Disney Quest to close in July 2017

[GenerationX]

They should move the PotC: Battle for Buccaneer Gold attraction somewhere, anywhere (Innoventions? Typhoon Lagoon? Adventureland?). This is the one stellar attraction DQ had left. We were happy to have won it one last time two weeks ago.

Rather than auctioning off the video games, they should redistribute them to arcades throughout the resorts.

We will miss DQ.

I was referring to the entire process. Pickup has to be done by the 12th, which suggests they want the place pretty much clear by the 12th.

Wasn't doubting your info, just posting more details.

This is going to be a fairly rapid clear out, with an auction of the arcade machines to be completed by July 12.

Do you know where the auction will be held?

Orlando Theme Parks News is reporting the auction will run from July 4th until July 6th.

Oh man, what I wouldn't give to get my hands on one of these babies for playing with the neighbors cats:

The could "re-imagine" Innoventions with all of the video games and such...like it was in the 90s

Go even further back what originally was planned for Communicore...

Ah, the TRON arcade. Yeah the thing that did that in was during softs/previews guests kept accidentally activating the laser. They'd get sucked into the grid, and usually end up de-rezzed in the games. Now obviously they weren't a problem at that point, but, a lot of people visit the parks as families, and usually at least one person in a family knows a lawyer and...well, you can see how this became a pretty easy decision for legal.

Does anyone know if they are doing the 50% off tickets anytime before they close? Really want to visit DQ one last time, but definitely not for full price.

 

[SosoDude]

This may be the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know where to find a video of Genie from the DQ elevator? I've seen a bad quality version on youtube, but would love to see a higher quality version...

For AP holders it is 50% off until July 1st. I haven't seen any other discounts.

There is also a 25% off for FL residents.

A permit was filed today by DPR Construction for Disney Quest. The permit does not provide a description of the work, but DPR is a big contractor, they are currently working on the Wildreness Lodge DVC project, so I am assuming this is for at least part of the NBA project. The permit doesn't have an expiration so it defaults to one year.

It was 50% when I called the other day, I was thinking about Quest or Dave and Busters. Went with D&B anyway.

 

[Rider]

Lots of people here for one last day. Reports that it was closed to capacity earlier but they are admitting guests now.

 

[NoChesterHester]

I always liked the concept of Disney Quest... too bad it never really caught on.

They just announced they are closed to capacity again.

Went on Wednesday, it was very quiet. I'm almost a bit surprised that they didn't leave it open until after the 4th of July. With the CM auction and them clearing out fairly quickly there must be a time crunch for some reason.

If only they were closing it every day it would have been profitable!

Aww man...If it always looked like this... They probably have things open that they haven't had open in at least 10-15 years..
