Background The DisneyQuest project was designed as a way for the Disney brand to reach populations who may not have the chance to travel to its various theme park destinations. It was meant to target large cities and urban areas. Had the project continued, Disney had plans to construct locations in many major cities in the United States.
The second DisneyQuest was built and opened in Chicago, but it was permanently closed on September 4, 2001 due to low attendance. After the failure of DisneyQuest Chicago, the DisneyQuest project was officially brought to an end. Construction that had begun on a DisneyQuest in Philadelphia was scrapped, and a DisneyQuest at Disneyland Resort in California never proceeded past the planning stage. Disney announced another location to be built in downtown Toronto, Canada (at the Dundas Square inside the new high tech mall Metropolis), but the project was also canceled. The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California is a major recreational resort (owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company), and is home to two theme parks, three hotels, and a shopping and entertainment area. ...

Metropolis is a high-profile retail and entertainment complex development on the north-east corner of the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas Street in Toronto. ...
After the closure of the overall project and the Chicago location, Disney Regional Entertainment, which operated DisneyQuest, turned over control of the remaining location to Walt Disney World operations. Disney Regional Entertainment is the division of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts that operates the ESPN Zone restaurants. ...
Design The locations were to be moderately identical concerning layout and attractions. This was so the various locations could contribute financially to new attraction designs (which cost in the range of several million USD), thereby reducing the cost that each location has to foot itself.
The attractions at DisneyQuest are of a modular design, so that they could be easily replaced and updated. Originally, the idea was that no attraction would ever go unchanged for more than two or three years. However, after the Chicago location and the DisneyQuest project overall were closed, the one location in Florida has been unable to financially merit a complete attraction overhaul.
The only time an attraction has been changed out was in preparation for the opening of DisneyQuest Chicago. An attraction based on the Disney version of Hercules was replaced with Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold. Hercules is a 1997 animated feature produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures on June 14, 1997. ...
Mascot The Genie from Aladdin is an unofficial mascot of DisneyQuest. Upon entering at ground level, one is brought by an elevator (here called a "cybrolator," containing a short animation of Genie welcoming you) up to the center of the third floor (the "Ventureport"), where one's visit begins. He is also heard on the end-of-day closing announcements. Aladdin (first released on November 11, 1992) is an animated Disney movie telling a version of the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp from The Arabian Nights. ...

By doing so, the asteroids will be sucked up into the cabin where players can then load them into a cannon and shoot at the other cars.

Usually there are two players to a car; however, it is possible for one person to pilot and shoot at the same time.

- In "Treasure of the Incas", players could drive small remote-control toy trucks through a maze in search of treasure. Along a wall were stations with a steering wheel and a video screen by which to drive the truck; the floor of the room was clear plastic through which friends could see the trucks driving around so that they could shout directions to the driver. This attraction was plagued by interference from emerging technologies such as cell phones, and was finally closed after one of the vehicles caught fire. The clear flooring and mazes could still be seen near the Virtual Jungle Cruise area, adjacent to the Safari hunting games until 2007 when the floor was recovered and new games moved to the area.

Price Except for prize-play (claw) machines, all games and attractions inside DisneyQuest are free after admission is paid (US $30-$36). Depending on daily attendance levels, late-night tickets are sometimes sold for half-price two hours prior to closing each night. “Claw game†redirects here. ...
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. The old card swipe consoles can still be found on many of the attractions, even though they now have little or no purpose. Dave & Busters (NYSE: DAB) is an American restaurant chain which mixes dining with arcade-style gaming. ...
On the fourth floor, there used to be a redemption area that would cost extra ("Midway on the Moon"). Players could exchange tickets won at games of skill for various prizes. However, in late 2005, the games were converted to free play and no longer dispense tickets.
