RIDEMAKERZ at Downtown Disney to close in May
Many of you already knew this, but for all of you who missed this news, Ridemakerz at Downtown Disney is slated to close very soon. Take a look at this news, from the official Ridemakerz press release:
_________________________________________________________________________
RIDEMAKERZ recently announced [that] its Downtown Disney shop at Lake Buena Vista, Florida won worldwide "Pop-Up Store of the Year." This is the second year in a row that RIDEMAKERZ has claimed the award presented by Chain Store Age magazine. The award recognizes RIDEMAKERZ for its creativity in transforming a 16,000 plus square foot retail venue into an auto-garage where kids and kids at heart can customize their own 1:18 scale toy vehicles, or RIDEZ.
"It's an incredible acknowledgement for RIDEMAKERZ to win Pop-Up Store of the Year two years in a row, especially given the momentum and creativity in this rapidly expanding category," said Larry Andreini, ZEO (CEO), RIDEMAKERZ. "Disney offered us an incredible space, and we were able to deliver a one-of-a-kind RIDEMAKERZ experience for the ages."
Much like its fully-customizable RIDEZ, the RIDEMAKERZ pop-up at Downtown Disney - Lake Buena Vista was completely tricked out. The shop immersed customizers in a real world auto salon with show-quality cars, including rides from the personal collection of legendary car customizer Chip Foose. Additionally, a specially designed radio-control track lets customizers play with their creations on-site.

The strange thing is that the store won an award, and is therefore... closing down? They may be moving, of course, but Ridemakerz has not announce any future projects yet. Stay tuned for more news.
