Sadly, Flynns Arcade/ elecTRONica at Disneyland California Adventure is at it's final day of existence today.

If any other klov homies are visiting the most famous and legendary arcade of cinematic history one last time today, say wassup to the guy in the all black letter-man jacket (me).

R.I.P
Flynns Arcade / elecTRONica
Oct. 2010- Apr. 2012

 
Sad to hear. Thanks for the video - it was a fun spot!

I thought it was funny to watch the employees teach everyone 20 years old and younger how to play various games. :D
 
It will all be back when Tron 3 comes out. It isn't planned to begin shooting until 2014. So for now, you get Mad T Party:

i think Disney has learned the lesson of McDonald's: keep rotating some items to help keep the menu fresh and bring the regulars back.

nice to know it will return; the boy will be old enough by then to ride most if not all the rides and maybe we'll take a trip to L.A.

That sucks. I was hoping to make it out there before this went away. Alas...

This reminds me -- Does anyone have either a single or two tokens from the place that you would sell me for a reasonable amount? I'd love to have a couple for my collection :)
 
I hope it returns by 2014, that is when my Granddaughter will be old enough and we plan on heading to Disney. I also planned on stopping at Flynn's!

Which one of ya put up the 200k on TRON with that jacked up joystick? Rats off to ya! I was derezzed on Fortran thrice because I couldn't get that darn thing to go right. Space Paranoids was fun.
 
Was just telling my wife how we missed it by THAT much (Maxwell Smart voice) - we have tix and hotel in June.
 
Here's a few pics from during the evening.

Man that sucks that they closed this, and I didn't get to see it! I wish they would have done this at Disney Orlando! ugh.
 
The last night of elecTRONica was one of the most fun and unbelievable experiences I've had in a while. It was also pretty sad for the thousands of tron fans realizing that it's all over. the countdown to derezzolution was pretty frickin sad.

No more nightly dance club. I feel sorry for the kids of so cal that lost pretty much their only outlet to get their shuffle (dance) on.
For the adults, no more alcohol and last but not least NO MORE FRICKIN FLYNN's ARCADE.

If what I hear is correct about whats coming next, I don't think a live classic rock cover band could capture the excitement and vibe of Electronica.

I didn't spend too much time in Flynn's brcause I couldn't handle the stink of all those stinky ass gamers up in there. About 1000x worse that California Extreme.

Heres the last 20 minutes from my camera vantage. I'm not really the club/rave type, but what arcade fan wouldn't love a club featuring all tron themed effects ( discs, cycles, reognizers, grids, etc. ) And now it's all over...

warning not for haters of dance/club music:



Lastly heres my tribute Flynn's walkthrough vid:
