DisneyQuest To Close Soon to Make Way for the NBA Experience

WDWNT on December 7, 2015

Yesterday was the last day guests would be able to purchase annual pass tickets for the DisneyQuest “indoor interactive theme park” on Downtown Disney’s West Side. The move confirms the yet-to-be-announced closure of the attraction in the coming months as part of the Disney Springs overhaul of Downtown Disney.

The NBA Experience is expected to replace DisneyQuest, using all of the space formerly occupied by the failed Disney experiment.

The NBA Experience at Walt Disney World Resort is going to be a one-of-a-kind destination featuring hands-on activities that put families and guests of all ages right in the middle of NBA game action. You’ll be able to explore inside the world of professional basketball with numerous interactive experiences and enjoy a restaurant and retail store.

The NBA Experience will replace DisneyQuest sometime in 2016.

This will start as an 8 figure Open Window set. They then can then add more teams later on. All the figures have the same basic design. A team colored basketball for a head. The team logo is on the front of the body with the teams colors in back of it and alternate team colors on the sides. They also have wristbands of the team color painted on each arm. For as big as sneakers are in basketball, I thought the feet would have a little more detail.
