Disney Quest to close in July 2017

[imagineer boy]

Not missing much..Layout was identical from each other except they had an extra game in the explore zone..

True. And the POTC simulator wasn't open yet when I went to Chicago's version.

This can't just be a restaurant, sports bar, merch location -- there's going to be some significant interactive stuff.

I can see them turning Buzz Lightyear's Astroblaster into a basketball court (especially since the restaurant has a view of it).

 

[imagineer boy]

Maybe they could get Cirque to introduce a new show as well? La Nouba has been around forever.

If it continues to draw crowds and make money then odds are they won't replace it.

Ohhhh Yeaahh....I remember now..

I've always wanted to do Disney Quest, but never wanted to give up park time. So maybe I'm part of the problem

NBA isn't big where I live, but that's probably because our team is pretty bad (or so I think. I don't really follow sports). I've met people in Europe who care more about basketball than they do about soccer, and basketball is pretty big in China as well, so maybe this will work?

The only reason I'm going to miss DisneyQuest is because it's the last place where I seen an area filled with Arcade from the 80's which can be very rare to find these days. I mean when was the last time you seen an arcade cabinet of Donkey Kong or Mappy at any area?

Yes seems likely. To be replaced by the NBA Experience.

Disney not updating the games was the problem.

The graphics on most of the headlining games was about equivalent to a 1st generation Wii.

Disney Quest is in a terrible state now, I really wish it would have just been upgraded to something from Wreck-it Ralph, instead of opening a stupid sports bar.

Fast Forward arcade at Pop Century...

If it has a sports bar with a ton of TVs - I'm game

Disney not updating the games was the problem.

And the cause of that was the abandoning of the multiple DQ nationwide concept. If there were multiple ones throughout the country then spreading out the costs for R&D of new attractions among them would have been cost effective.

I hope they repurpose the games into Innoventions at EPCOT. That would be kind of fun

If Disneyquest closes, I can see many people (myself included) not upgrading to the water park and more option..i will pass on the option and just get a one day pass to Volcano Bay. minus.$400 for Disney

That's the issue with the ane more options. If we have a 5 day pass for a 7 day trip, we have 5 and more's to use. We will use all 5 park days, which leaves us two other days. So we do a water park one of those days followed by minigolf (but we have to minigolf before 4pm, so short water park day). That's 2 of our 5 and more options. The 2nd day we want to shop at DTD, maybe go to La Nouba or tour the resorts... so maybe we try the other minigolf. That's 3 of our and more options. What am I supposed to do with the last two? Maybe I go to a water park twice instead of shopping? It's likely more economical to just pay at the gate for the water park day.

We've never been there when ESPN had anything we could attend for. Or would want to.

This is sad I know DQ is hopelessly out of date but wish they'd just given it a big update!

 

[CaptainAmerica]

disney is courting disaster with a NBA themed building..
and im not being cute here

Care to elaborate?

Aaaaand they're adding a tenant that will pay them rent every month. Plus tens of thousands of dollars for Disney. I think they'll be fine without your $400.

When you have attractions being run by Compaq you know it's outdated...

 

[GymLeaderPhil]

Annual Pass sales for DisneyQuest and the combo ones with Water Parks are concluding today.

 

[TyrantBoss]

Everything about Disney Quest and that area of Downtown Disney just bores the living hell out of me.
However, from what I have seen from the start of Disney Springs......how many restaurants and shops do they need in one location.

It looks like it's becoming one giant, very expensive, outlet mall.
