>On June 30, 2015, Disney officials announced that the Walt Disney World location would close in 2016 as part of the continued redevelopment of Downtown Disney into Disney Springs. A spokesperson for the labor unions that represent Disney employees who work at DisneyQuest stated that displaced workers will be relocated to other positions.
HOL' UP
HOL' THE FUCK UP
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT THAT I AM READING HERE?
YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE AWAY OVER A DECADE OF MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD LIKE THIS FOR ONE OF THE ONLY REASONS YOU WOULD BRING KIDS TO DOWNTOWN DISNEY YOU FUCKS
Ha, I used to live in Chicago. Our location closed 15 years ago. Learn to get over it. One of us has to ;_;
Jose Carter
The company they were gonna lease the property to pulled out. I don't think it's going anywhere for awhile.
Andrew Perez
>Downtown Disney into Disney Springs Please tell me it's just going to be an MGM Studios -> Hollywood Studios deal. Downtown Disney is my second favorite area of WDW.
Ayden Nguyen
>Our location closed 15 years ago. Learn to get over it. Didn't it only last for like two-three years though?
Elijah Collins
Have you been there recently?
Eli Brooks
Wow I am shocked that DisneyQuest was still around. I remember playing SNK vs Capcom or MvC or something for the first time there. I can't imagine it was doing well for them and I'd imagine most of the "games" are extremely dated.
Nathaniel Ross
Disney stopped giving a shit about Disney Quest a long time ago. The VR games were cool 16-17 years ago, but they never really did anything other than those original ones. Maybe it'll come back when people buy new VR tech and it gets more financially lucrative for them.
Ryder James
>Shopping Center: The Park Wow, such a great loss
Nolan Perry
>Shopping Center: The Park I'm not talking about Downtown. DisneyQuest is the center with all the arcade games int.
Jason Russell
Last time I've been to WDW was in 2013.
Fuck man, as long as the old stores are still there I'll be OK. The Town Center area was made from a parking lot so it doesn't hurt too bad.
Carson Rivera
You do realize that they're probably going to put those arcade games in a different section of the park, right?
Dominic Morales
It's a name change plus expanded shopping section. Most of the classic downtown disney stores like World of Disney etc still remain. the new stuff is West of T-Rex restaurant
Angel Johnson
It's fine as long as contemporary still has that F-Zero AX machine
Cooper Williams
Phew.
>Not liking the Disney shopping mall Fucking disgraceful
Eli Gonzalez
>go to expensive ass theme park >waste time in an arcade They might not be as popular as before, but you can still find fucking arcades just about anywhere if you look hard enough.
Luis Ortiz
here's pic of the model of the new era.
Jeremiah Thomas
Doesn't look half-bad. What stores does it have? I saw a Sephora on another picture.
Michael Morales
>Didn't it only last for like two-three years though? Yup. It was WAY too fucking expensive to operate.
Benjamin Hernandez
>being this ignorant and deprived of the DisneyQuest experience
Jacob Green
But.. where are the 300 metter tall towers they promised? The Al Shakira and Burj La'Tifah?
Bentley Barnes
First time hearing this. Did they promise that? Or is that just a joke?
I don't know the specific stores since i have not been to the new place yet. But you probably could find the list on Disney website.
Christopher Reyes
While we're on the subject of Disney parks. I know that I will get a lot of hate for saying this but I am rather optimistic about Mission Breakout retheme of Tower of Terror at DCA mostly because I really like GOTG.
Ryan Gomez
>still playing arcade games
get with the times grandpa.
Hudson Phillips
You can get the same experience for less money at a Dave and Busters or just buy/pirate the individual games.
Evan Moore
WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THOSE ARCADE CABINETS
THOSE FUCKING EMPLOYEES WOULDNT TELL ME LAST TIME I WENT THERE
I DONT WANT THOSE PRECIOUS RELICS TO DISAPPEAR
Connor Robinson
They'll probably end up at Cast Connection.
Cooper Cooper
They also closed Pleasure Island and added a ton of stores, like an Under Armour store, a Billabong, Kate Spade, MAC, Zara, etc. A bunch of new restaurants, a cupcake shop; they're also re-doing the seafood boat restaurant.
Benjamin Parker
I went to Disney Quest for the first and only time a year back. Everything was EXTREMELY dated it was embarrassing.
Chase Nelson
if you have no idea what disney quest is please stop
Grayson Williams
That backdrop looks blatantly photoshopped.
Jayden Jackson
it is. the game was 3d so you couldnt take an actual picture of it
James Sullivan
Wasn't DisneyQuest originally going to be a chain of indoor parks?
Nicholas Peterson
Most arcades have a shitty selection, at least Disney Quest had Soul calibur and a couple others >But homeports Yeah, go enjoy playing the game alone without a proper arcade stick
Didn't Michael Eisner try to make a Chuck E Cheese wannabe but with Disney characters at one point?
William Parker
>signing up for the college program >mfw if I am there in Spring '17 I might get to snatch a machine if you're right
Nathan Parker
Bump
Adrian Thompson
Nigga, nothing beats playing a full 8 player Daytona race.
Jaxon Barnes
How dated? I don't mind old games if they work well. I mean hell, I regularly play SoulCalibur 3 AE, the Sega Star Wars game and fucking Silent Scope 2/Jurassic Park in my mall's arcade.
Owen Collins
Where am I going to marathon rerave now? D:
Owen Thomas
>Tfw they replaced Daytona with the shitty Nascar game
Luis Price
I'M GONNA BUY THAT RERAVE MACHINE! REEEEEEEEEEE
Luis Johnson
This was weird. Giant dinosaurs and legos statues and then suddenly a shopping center rich middle age women would shop at.
