DisneyQuest



         


DisneyQuest is an "Indoor Interactive Theme Park" located at the Downtown Disney area of the Walt Disney World Resort. It contains several virtual reality attractions, classic and recent arcade video games, web terminals, and a Skeeball, "shoot-the-hoops," and other games of skill. Some of these can be played for free. Others cost a small fee to play and in return dispense tickets which can be redeemed for small prizes.

All games and attractions inside DisneyQuest are free after admission is paid ($25-$31). When DisneyQuest was first opened it had a lower admission fee but each attraction and game required a player to swipe a card to pay "credits" for it, and the card could be "recharged" by putting it and some money into a recharging station, similar to Dave & Buster's gaming restaurants. This was greatly unpopular with parents, however, who didn't like that there was nothing to do once they stopped spending money recharging the cards, so DisneyQuest moved to a single flat fee for entry.

There originally were to be four DisneyQuest locations. One in Chicago was built and open to the public for a while, but it was eventually closed due to low attendance. Construction began on a DisneyQuest in Philadelphia but plans were scrapped before it opened, and a DisneyQuest at Disneyland Resort in California never proceeded past the planning stage.
