Now you've got me picturing Indy on the hunt for a mythical treasure and the ride ending with him saying, "Knowledge was their treasure. Their treasure was knowledge." But to your point, sure, I could see a story which ends with Indy getting clapped back by nature.

Ah, okay. I figured Disney hadn't said anything official, but I thought maybe someone from inside might have leaked something. I mean, it's hard to even know what to think of the passes selling out without any idea of how many there are. I'd like to think the number is small enough to not have a...

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I haven't been following this daily and couldn't find this with a search: do we have any idea approximately how many premier passes Disney makes available each day? Like per park, do we think it is dozens? Hundreds? More?

Well, you have really blown up my joke, there. Next, you'll be telling me that not every new ride has the word "adventure" in it.

I think it would need to be called Bob Chapek CEO Adventure. Disney has apparently taken a vow against possessives.

FWIW, I got in fabled boarding group 1 today, using no special techniques. On a related note, this was the first time I was conscious that a Disney attraction I was walking through still has a distinct new-carpet smell. And though I had been concerned, I had absolutely no motion sickness.

I agree that the idea works for the story, but I also agree with @insert name here that, if the animitronic had been more featured, they wouldn't have been able to get away with leaving it as-is. I mean, it was sold as a major element of the ride, was surely very expensive to design and make...

FWIW, when I was riding last week, our gondola struck the one in front of us as we were coming into the station. Hard enough to give us a jolt but not hard enough to damage anything (or anyone), and I guess no attendants noticed or cared. After that I paid more attention when we came in, and...

I would be happy if Disney just counted the actual outdoors as outdoors.

This was my experience as well. I'd seen the pictures here, the derisive names, and so on, but decided to wait until I saw it in person to cast judgement. Two days ago, I got my first in-person look. Awful. Those things are so large they make everything else look small--the pavilions, and even...

FWIW, I was unable to get a boarding pass this morning, with two of us in the group trying at once, but were able to get one for (late) this afternoon.

I can't tell if you are joking. Lots of queues in theme parks are problematic, to one degree or another, for those with mobility issues, an issue which is handled with alternative routing to the load area, and not by denying boarding.

I can respect that. The score was certainly a key part of the Irons version.

1. Irons 2. Perrin 3. Cronkite 4. Dench I always found Tomorrow's Child treacly, and Cronkite sounds like he's reading to fulfill a contractual obligation. I know I'm in the minority on that! The Perrin version seems dry now, but it was serious and thoughtful in a way that typified the original...

I'd rather have both.
