Where's this at?

That is at the Penny Arcade on Main Street USA in Disneyland. They have a lot of games in there, some are antique ones that have been restored, and some are newer like this Pinnochio one that still blend in with the Main Street theme. Most of the old games are a nickel or a dime, but some of the newer ones are a quarter. They also have those stereoscope moving picture machines that are a penny, and a huge caliope organ on the back wall that plays Disney and ragtime music for a quarter.

The Penny Arcade at WDW's Main Street USA operated from 1971 to 1995. It is now the home of the Hall of Champions sports shop selling ESPN and Disney athletic attire. You won't find any games at WDW's Main Street USA.

WDW removed most of the non-merchandise space from their Main Street USA in the 1990's and have never looked back.

The Main Street Cinema in WDW was also turned into a shop, but at Disneyland it is still a real cinema with six screens showing Mickey Mouse cartoons from the 1920's.

I had a feeling it was the Penny Arcade. Thanks. I remember it at Disney World from '90. I miss it sometimes but can understand why it's not there anymore. I remember the six-screen theater at Disney World in '90 too.

Unlike WDW, Disneyland also has kept its Main Street Fire Department as simply a.... wait for it... Fire Department. :cool:

No stuffed animals for sale, no cash registers, just cool old-fashioned firefighting stuff and a horse drawn firetruck on display. They still have the firemans brass pole that goes upstairs to Walt's apartment too.

Well, it's frickin' Walt's apartment. They can't touch THAT!! Also, Disneyland probably doesn't sell as much because they most likely don't need to pay for as much unlike WDW
