Pinballz Kingdom lowers the drawbridge to Buda

BUDA – A $6 million project will convert the abandoned Dorsett truck stop near I-35 and Main St. into Pinballz Kingdom, a 25,000-sf family entertainment center.

The owners of Pinballz Kingdom are constructing an arcade, full restaurant, laser tag and live music venue at the building and the surrounding 13 acres. The project’s second phase will include construction of walls and a drawbridge to mimic the look of a castle.

Pinballz Kingdom will have a capacity of several hundred when it opens and will eventually expand to accommodate more than 1,000 customers at a time. The project is expected to open summer 2014, and will hire between 25 and 30 workers.
