musicians make the impossible seem possible in a style that is all their
own. |

Cradle
- Cycles
- German Wheel

| DisneyQuest is the latest and the newest brand of Disney theme park. In
this simple five-story building Disney has boldly gone where it has only
modestly gone before. A combination of theme park elements, that is to say
environment or theming has join forces with 21st century computer
technology to deliver an adventure that is intended to engage the entire
family. |
|
To think of this as just a large modern arcade would be a mistake.
DisneyQuest is designed very similar to Disney’s other theme parks. Guests
enter through a main plaza called Ventureport. From Ventureport guests can
choose and enter one of the various themed zones. |
 |
The four zones that are there for you to enjoy are:
Explore Zone recognizable from the tiger’s head cave from Disney’s
Aladdin.
Score Zone guests enter through an opening in a giant comic book.
Create Zone a high tech artist’s palette will guide you into this zone.
Replay Zone is an area themed similar to Tomorrowland in the Magic
Kingdom. |
