NBA Experience at Disney Springs

[MisterPenguin]

Make the vacant building a pay for play X box arena with winners advancing to later rounds and playing for Disney merchandise. Does anyone remember the Disney Quest human sized pinball machine 20 years ago where players advance during the day to later rounds to be claimed champion?

E-sports Arena!!

Disney Quest could still work given proper updates, but would be expensive with minimal returns. A viable option would be bring back a version of Adventurers Club and put it in this location, by its very nature it remains fresh with minimal costs and make sure there are food and drinks available (including speciality non-alcoholic drinks) and it could be extraordinarily profitable.

Add an Escape room attraction also?

It's the NHL that would pay. Just like it was the NBA that paid.

After how many billion on that contract?
$2.5? (I’ll have to google it…too lazy)

(Pssst…Disney makes mistakes…and Bob’s are just starting to float to the surface. Stay tuned )

All they had to do was “update” Disney Quest with basic arcade games, an escape room and laser tag and went about their day. I mean they replace things all the time with generic stuff. This was just a waste of money.

Makes one wonder about the survey that went out that asked about escape rooms, large interactive art exhibits, Omega Mart, family arts and crafts, if Disney knew this was coming and was looking for a way to reuse the space.

The NBA Experience always seemed kinda half-as$ed to me. Like they never saw it lasting more than 5 years or so.

You know…I actually think they just put barrels on the floor with signs directing people to line up and dump money into them…

think I’m kidding? It sounds ridiculous…but if you called it “after hours” and “exclusive” and had a parade??…you’d be shocked at how many takers they’d get.

I was thinking what if the void came back (tough for them)…but you made it a varied/more physical kinda thing? Bouncies for the kids…laser tag type mayhem for those that couldn’t get the money from mom for Star cruiser…

But for all that money they sunk into it?

 

[AshaNeOmah]

Nope…that has been prophecized
since the 90’s and they really haven’t gotten much traction

Yup, just like getting to Mars or cost effective fusion. Always 20 years away.

 

[Tomi-Rocket]

TBH, I never understood the decision behind this, so I’m not surprised by this in the least. Now the wait begins to see what will become of this space…

You joke, but I struggle to think of how anything else would be a higher use for the 2 year old building.

Didn’t take long for Universal to respond

I don't know what the money was spent on but doesn't seem like a lot of it was spent on the actual exhibit and attractions from what I saw

Disney Springs Sink Hole Experience?

 

[flynnibus]

The construction wasn’t cheap
