In the 80s and 90s Disney was looking to expand their empire beyond movies and theme parks. There were a lot of weird experiments done in the 1990s and one of those was a 5 story tall, indoor interactive theme park known as DisneyQuest. Disney built 2 locations, one in Chicago and the other in Walt Disney World at Downtown Disney / Disney Springs. The Chicago location was pretty much an immediate failure but the Florida location remained open for nearly 20 years. Disney Quest was filled with the latest and greatest of 90s technology like virtual reality simulators and of course arcade games like Pac Man, Galaga, and Centipede. They even had a few rides like Cyber Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear's Astroblaster. To a young Ben Laurence, Disney Quest was the coolest place in the world, right next to Disney - MGM Studios of course. In the summer of 2017 it was announced that DisneyQuest would be closing to make way for the NBA Experience. Disney Quest sat abandoned for over a month before demolition finally began. A majority of the iconic decor was sent off to the land fills but what was the fate of the vintage arcade games that entertained guests for nearly 20 years? On July 4, 2017 an online auction was held where Cast Members had the chance to take home a piece of Disney Quest history. The remaining games were sold off to other arcades or private collectors. In 2019 three DisneyQuest games popped up at an auction in North Carolina. The games included Centipede, Frogger, and the extremely rare Discs of TRON. All three games where sold off to private collectors and that brings. Join Tresh, Reilly and myself as we go on a QUEST (see what I did there) to recover one of these abandoned Disney World arcade games.

I don,t know if i should be sad or happy
Ben heres a Joke
Me : wanna visit Germany
My Friend thats upseast with cleaning:I would but it has the Word Germ and many that makes many Germs so no
why is nobody commenting ecsept me
Ppaasskkll Haddad why would you be sad. I don’t get the joke. And *except
I experienced Disney Quest, it was awesome. I miss it. Wish they updated it instead of demolishing it
YES I loved Disney Quest and 100% agree!!! I feel like with a little help Disney Quest could be become a pretty popular place
I totally remember as a kid begging my folks to put out the money for Disney quest in downtown Orlando. It was pricey. But making my own rollercoaster at that age blew a young minds mind 🤯
Yeah back in the day it was pricey but man it was so cool. I miss that place a lot
I haven't played an arcade game since probably the mid 90's. But my all time favorite, is old school, its Pac Man
YES pac man is one of my favorite too!! I think I like ms pac more though
Do Any you guys have a mini pacman arcade machine
At the timestamp 0:42 I was instantly hit back with nostalgia. Me and my parents were playing this same exact game, and I even remember some parts.
I loved the lightsaber video!! Where in MA do you live, I'm on the north shore
Thanks definitely going to be doing more lightsaber videos in the future but for now I hope you enjoy this Disney Quest video... and I’m from the Boston area
@@BenLaurence nice live in Reading
I remember going only once and having an amazing time then to find out they closed in the late 2000's UGHH!
Right!? Can’t believe it’s gone!!!
Amazing video! That is absolutely incredible that you own a part of DisneyQuest! I’m very happy to say that I did indeed go to DisneyQuest. It was always such a blast and I was pretty sad when it finally bit the dust a few years ago. As for my favorite parts, I personally really enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean and Animation Academy. Also this is my first video of yours I’ve seen. I’m definitely happy to have discovered your channel and will totally check out more of your videos!
Thanks so much Ryan!!! Loved Disney Quest too man! Pirates of the Caribbean was so much fun but I surprisingly never did the animation academy, I did at MGM studios all the time though. Welcome to the channel my friend. We have loads of Disney videos and a few arcade videos as well :)
Congratulations on this amazing find Ben! Follow your dreams kids! Wow! #BL
Disney Quest - Final Days 2017| Full Tour in 4K | Walt Disney World by ResortTV1 Your cabinet is at the 40:37 mark!
Thanks man!!! Still can’t believe I own this! I’m gonna have to check out that video to see the centipede in action, thanks for sharing!
My Late Wife & I went to Disney Quest in 2004 & it was exciting to play the sit down Star Wars Arcade,Centipede like you are blessed to have there.I must have played Frogger for almost a hour! Pretty much every game I played during the 80’s when I was a kid into a teen at various arcades were there! Congrats to you have a piece of Disney History & you have one of my favorite games Tron that I fed a hell of a lot of quarters! Cool video! Glad I bumped into it!
Dude that’s sick! I went a couple times back in the day & as a mighty ducks movie & animated series fan, I was obsessed with the MD pinball slam game. Would kill to have a piece of that game in my place!
Awesome video, Ben! That’s really cool that you got the opportunity to own a piece of one of the most interesting projects in Disney history! Disney Quest was so cool! I used to love going there every year when we went to Florida! My favorite part was the arcade, they had so many classics and it my first time seeing lots of those games! I remember playing on that Centipede cabinet and many of the others! It’s great to see relics like this survive!
