DisneyQuest, the massive indoor arcade that houses classic favorites like Virtual Jungle Cruise and Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam, will unfortunately be closing its doors sometime in 2016.
Walt Disney Disney announced the five story interactive theme park will be replaced with a basketball-centered NBA Experience, which promise "hands-on activities that put families and guests of all ages right in the middle of NBA game action."
According to the Orlando Sentinel, new jobs will be made available for the employees currently corking at DisneyQuest.
