I don't take it seriously. The amount of consternation is amusing though.
Spoilers Discoprise Engine Room Pictures...

Really, the main difference seen between The Motion Picture Enterprise Vertical Engine shaft and Discoprise one (other than the amount of greebles attached), is that the former is enclosed by walkways that butt almost against it and the latter is in an open area.
They both still take up a massive amount of space in the Secondary Hull.
When does a Starship become so big that you fill the voids with...voids?
It's a void ship!!! Or a TARDIS.
Yeah.. Not the same.. Tmp was maybe 3 decks tall cargo area.. This is Wonka Level Travel!
It can take you "up and down, sideways, slant ways, and any other way you can think of"

What version of the book did you read????The Wonka elevator only went up...
It's been a while so I may have been completely off base. That book gave me nightmares as a kid so even as I typed my response I was like..."Is that right?"What version of the book did you read????
So, I appreciate the correction because I clearly blocked out all but the last part
Blimey, I hope I'm right about that nowIt's been a while so I may have been completely off base. That book gave me nightmares as a kid so even as I typed my response I was like..."Is that right?"

I re-read the book to my youngest a few months back - it is certainly pretty whacky stuff!
I've read the book several times since I was a kid, Yes the elevator can go in multiple directions.
In fact, there's a second book called "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" (1972).
It picks up just about where the movie ended with the three of them going off on an adventure in the Glass Elevator after it breaks out of the roof of the Chocolate Factory.

Well, I think we can say we have all learned something today.
That's why the elevator had a multitude of buttons in it.
Wonka even admits to Charlie in the book that he's never used all of them.
Let alone the one that caused the elevator to bust out of the roof.
There are worse things to be inspired by.
No argument here! We read through many of his works but stopped at The Witches - the material in there goes beyond "whacky" and veers into "scary" territory, at least for a boy his age
I just figured it is something that can be reconfigured again and again, depending on mission profile. So, the rails are very flexible and able to be moved to support moving modules in and out. Since Jefferies imagined the Enterprise as being able to do all repairs from the inside, such spaces make more sense than they are given credit for.
Not that anyone will accept it because of that. But, you know, we can justify why Khan knows Chekov. This is nothing new.
If I had the talent I would in a heartbeat.
Having tried my hand at SHIELD Helicarrier cross-sections...well, I'm not saying "never". I'm saying "not right now" for myself.
