Oh, so any Jersey Shore beach pavilion!

Joe Rohde, if he were still with WDI, could pull off a kind of immersive realism here that even New Jerseyites would want to move here.

Rumor has it this will be the new home for sports betting :

ESPN and PENN Entertainment join forces for ESPN BET​

Cake will be served in the back ...

Only for the wealthy. Us poors betting less than $25000 only get peanuts.

You only get peanuts if you buy the $150 Premium Peanut Package.

Only $150?

This had to be one of the stupidest decisions in the past few years.

I get that ESPN wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but a restaurant with later hours and a good amount of seating is something this area needed. A refresh of ESPN would have been far more logical than this nonsense that will probably never open.

ESPN wasn't a money maker. It was either slow or full of people camping out at tables watching sporting events for 3-6 hours.

He is just another wannabe expert.

I don’t know if you were trying to @ Me or not…
I’ve been on these forums for quite a while, while it may be a few years short of you. I didn’t claim to be an expert, nor did I claim that ESPN was wildly successful…

I said that a refresh of ESPN while still offering late night hours is more of what this area needs, not an overpriced cake place.

In the time it takes Disney to open a cake shop, Universal will have opened an entire new theme park.

What on Earth takes WDW so long to do things. It's truly astounding.

I don't know why they don't put a huge sports bar where the NBA experience was. The ESPN club seemed to always be pretty busy and there really is no good place to watch the big games.

Because people watching sporting events for 3-6 hours never eat or drink anything?

This smells like another $lappie Special.

Yeah… people never drink in a sports bar. Lol.

Have you seen the Disney stock lately?? Maybe they ran out of dough? LOL Disney better get it together because when Epic Universe opens in 2025 things are going to be somewhat different ...

I know people that worked there. Sales were really low there especially during big sporting events. Can't make money when tables don't turnover. It had very low sales per person.

 

[Thelazer]

I know people that worked there, they told me the opposite.

IT JUST OPENED. HOW?

Seems very short notice, so possibly a maintenance issue that cropped up?

 

[Horizons '83]

Would love it if they added some theming elements or just perhaps add some life to the current color palate of plain white.
