NBA Experience at Disney Springs

[UNCgolf]

Other than perhaps Catastrophe Canyon, it was a mostly a one-and-done attraction. Unless there's a type of guest who just couldn't get enough of the exterior set of the Golden Girls' house.

Well yeah, the original version was a couple of hours long. You didn't need to do it more than once on a trip.

And of course it's all relative to what interests you. It was much more interesting/entertaining to me than Slinky Dog, Alien Saucers, or Smugglers Run. But it no longer really worked once they stopped filming and animation on site.

Chapek is trying to figure out how he can legally hold people hostage until they pay an escape ransom...

In regards to guests paying up, I think the Disney execs who dreamed up the Magic Bands know that guests can be fooled into spending more than they actually budgeted for on their trip with the ease of charging the expenses with the Magic Band.

Or... would this be a good dumping ground for all things Zootopia? Thus keeping it out of the parks.
Help control the pet population. Get your furries spade or neutered.

I'd love something like this.

1st Floor - Merch and ticket Prizes
2nd Floor - 70's - 90's Retro Arcade games (ranging from the Nascar 10 seat game to Pac Man)
3rd Floor - 1/2 the floor Food and Seating (a Vanellope's Sweets and Treats like on the Dream) , other 1/2 floor games Fortnite and such
4th Floor - VR/Interactive Games
5th Floor - Escape Rooms!

Could just turn it into club 33 Disney springs .

me thinks many of you guys are overestimating the popularity and profitability of arcade games...

Dear Disney,

It makes me so happy to watch the NBA Experience die even sooner than I expected. One of the few good things that came out of the virus. Now please bring back Disney Quest!

 

[ppet]

I agree wholeheartedly. My family spent many a rainy afternoon at Disney Quest.

 

[jpinkc]

LOL I am glad to know I wasnt the only one thinking this

 

[Lunair]

Maybe its just nostalgia, but I really miss walking into that Disney Quest lobby and getting to decide which direction to explore first. Lots of great memories with my family.

Rest in peace, Disney Quest...

I maintain that Disney chose to close DisneyQuest at exactly the wrong moment. Gaming has become super mainstream over the past five or so years, especially with Gen Z, which has a large subculture who have adopted the "gamer aesthetic". A fresh coat of paint and a few million dollars to a couple of gaming studios to make some updated interactive attractions would have gone a long way.

I recently took a trip to Las Vegas and stopped by Area15, a new entertainment venue that bills itself as an "experience mall". There's a few permanent exhibitions along with a rotating array of tenants, who offer different types of immersive entertainment: VR games, immersive flight simulators, walk-through experiences (the Van Gogh immersive touring exhibit), etc.

I do wonder if the concept could work for Disney as a sort of reworked DisneyQuest.

How corny it was but Alladins magic carpet ride simulator 20 years ago was neat at Disney Quest .

Thankfully this NBA garbage died a quick death!

 

[LovePop]

Maybe wait and see what its like before bashing it.

Now that we are watching Disney kill it, let's bash it!

Good lord disney quest isn't coming back. Disney wants someone to pay them to occupy that space. No need for people to keep bringing it up.

 

[tanc]

Disney quest would have been amazing if it was a proper VR experience. We have the tech now to do it but they won't spend it. Turn it into a huge museum of Disney World, I think that would be so awesome.

Combo Dollar General/Waffle House. It’ll print money.

 

[HanSoloDolo]

Okay so here is what I know:

- It can not be a restaurant per contract with City Works

- The idea of using it as event space in the short term has been thrown about

That’s what I was told by a source I trust. As for what ends up going there I have no idea.

In Georgia, the Waffle House is a go to place to eat right after bar closing time. 24/7 Waffle House at WDW? It will be a hit with the late night crowd.

There's a Waffle House just outside the Disney Springs Hotel Gate..
