decorated and lit to resemble outer space—fitting, given the evening's "New Age of Discovery" theme. "We wanted to add to the feeling of a future technology age," said Ross Wheeler, head of the automotive team at Imagination, Land Rover's long-time event production firm.

Given the overarching theme of discovery and outer space travel, a circular motif was chosen for much of the event's furniture. That included the circular bars as well as the glowing orbs that not only peppered the inside of the venue, but also the driveway leading to the Intrepid from the West Side Highway.
