Shutting only this month to make way for The NBA Experience, Disney Quest was an interactive indoor theme park.

Essentially Disney Quest was a massive arcade with 4 different zones over 5 floors. There were rows and rows of arcade games, basketball hoop games and even bumper cars.

Some of Disney Quest's more unique attractions could be found in the Explore Zone. There were virtual reality rides based on Pirates of the Caribbean and The Jungle Cruise.

Disney Quest used to be the ideal place to get out of the rain, yet still have fun.

8. The Ear-ful Tower

The Earffel Tower was Hollywood Studio's original icon when the park opened back in 1989.

The tower was a homage to the real water tower at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. Unlike the west-coast version, this one was purely for show.

Located in the Backlot Studio Tour, the Earffel Tower was the parks icon until The Sorcerer's Hat took up residence in 2001.

Many fans thought the Tower would return to being the parks icon, once the hat was demolished in 2015. This turned out not to be the case as the Earffel Tower was dismantled only one year later to make way for Toy Story Land.
