My husband is a huge NBA fan. His team, the San Antonio Spurs, is consistently on in our house. So, I can guarantee you that we will be making a beeline to the brand new NBA Experience when it debuts on August 12 at Disney Springs.
This all-new, fun-filled destination has been a collaboration in the making with the NBA. When Guests step inside it is slated to make them feel what it’s like being a basketball superstar. Here, Guests will be invited to “Take Your Shot” courtesy of one of 13 interactive elements and hands-on activities across 44,000 square feet and two floors.
Guests will enter the NBA Experience and feel as if they’re walking through the players’ tunnel at an arena. This will be a ticketed experience and Guests will be able to take part in every activity and learn more about the game that they love.
Activities will include:
- A slam dunk challenge, where Guests can change the height of a standard 10-foot hoop to as low as seven feet to perform their own superstar moves – captured by burst photography.
- An activity that tests shooting skills with spots on a court that light up as guests move from one location to another attempting to sink as many shots as possible in 15 seconds.
- A way for guests to see how they stack up to some of the world’s best basketball players by measuring their vertical leap, wingspan, shooting and dribbling.
- Personalization for various activities with guests’ names and associating the activity with their favorite teams.
- Real-time technology to aggregate statistics of NBA and WNBA games and players for continuous updates, while leaderboards will track top NBA Experience performers throughout each day.
- A retail store featuring NBA-themed merchandise.