Xavier Ross
Newsflash OP: you no longer fall within their target audience.
Get used to it.
Thomas Garcia
>YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE AWAY OVER A DECADE OF MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD LIKE THIS They already did that to me basically when the Virgin Megastore closed down, but that's to be expected when bookstores have been disappearing for years now.
At least they opened this place up recently and it's pretty cool. Not nearly as huge or great as The Adventurer's Club was, but still more interesting than most of the bars there.
Christopher Green
Dated, yes. But the Pirates game was A+++. Remember me and my dad used to kick ass at that game, just the two of us. We outdid whole families' worth of wannabe buccaneers. Good times. Good times.
Leo Roberts
>haven't been to Disney World in over 10 years
Fuck I wish i had money
Zachary Flores
Disneyquest kinda sucks, the only good things left were the fighting game cabinets. They don't keep shit clean and fixed and a lot of stuff is just busted or out of order.
Parker Gomez
>going to Jewpark >not going to Busch Gardens
fucking morons
Asher King
Also, I was at "disney springs" about 3 months ago
All the stores are fucking expensive bullshit for preppy wasp families, like diesel stores and under armour, ther's even a fucking store called "FILTHY RICH".
>Going to busch gardens >Not going to your local zoo for animals >Not going to your local fair for rides fucking morons.
Jeremiah Bell
>Early 2000's >Live in Florida >Be at summer camp >Every Wednesday or Friday we'd have a big field trip to a small amusement park or movies >Me being a picky only child, sometimes my parents would leave me at my grandparents if I didn't want to go on a trip >See on camp schedule that DisneyQuest is the next field trip >Don't know what that is, description says "indoor amusement park" >Being the huge pussy I am, I instantly fear that I'll get left behind at didney wurl (common fear for me back when I was younger and without cell phone) >Ask my parents to drop me off at grandparent's house that day >12 years later, still haven't gone, moved to NY >See this >Instant regret
I mean, I'm happy that I spent the day with my grandma, but kinda wish I spent the day with my friends playing games all day.
Fuck, I was a stupid kid.
Cooper King
Unless you're eating at one of the restaurants, going to Disney Springs is a waste of time. The only decent stores are the ones selling Disney merch and it's all stuff you can find in the parks anyway.
Ayden Young
>Went back to the Lego store for Bonkles >Bonkle got cancelled >Again
World of Disney, pin store, and the art place is pretty cool. Keep meaning to look for something in the cooking store but I never find anything.
Jack Jackson
If youre not just playing the pirate game over and over until you get Masters of the High Seas rank, then you aint Disney Questin.
Ethan Ortiz
people tell me to all the time so I've been meaning to check them out one day
Wyatt Nelson
Can't speak for Florida, but the one in Williamsburg is awesome. The food's actually pretty good, too, IIRC. That said it's been a while.
Jason Nguyen
I remember going to the LEGO store when the first gen of Bonkles was ending and there was nothing there but the Legend Reborn DVD and guidebook. One of the clerks told me about Hero Factory before it was announced. Was pretty cool. The guidebook made me actually like the final year of Bionicle, story-wise.
Cooper Gomez
bump
Benjamin Torres
You do know Downtown Disney doesn't require admission... Right? Only DisneyQuest, the arcade, requires admission.
Nolan Sanders
Was it not generating enough revenue?
Jonathan Anderson
I always go into the christmas store and get ornaments for family members as x-mas gifts when I go. Such a comfy store.
Justin Anderson
also it was cheaper than the full parks
Joseph Bennett
I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't, it was expensive as fuck.
Nolan Collins
Disney World doesn't admit single males anyway, it's a moot point.
Nathaniel Brooks
Bullshit. I go all the time by myself to Epcot. I use the single rider for test track like all day
Jose Rivera
Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios also have Christmas stores and they sell the same shit.
Jace Jones
Disney made a bunch of exclusive custom games for it that'll be gone once it closes.
Brayden Morris
bump
Liam Moore
>not getting Masters of the High Seas on your first try Git gud, landlubber
Samuel Powell
> Disney cp phone interview in ten minutes > Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck my heart
Alexander Hughes
What's that on her leg?
Mason Allen
Ewww!
Carter Johnson
Looks like that's just a cicada. They're bros.
Jacob Hall
DisneyQuest would really use a update with the uses of brand new technology such as VR soon to become common place
Colton Butler
>Its getting replaces by an NBA themed restaurant I, for one, welcome our new hoop ball over lords!
Julian Bennett
It only lasted 20 minutes. Half of it was explaining roles and asking me yes or no questions. I barely had the opportunity to explain my qualifications or mention anything memorable and I'm afraid I may not have sounded confident because it went so damn quick and I was prepared for more time and more questions.
Thomas Morris
I stop giving a fuck about what a Buisness will do to make money You should have realize that
Carter Murphy
>Quad City DJ's: Space Jam is played 24/7
Oh wait, that's Warner Bros.
Isaac Reed
>tfw 22 and have never been to Disney World :(
Samuel Edwards
if you aint getting your hair pulled out by the 200 pound aladdin VR head set death grip then you aint Disney Questin
Isaac Green
Did Goofy died?
Evan Hughes
I hope you get the job, user!
Ayden Thompson
the disneyland tower was inferior anyway. wdw is the true experience
>d&b >rollercoaster simulator
nah
Juan Rodriguez
This creeps me out for some reason..
Julian Flores
Thank you! I regret not having the chance to properly describe how passionate I would be about working for the Disney Corporation but I'm hoping I'm just over thinking things and maybe I came off better than I think I did. Or perhaps they will take pity on me.
