DQ was awesome, especially when it was new and had a full complement of "attractions" - last I was there almost an entire floor devoid of games, although it was the "prize game" floor and was mostly filler anywho - but the food places where all replaced with generic quick service food- while before they where all cheesecake factory- and the brick fire oven pizza etc. There were some professional grill grates (i.e. like "mangrates") just sitting there begging to go home with me and be used on my grill- sad thing is they most likely just tossed them.
Anywho - DQ was regulated sadly to unattended baby sitting for tween-teen age ethnic children - that with it being very understaffed lead to not so fun experiences the last few times - I still think it is a viable attraction - especially now with all their price hikes, this offered a place to get Disney entertainment + "the feel" - this even more so now that they have totally revamped downtown Disney - they should have expanded another floor- or few floors adjacent, rebuilt with new tech the same rides + new ones- they all where fun, the only one that kinda sucked they got rid of and made their most popular with the pirates ride.
Change the rollercoaster to "make your own space flight" and StarWars - update the graphics and use 3d glasses to make it even better.
General Graphic update to Pirates
Bring back the driving little cars in the actual maze that was in the floor
General updates and graphics etc. to the dino raft ride
General updates and graphics etc. to the alien rescue + shooter game
I don't know what could replace into the comics and magic carpet ride in terms of changing the theme or anything- just update it.
Obviously refresh all the arcade games - have constant line management at the big ol Daytona USA - make it more of an attraction.
Bring back cheesecake factory food, and increase food vendors - lines for food were always an issue.
Refresh all the create area stuff and increase smaller children attractions / games
Disney is really, really bad at not keeping up their main stages - if its not a park its built nicely and left to expire at its own rate of decay - Blizzard Beach looked awesome when it first opened, the snow looked like snow etc. now its overgrown and all snow looks like old dirty cement...because that's what it is... I would have hoped DQ got rebuilt with the rebranding and overhaul of Downtown but I guess not :-(
My Step Son's girlfriend tried it for the first time Saturday. We put in Until Dawn and she didn't even make it past the opening credit roll before she said "Uh no way..." and so I ended up putting Batman VR in instead and she loved that. Completely hooked. If you like RTS games, tetthered puts a new spin on it. I have been impressed by that one. Really looking forward to Robinson and the Eagle flight.
