Are they demo'ing or just repurposing?

Demo.

The arcade game auction runs until tomorrow, 7/6. There was a permit filed last week by the contractor that did a lot of the other Disney Springs work which I assume is the permit for the demo, so I would expect work to start pretty soon.

What about the roller coaster simulators, etc?

Demo.

Weird the way it read they were just repuposing the buidling *shrugs* obv the building needs to be fit for purpose.

I vote for them to be placed in Innoventions to replace Sum of all Thrills or in the old Arcade next to Space Mountain for those that can't ride the actual ride due to whatever so they can build a virtual ride in lieu of!

It will likely be 1-2 months before we see any external demo other than perhaps signs. Disney's demo method seems to be pretty consistent in that they gut the buildings before they take them down.

Yeah as much as the building is a giant box, there is quite a bit of potentially awkward internal demo they're going to need to do first.

(I'm also curious if there's anything in their they may chose to salvage besides some of the games.)

How are they getting things like the coaster simulator and bumpers cars out of the building?

Presumably the same way the got them into the building. There's a large service elevator in the back of the building.

 

[twilight mitsuk]

had the construction walls gone up yet?

 

[ElBendro]

Interior is currently being gutted. I'd post photos but don't want to get the parties involved in trouble if that's a no-no.

 

[twilight mitsuk]

any equipment outside the building?

 

[roj2323]

Well at least the games are going to good homes.

Wouldn't it be great if that was the real reason they closed the arcade at Space Mountain to make room for Cyber Soace Mountain!

The complete carnage on DisneyQuest has started! They've begun to tear up the little archway things and the inside looks like they let the ol' twister from Universal go nuts in there. So long 90's looking building! Hello NBA! Still gonna miss DisneyQuest though.

Not gonna lie this looked pretty awesome, does anyone know if the giant laser thingy got saved? I know Chicago's got theirs salvaged and placed in HKDL's SM.
