Pleasant Grove ‘virtual reality’ entertainment center on track to open this summer or fall

First, entrepreneur Ken Bretschneider came up with plans to develop The Void, a “virtual entertainment center” scheduled to open this summer or fall in Utah County.

On Tuesday, the high-tech businessman announced plans to expand his entertainment footprint with the construction of The Grid, a 100,000-square-foot “experience center, an electronic playground” featuring an indoor race track with vehicles capable of going 60 mph (provided drivers are qualified to handle that speed).

He’s also broken ground and has buildings rising in a 14-acre park called Evermore, a rendition of a European village of the 18th or early 19th century that “lends itself to the idea of fantasy and romance … theatrical immersive entertainment” for its visitors.
