Not sure if the NBA experience will be any good, but DQ is seriously at the point of total-suck.

The NBA Experience; Subtraction by addition

Sloppy seconds from Universal...

It'll be about 2 years after initially announced by the time DQ closes. I wonder if the NBA was trying to get the rent down since it's obvious that DQ is struggling and Disney doesn't want it.

In brand only.... with a building that size it'll have to be something much more than NBA City.

I am expecting something like this, College Basketball Experience - INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS I have been to it and it's pretty fun with friends.

Why is it hard that they can't just simply have something Ala' of NBCGB but with the ESPN? I mean, for gods sake; if they want to go to a sports market, they could've went for the easiest to do that would've encompased the entire sports market and that it would've made a hell of a lot more sense than going off of one IP.

We aren't in the early 2000's anymore, and going back to what Uni did with Nascar and NBA isn't a good idea at all.

Still confused why Disney hasn't turned this into an ESPN Zone or something yet.

Considering the financial woes ESPN is in, I'm not sure Disney would want to replace anything with a ESPN Zone right now. Sure they want some sort of brand, but not one that's on shakey ground at the moment.

Disney does not want to manage, they want to collect rent.

It sounds interesting.

The NBA Experience will be a basketball-themed experience featuring hands-on activities that put guests of all ages right in the middle of NBA game action. There will be immersive NBA video productions and numerous interactive experiences, as well as a restaurant and a retail store, Disney said.

Will the NBA just renovate the DQ building, or will the building itself be replaced?

Completely gutted.

Paddlefish had special opening tonight. The rooftop looks great!

Is... that a burger? Are they kidding me?

 

[Nick]

I certainly won't go here for a sitdown meal, but I can easily see myself hanging out on the 3rd deck at the bar... they made the design aspects of this feel like a modern, sleek (and classy) cruise ship.

Great views from the top, too:

It's crabcake, I think.

Is Paddlefish a Disney-owned restaurant?

I think the half time show was a good advert with what can be done with drones.

If it wasn't almost 2am, us Brits could easily take over this forum for the next few hours.
