Ridemakerz at DTD West Side

With the announcement of Splitsville, an upscale bowling and billiards venue, taking over the 50,000 square feet originally occupied by the Virgin Megastore, the fate of the venues current tenant, Ridemakerz has been in question. In the official Splitsville announcement, Disney indicated that Ridemakerz would be housed in the Marketplace area, but no specifics were mentioned.

Ridemakerz will be sharing space in the Team Mickey store. Disney evidently feels that the RC car customization shop will be a good match with the sports and ESPN themed merchandise sold in the Team Mickey space.

Ridemakerz allows guests to choose the pieces to create one of a kind customized RC cars. Recent contracts with the Disney company have included Cars 2 chassis for the RC cars being added to the existing NASCAR and sports car themed elements featured in the store. Guests at Ridemakers choose the pieces that will make up the car, then assemble the care at a series of workbenches with guidance from employees as needed. The West Side location also featured luxury sports cars and NASCAR racing cars from Ridemakerz owners and affiliates.

According to cast members, Ridemakerz will only occupy part of the space in the current Team Mickey store, severely reducing the display area from its current dimensions. It will be interesting to see if the new location proves effective for the RC car customization company.
