disney quest

[LeeB99]

I actually wrote up a report the other day when I got back home. I didn't have enough time to scrutinize the games in great detail, but I was able to make comments on things that I took the time to look at. One of the strangest things that I noticed was how the "explosion" sound effects on their Asteroids Deluxe was replaced with what sounded like MUSICAL NOTES! Unfortunately, the volume was so low that I didn't bother making a recording. And it still was missing the blue film monitor cover. Check out my other thread for more details, along with a report from the "World Famous King Of Kong Arcade"...

I find this repulsive, but I also think it's cool that park execs haven't just ground those games up, I'm sure they're not a big money maker in that park. What's the cost of admission out of curiosity? I'd like to see what makes more money - their keychains or their arcade.

Has anyone gone recently? We'll be there next week and I wanted to make sure it would be worth the 147 bucks or so I am going to have to pay just to walk in the front door with my family. I'd hate to come away hating the place. I could buy 3 or 4 hamburgers in Hollywood Studios for the same price.

my bad, wrong disney locale

I should have mentioned (don't know if there are any more of these) I am referring to Orlando. We have an extra day and the prospect of going to Hogwart's in 100 degree humid Florida heat breaks that illusion for me so I am looking for a good alternative (the other days will be all Disney or Diz-Me as our son pronounces it) to spend the extra day without spending too much. We may just dig into Downtown Disney for a day (easy enough to do). But if the games are working I would like my son to see a "real" arcade for once.

Yeah, I was a lot less than impressed with Disney quest in Orlando last year. I think the best game they had in the place was Sega's Let's go Jungle. For the hefty price of admission, I expected more games than gimmicks, but most of the attractions were lame attempts at VR with per-Kinect levels of motion detection and late 90's 3-d graphics. As others mentioned, they did have a lot of classic arcade games with the sound turned way down. They also had some awful DC comics beat-em-up with 3d graphics that was probably a recent release, but couldn't compare favorably to any of the konami multiplayer stuff from the 90's.

On the pinball front, they did have an Indiana Jones and spiderman pinball, both both had really weak flippers. They had an ultra pin as well, but If anything the ultrapin just convinced me of what a bargain the Williams Collection on PS3 was at $10...the virtual pin dropped frames and generally just didn't fell like the emulation was accurate, which isn't really disney's fault aside from opting to buy it.

I really can't recommend it...for the price, you might as well spend some time on the excellent Harry Potter ride at universal or just bum around downtown Disney, since the games won't hold your interest long enough to warrant paying $30 or so.

That's a pity -- I'm planning on an Orlando trip in a few months and this seemed like a must-go destination. No sense in going if the machines are all broken down and it's insane that they can't get any of them fixed with what they charge for admission.

all the newer games are fine. they dont really keep the older ones in top notch conditon like they should. here is a tip if you want to check the place out. every weekday about 7 or 8 oclock pm, they cut the price in half so if you want to get in for about 20 bucks that isnt to bad.
