The NBA EXPERIENCE is a new attraction at Disney Springs, that opened in August of 2019 in Orlando, Florida. Adults and kids alike can live out their basketball dreams with the hardcourt, visit a replica of a locker room and learn about the history of basketball. Enter an immersive world where all of your basketball dreams are just a layup away.
Once again, Glasshape were honored to team up with VIVA Railings on this exciting project, which included twin Circular Staircases, that are topped off by hoop-like Bent Glass Railing, providing a 360 degree, stadium view of the center court access point to the numerous interactive NBA themed activities in this Disney attraction. The Bent Glass was glazed into VIVA Railings propriety SHOE™ Aluminum Glass Railing System by Altamonte Glass & Mirror. The combined experience and quality of product and service ensured this project was a slam dunk!
The NBA EXPERIENCE was designed by the Stantec – Orlando branch which has successfully delivered a wide portfolio of Disney Imagineering projects. Inside this impressive venue, you can enjoy 13 unique experiences that merge the magic of Disney with the thrills of the NBA. Step through the Player Entry Tunnel and be welcomed by the roar of an excited crowd and embark on the full player journey, from training to competitions to championships and beyond.
