 The initial storyline developed for the attraction would have seen riders enter a replica of the Orlando International Airport , before being ushered onto people movers taking them to the underground to the MIB training facility . However , executives were unsure of the concept and instead wanted at least one recognisable item from the 1997 film to be on the outside facade . Responding to the concern , designers chose the film 's flying saucer @-@ shaped towers , adding elements of a building from the 1964 World 's Fair , Dodgers Stadium , and the St. Louis Arch to form the facade . Other elements of the storyline also did not make the final cut . The immigration office from the film is featured in the attraction 's queue ; however , it was intended that it would feature numerous animatronics . However , due to the large animatronics budget for the ride itself , this idea was scrapped . In homage , ride employees for the first few months of the ride 's operation would take their breaks in the room , to give the effect of a working office .
