- Mar 20, 2001 A multivehicle racing romp, Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour takes players on a high-speed tour through 13 fantasy tracks based on popular Walt Disney World Resort theme park attractions and water parks, such as Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Rock 'n Roller Coaster, and Typhoon Lagoon. Charged with finding all the pieces.
- Jun 26, 2021 The likes of Crash Team Racing brought the fight to the kart racing crown, with many to this day still thinking it deserves the top spot. In the case of Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour, it didn’t overthrow Mario Kart, but it definitely gave us a great kart racing experience.
At first glance, Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour appears to be a very exciting game that both young and old will enjoy. After all, most people enjoy Disney World and a game based on the theme park should be equally interesting.
Nov 29, 2020 Image: Disney. To the credit of everyone involved, Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour is an absolute love letter to its source material. Even the voices are spot-on - Eddie Carroll, Tress MacNeille, and Corey Burton return as Jiminy Cricket, Chip, and Dale, respectively.
Unfortunately, the optimism soon disappears. First, the gameplay is very similar to other cart racing games popularized by Mario Kart and it's apparent that the developers were unable to add anything new to this particular genre. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the lack of 'real' Disney characters is a big disappointment.
The basic premise of the game is somewhat nonsensical. A machine has been destroyed and pieces of it are hidden throughout the park. This part of the story isn't too difficult to swallow but the idea that racing other characters somehow allows you to get the pieces is somewhat lame -- why would winning a race help you find missing pieces? This isn't a problem for younger players who are interested in the arcade action but the concept is ludicrous and contrived.
In addition to the plot, there are a few additional areas worthy of reasonable criticism. Only three regular Disney characters, Chip, Dale and Jiminy Cricket, can be chosen as racers. Beyond those, the additional characters seem to have been created for no other purpose than to fill the gap. Having the opportunity to guide Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck would have been a big improvement compared to Moe Whiplash. Furthermore, you can't even use Jiminy Cricket until you unlock his character by winning all of the races.
Another disappointment centers on the Disney World environments as portrayed in the game. You race in areas such as Thunder Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean and even the Haunted House but, instead of adding realism to the game, the areas are modified enough by the designers to make the experience much less than it could have been.

Not everything in the game is a negative. For instance, the replay factor should appeal to children though adults will find it quickly tiresome. The levels have many hidden areas you can use for shortcuts, some of which are required to win races, and exploration to find these areas adds to the length of gameplay. The music is done very well and the graphics, although not realistic, fit the game nicely.
The computer-controlled characters may be too difficult for kids to defeat and seem to acquire power ups that the human controlled players can't acquire. Additionally, they seem to have the ability to driver faster and steer better than is possible for a human player. Overall, the game may simply be too hard for kids to win and that, coupled with the lack of favorite Disney characters, will put off most adults.
