DS Update: NBA Experience Building Still Vacant

When Disney demolished DisneyQuest and replaced it with the equally massive NBA Experience, we expressed skepticism that this was a wise idea. Universal had recently closed its NBA City Restaurant in CityWalk after a long run but what made Disney think a NBA-themed attraction would do any better? It didn't. It opened around June, 2019 and then closed with Disney's covid-19 closures in early 2020. When those closures ended and Disney Springs reopened, NBA Experience did not.

Part of the problem no doubt is the massive size of the building. It's tall and it runs deep. Maybe Ridemakerz can move in and fill the bottom floor like it did when the Virgin Records store closed!
