On June 30, 2015...

>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.

Ha, I used to live in Chicago. Our location closed 15 years ago. Learn to get over it. One of us has to ;_;

The company they were gonna lease the property to pulled out. I don't think it's going anywhere for awhile.

>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.

>Our location closed 15 years ago. Learn to get over it.
Didn't it only last for like two-three years though?

Have you been there recently?

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.

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.

>Shopping Center: The Park
Wow, such a great loss

>Shopping Center: The Park
I'm not talking about Downtown. DisneyQuest is the center with all the arcade games int.

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.

You do realize that they're probably going to put those arcade games in a different section of the park, right?

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

It's fine as long as contemporary still has that F-Zero AX machine

Phew.

>Not liking the Disney shopping mall
Fucking disgraceful

>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.

here's pic of the model of the new era.

Doesn't look half-bad. What stores does it have? I saw a Sephora on another picture.

>Didn't it only last for like two-three years though?
Yup. It was WAY too fucking expensive to operate.

>being this ignorant and deprived of the DisneyQuest experience

But.. where are the 300 metter tall towers they promised? The Al Shakira and Burj La'Tifah?

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.

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.

>still playing arcade games

get with the times grandpa.

You can get the same experience for less money at a Dave and Busters or just buy/pirate the individual games.

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

They'll probably end up at Cast Connection.

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.

I went to Disney Quest for the first and only time a year back. Everything was EXTREMELY dated it was embarrassing.

if you have no idea what disney quest is please stop

That backdrop looks blatantly photoshopped.

it is. the game was 3d so you couldnt take an actual picture of it

Wasn't DisneyQuest originally going to be a chain of indoor parks?

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

I really wish they had some of the shit on here though

Didn't Michael Eisner try to make a Chuck E Cheese wannabe but with Disney characters at one point?

>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

Bump

Nigga, nothing beats playing a full 8 player Daytona race.

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.

Where am I going to marathon rerave now? D:

>Tfw they replaced Daytona with the shitty Nascar game

I'M GONNA BUY THAT RERAVE MACHINE! REEEEEEEEEEE

This was weird. Giant dinosaurs and legos statues and then suddenly a shopping center rich middle age women would shop at.

Newsflash OP: you no longer fall within their target audience.

Get used to it.

>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.

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.

>haven't been to Disney World in over 10 years

Fuck I wish i had money

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.

>going to Jewpark
>not going to Busch Gardens

fucking morons

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".

fucking morons.

>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.

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.

>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.

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.

people tell me to all the time so I've been meaning to check them out one day

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.

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.

bump

You do know Downtown Disney doesn't require admission... Right? Only DisneyQuest, the arcade, requires admission.

Was it not generating enough revenue?

I always go into the christmas store and get ornaments for family members as x-mas gifts when I go. Such a comfy store.

also it was cheaper than the full parks

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't, it was expensive as fuck.

Disney World doesn't admit single males anyway, it's a moot point.

Bullshit. I go all the time by myself to Epcot. I use the single rider for test track like all day

Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios also have Christmas stores and they sell the same shit.

Disney made a bunch of exclusive custom games for it that'll be gone once it closes.

bump

>not getting Masters of the High Seas on your first try
Git gud, landlubber

> Disney cp phone interview in ten minutes
> Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck my heart

What's that on her leg?

Ewww!

Looks like that's just a cicada. They're bros.

DisneyQuest would really use a update with the uses of brand new technology such as VR soon to become common place

>Its getting replaces by an NBA themed restaurant
I, for one, welcome our new hoop ball over lords!

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.

I stop giving a fuck about what a Buisness will do to make money
You should have realize that

>Quad City DJ's: Space Jam is played 24/7

Oh wait, that's Warner Bros.

>tfw 22 and have never been to Disney World
:(

if you aint getting your hair pulled out by the 200 pound aladdin VR head set death grip then you aint Disney Questin

Did Goofy died?

I hope you get the job, user!

the disneyland tower was inferior anyway. wdw is the true experience

>d&b
>rollercoaster simulator

nah

This creeps me out for some reason..

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.
