PI Update: 8TRAX

Sources say that the downstairs bar inside 8TRAX has been removed. This is the bar directly across from the entrance pictured to your left.

8TRAX is also currently being used to store clothing and other merchandise for the new D-Street/Vinylmation store opening soon in Downtown Disney West Side.

Elsewhere, the new Ridemakerz store opens tomorrow on the West Side featuring 12 life size car models.

  1. Dont understand why they use it as a storage locker when it could be making money for them!

  2. Because some Disney execs would have to admit they made a bad decision...and that'll never happen.

  3. They brought back the Electrical Parade and Captain EO they can bring back the clubs. Idiots are running the show.

  4. Do you think there is a chance a new version of the clubs will open up at that Flamingo Crossroads place?

  5. When announced, Flamingo Crossings was to be a mix of lower to moderate prices hotels, restaurants and shops. There was no entertainment element to it. The roads are finished and the infrastructure is all there....but no tenants. Could they build a PI 2.0 out there? Yes. Will they? No current rumors say that.

  6. Typically, Flamingo Crossings was just another "Crossroads" shopping center. It's all leased space; no Disney.

  7. That's my understanding too, Joe. Could change but I would not expect it to. The land has been de-annexed from the Reedy Creek Improvement District and the City of Bay Lake, Florida.

  9. the only ONLY way Disney would WILL do PI 2.0 is the get rid of all of the uppers they have now!!!! you know what that means NO FRICKING way! and even if they did PI 2.0 what do you think would it would look like the clubs will never be like the old (GOOD) we knew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I would not go! I wish someone and or Company would do a there version of PI? so I DO NOT have to spend more of my money @ disney!

  10. As much as we dislike Disney for closing the clubs, fact is that Disney is a quality operation that can produce a product (like the PI clubs) that are beyond compare. When I was in ADH the other night I stared at the ceiling in awe of the detail and quality. Adventurers Club will be returning in a new locale. If only they'd reopen a couple of the others, old locale or new. I would so be there!

  11. KingBob, you said "Adventurers Club *will* be returning in a new locale." Is this wishful thinking only, or do you know something we don't know? :-)

  12. Most of what I know was posted in my February 24th Blog posting. I do know a little more than that which I'm not at liberty to post in order to protect sources.

    I don't think even Disney knows yet WHERE it's going to go, but they do know WHEN.
