It is somewhat new...a few years old I think.I didn't know there was one down there. We love D&B but the closest one to us is 1.5 hours away.

Two hours is plenty of time, normally; with the announced closing, there may be extra lines from people wanting to see it one last time. The virtual rides are fun and something you'll never see anywhere else, but it's not worth a special trip, especially if things are still in disrepair.We have never been; however, we were thinking of going with our kids this June. Is it even worth it or should we just spend the time enjoying Disney Springs instead? Is two hours enough time to see it?
We used to use it for the occasional day when it was going to be a long thunderstorm because we could stay dry... but the only two things I'll miss about it are the pirates and build your own roller coaster. The other games worth playing can be found in other places, their other VR games were pretty bad, maybe cool when they first opened but Disney never seemed willing to pump any money back into the place after they opened it. Has been a couple of years since we went there and I actually felt ripped off by the fact that I don't think I found a single regular video game that worked as it should.... That said I don't know if it will really close in July.... They had announced it closing before and then at the last minute kept it open... guess no matter how low the number of visitors goes it probably still makes money since the appear to spend absolutely nothing on maintenance.Disneyquest is a treasure trove for a gamer like myself. Especially with arcades being nearly extinct. However, I go to Disney for parks and resorts, and if there's an arcade in my resort, cool, but I'm not willing to pay extra to spend an entire day there. It's a shame that the place is stuck in 1996. I like it for the nostalgia effect, but unfortunately the only people using that building now are locals who drop their kids off for the day on a Saturday.
Ahh I remember genie ,that was great at the time,but even the elevator looked tired,you know what though,there are a awful lot of posts stating that Disney needs to start updating and giving things a lick of paint ,they have the money so let's hope things start looking great againThey were all fun, but I had a special fondness for the Pirates ride. Sure, you kids with your VR and your Oculus can play all kinds of snazzy games, but can you stand on the deck of a pirate ship and shoot cannons at ghost pirate ships coming at you from all sides?? Only at DisneyQuest.
My last visit in October was a bit sad. The virtual games were all there, and there was a line for them (!) but so many classic arcade games were down for maintenance, the food stand was closed, and even the Genie wasn't in the elevators anymore.
Disney quest always smells like feet
They must have a different sort of feet down in Orlando, the type that smell like humid air conditioning and windex.Disney quest always smells like feet

Or live forever!Disney Quest - The place where old 80's video games go to die.