Thanks so much Josh!! I loved playing all the classic games at Disney Quest as well. The environment/theming in there was pretty cool as well. Definitely miss Disney Quest but I’m glad I have this piece and am able to share it with everyone here :) A lot of the surviving DQ games probably got converted back to their original forms but I plan on keeping this exactly the way DQ left it.
Ben Laurence you’re welcome, and I agree that it had a cool atmosphere! I like that you are planning on not changing it!
Josh Carson I think the only modification I want to do is put a plastic cover on the control panel to protect the Mickey sticker
Man I miss DisneyQuest so much, the place rocked.
I really wish they’d bring it back
@@BenLaurence FACTS
(edit: say do you have the reproduction DisneyQuest Sticker files on hand still, i want to put some on my arcade cabinets.)
Congrats on the pickup! I remember when my friend took that trip to that auction in N.C. and was so excited to get it. Glad to see it went to a good home and someone that probably appreciates it as much as the previous owner had for Disney.
Thanks Tim!! Yeah I can’t believe Jim went all that way for the game, so cool. It is definitely in good hands over here and has a proud place in my collection :)
@@BenLaurence enjoy and have fun with it. Find yourself a CRT monitor when you get a chance!
Honestly I’m probably going to leave it an lcd since that’s the way it came from Disney Quest. Try and keep it all original to Disney Quest ya know
@@BenLaurence fair enough! At some point, you should document the changes Disney did on the inside. Like the monitor used and how they added the Freeplay to the coin door. Have fun!
We loved DisneyQuest!! The best place to get away the Florida summertime heat or end the day after dinner. It was free with our Ultimate season passes so yeah we really miss thst place. Our favorite family game was no doubt the virtual reality Pirates of the Caribbean. And my favorite memory was the day My Wife and I and our three little kids got the top score and became Kings of the Caribbean!!! It is bitter sweet for us to go to “Downtown Disney” yes that’s what we will always call it.... Very good memories from those days. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the excellent game find 👍👏
Thanks Jerry!! Disney Quest was awesome!! I love the Pirates of the Caribbean as well, I wish Disney would release some kind of home version of it. Haha I will always call it downtown Disney as well 🤣 same with MGM.
Your got a nice disposition, can’t understand why you don’t have more views.
Thanks to Adam I searched your channel
Thank you!!
Cool unfortunately we never had Disney Quest at this Disneyland here in Anaheim before ya know
Im the guy who sold it and didn't want to be on camera. Glad it went to a good home !
Still have it to this day! One of the coolest pieces in my collection!!
Yes the Disney movies I had a whole drawer of them
I just found out they demolished Disney quest right now from this video and my favorite game was playing a real life fix it Felix arcade game
I am still curious where the other machines went - any clues? Not the easy cabinets the really big ones. The Virtual Machines - not the small non Disney Machines.
I’m very confused as to what games you’re talking about
@@BenLaurence LOL! here let me show you: ua-cam.com/video/SakuSARIt0o/v-deo.html
this is crazy, i love that it still has the mickey stickers on it.
and i love the tomorrowland loop in the background
Haha it’s awesome! They stickers were the big selling point for me! Still blows my mind that I own this. Glad someone picked up on the Tomorrowland track ;)
this is sick!!!
YES thank me you!!
Come up with your own sound no kala don’t tell him that run save yourself!!
What
So amazing
WOW THIS IS SICK!!!!!!!!!!
YES I still can’t believe I have this!
Going to Disney with me my little brother grandma and 10 other relatives yeah quite a trip
Yeah that doesn’t sound to fun 😂
You should make a arcade
I’d love to!! Then invite all the fans to come check it out
Do you have the image file for the “please limit time” sticker? I’d love to print it so I can place it on my own arcade machines
Yes I do have it. I’ll have to try and find it. Shoot me a DM on Instagram or something
Ben Laurence I followed you on Twitter! I can’t send a pm though, my @ is sm_pai
I was born when Disney quest was still a thing but I never been there
I don’t know what to tell ya
I miss Diane world 😢😢
What ever happened to the fix it felixes?!
I think disney has a few hanging around in some of their offices
They should have kept it
I agree, miss Disney Quest
I believe that disneyquest was talked about by fastpassfacts
Probably! FastpassFacts is a great channel. I’ve worked with them a few times!!! Check it out ua-cam.com/video/RT92gKVxshI/v-deo.html
Remember the toy r us the toy go in the was a Nice video man
Young Tarzan was my first cartoon crush
Wtf
Can the lcd screen be changed to a crt or is it not worth it?
If it was any other game I’d put a crt in it but since it left Disney Quest with the lcd I want to keep it that way. Plus crt’s are a pain in the ass lol
@@BenLaurence alright that's fair enough ,plus the lcd will last longer 😂
Haha very true! My poor TRON monitor is going 😭 gonna have to fix that soon
@@BenLaurence crt's slowly die,lcd get screen burn in ,is there no imbetween 😂 ,lucky your not in England prices for arcade machine replacements parts are crazy
What disney quest
PAC man 11:59
You ever seen the video of the guy obsessed with pac man?
