Didn’t take long for Universal to respondView attachment 580186

I love you USO Social Media Department.

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

Disney Springs Sink Hole Experience?

yet another comical failure dead... at least this one they nuked quickly.

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

The construction wasn’t cheap

indoor top golf?

I honestly never cared about the NBA Experience, heck I forgot about this existing until today.

I personally think we are entering into the second coming of Ron Miller. The difference is that Bob Cheapik does not have the beauty of having the next 10 years already planned out for him.

The NBA Experience is all on Bob.

GOOD. And haha.

I was willing to say I didn't understand this going in but that I wasn't the demographic (I don't watch basketball) which might be why.

Having said that, the only thing shocking about this to me is how quickly they gave up on it considering weeks/months it was actually open.

I never dreamed they wouldn't at least prop it up for the first year (of operation).

Now that the deed is done the person that spear headed / green lit the NBA experience project should be informed their services are no longer needed and shown the exit door before they can do anymore damage.

There’s probably a top ten list of dumb moves somewhere on these boards. If not, it might be therapeutic to see.

For me, while there are other things I care far more about (EPCOT), building this is up there near the top. Bad concept from the start.

 

[MrPromey]

Then again, maybe this wasn't about succeeding?

Wonder who they'll use to haul away all that debris when they tear it down?

Hopefully those awful barges have a similar half-life.

Maybe they could link them together, tow them with a boat in the Seven Seas Lagoon and call it the update to the electrical water pageant!

I'd strangely enjoy that.

 

[SoFloMagic]

I wonder how long a lease the restaurant underneath it signed...

DON'T TOUCH MY ELECTRICAL WATER PARADE!

I expected this the moment I they announced it! Lets see how long that space remains closed and unused.

Bring back the arcade
