AoA and Pop arcades are the largest. Contemporary hasn't been good since the 70's.

This is why the NoBody's Around Experience should become a Barcade..

My family loved DisneyQuest. We've really missed it on our last few trips.

I used to love spending an hour or so at the arcade at Port Orleans Riverside. They used to have this tank driving game and a large 18 Wheeler arcade cabinet which were so much fun to play!

I would think the Boardwalk would be a perfect place to put a good arcade. Take that magician spot that has very little magic and do the Barcade there.

We enjoyed DQ years ago... but it was so very loud and crowded. There was no guarantee that the game you wanted to play would be open because there was no time limit on someone hogging it forever. But at least you had many levels of games to move on to play. DQ had its time and quickly over ran its relevancy. The games became outdated and not attractive to the newer generation of players. Weve spent time in the resort arcades only when we're done in the parks or if its being a very bad stormy day that limits park time. I'm not paying prime money to Disney to sit in an arcade and play games.

Which is one of the reasons I liked it. I played a lot in the 80's, so it was fun to revisit the games decades later that were no longer popular (Robotron, Missile Command, etc) to see if I still had the muscle memory.

I enjoyed the older stuff too, and enjoyed playing them too. The issue was Disney wasnt counting on DQ attracting adults as much as they needed to drive the kids in and keep them coming. Sadly they didnt keep their interest with games over time that could do that.

Still hoping there is source loops swimming around of the music of Disneyquest..the Ventureport and fifth floor loops were the best ones...Like this one that was done..

I loved DisneyQuest - it combined very nicely with the Downtown Disney check-in service that Virgin Atlantic offered to become a last day of the trip tradition before heading to the airport.
I'd love to see an updated version return, including an updated CyberSpace Mountain and dedicated retro games areas.

I enjoyed Disney Quest to begin with, but, towards the end of it's life it was outdated.

All they had to do was keep it updated and it would still be an amazing place for familys.

Loved the pirate ship ride and the ride where you went to another planet to rescue people while being attacked by aliens. The announcement at the end was that the President wanted to greet us. Never met the President though.

This does bring up the question if this was cannon to the former Tomorrowland attraction as it seems Chairmen Clench made it to Earth when the teleportation went awry..Unless this is before said incidents.
I think it could have been viable if they had simply maintained the games they had. I know the couple of time we went there when it was open my daughter and I decided to just go games and see if we could find any where everything still worked. A dozen games and not a single one that still worked properly.
Was pretty sad. I worked in an arcade when I was in high school in the 80's and it isn't difficult to keep a game working. Mostly times it comes down to replacing a button or joy stick that will take less than 30 minutes to do. I doubt some of the Disney Quest games had ever even been opened since they moved them in. The maintenance of the stuff was simply pathetic.
