I was at Springs last night. There's no chance the building is opening in June 2019.

No chance indeed. I bet it moves. From what I saw it will be 2020 the way it looks.

NBA Experience is opening August 12th. City Works which is the dining location on the corner is scheduled for Winter 2019.

How much of this project is owned by Disney?

Confused on this part. Will the NBA piece have any dining at all outside of the restaurant connected? Maybe just a bar?

I don't believe the NBA Experience will have specific dining. City Works is the attached Sports Bar/grille type venue.

Article seems to confirm there will be an entry fee like DisneyQuest...

"A ticket to NBA Experience grants you access to every activity in any order you choose, and you can return to stations multiple times to try and improve your performance or learn more about the game, the players and the teams you love."

Wow. There is now absolutely no chance of me checking it out then. I thought the tickets would be just for playing the games.

DribbleQuest!

Check out what? People doing the different games and interactive experiences? This shouldn’t be a surprise.

Yeah. I'm not really a basketball fan so I'm not really a target, but I'd walk through it and you never know if something might peak my interest to the point I want to play something.

I should edit to say it's really not surprising, just from the concept art it never really occurred to me they would make it a ticket through the door thing.

I don't think we can tell from these releases whether you'll be able to come in and gawk without paying for a ticket... but either way, I'm sure there's a gift shop they'd be happy to let you peruse

I'd be impressed with August 12 too.

I don’t think they would’ve announced it already if they didn’t think they could hit that date.

I need your kind of optimism every morning when I wake up.

 

[Rteetz]

I need your kind of optimism every morning when I wake up.

Lol

I know they certainly could miss that date. They have missed dates before but this doesn't seem like something that is crazy innovative like say Test Track or Rivers of Light which both missed their dates.

 

[ar81]

So no restaurant? I could see us eating and checking out stuff before we decide whether to do it if there was one. Although the boys in my family watch basketball games and have their favorites none are what you would call “athletic” and I don’t see us paying to just horse around on a court.

It didn't occur to me either. Guess we're just not smart enough

 

[xdan0920]

Me either. I guess I wasn’t really thinking too much about it. There wasn’t much chance of me checking this place out to begin with, but obviously a cover charge moves that needle to 0.
