Disneytopia: My Dream Resort

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

great work so far! as a Dutchie I was wondering what you meant with Weiner? Also, its Soepkeuken Nonetheless, honored by the representation in your park!

I thought I read somewhere that "weiner" was dutch for meat. Also, I had no idea that I misspelled soepkeuken.

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Prepare to enter a world of yesterday's tomorrow, where ideas from past visionaries are brought to life. Welcome to.....Discoveryland.

DISCOVERYLAND

BACKSTORY AND OVERVIEW:​

Between time and space, there is a place where ideas are brought in from all over. This is where the futuristic ideas of Leonardo Da Vinci and Benjamin Franklin were fully realized and brought to life. As more visionaries lived, more ideas came in.

One such visionary was a French author named Jules Verne. Receiving dreams of this place, he was inspired and unknowingly told of real events. A madman in a strange submarine going on adventures, a cannon launching people to the moon, and most recently, a scientist going all around the world in just 80 days. This last man was a real man and secret friend of his, Phileas Fogg. When Verne died in 1905, Fogg went around the world looking for others like Verne with great ideas, such as H. G. Wells.

Then, one stormy night in 1910, a rogue wave sent Fogg through the currents of time to this place, where every visionary’s unrealized ideas had become a reality. Fogg was inspired by this and met some of Verne’s characters, including Captain Nemo, who turned out to be real people.

When Fogg returned, he was more interested in exploring more places, which led him to create the Grand Adventure Society. Over a century later after Fogg’s death, Jeff Cotton has revisited this place and has added it to Adventure World, wanting guests to discover all of these amazing ideas of the future. Here, they can travel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Go Around the World in 80 Days, travel From the Earth to the Moon, and more in a land of yesterday’s tomorrow.​

ATTRACTIONS

19 - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

C-Ticket
Any Height

BACKSTORY:​

Five thousand years ago, the city of Atlantis sank into the sea. Since then, there have been people who have been looking for it, trying to prove its existence. One such person is the bold explorer and sea captain, Nemo. For a long time, he has been searching the seas for the lost city but has been unable to find it.

But now, he is closer than ever to finding it. Within a lost trench in the Atlantic, he believes that there is a secret passage into the lost city. However, his submarine, the Nautilus, is too big to fit in the trench, so he is sending smaller submarines into the sea to go down and investigate. Guests take on the role as explorers working with Nemo and commandeering these submarines to find the lost city of Atlantis.
​

QUEUE:​

Located near a recreation of the Nautilus (as it appeared in Disney’s 1954 film adaptation of the novel) is a submarine building that guests go inside. Here, they walk past several diving equipment dating back to the 19th Century. Later on, guests go down a ramp and into a map room, where maps of failed expeditions to Atlantis are displayed as well as a portrait of Captain Nemo based off of James Mason (who played Nemo in the film.)

After this, guests travel into the inventing room, where complicated machines, as well as a model for the sub, are seen. It is here where guests board a small, two-person submarine with a flashlight in front of it. Guests get in and the door closes behind them.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

Like the similar Tokyo Disneysea attraction, the vehicles don’t really go underwater. It is all an illusion played with bubbles and projections.

Once the submarines go underwater, Nemo contacts the submarine, introduces himself, and tells them to follow the trail he laid behind. Guests can look down around the coral reef and find a trail of lanterns going along the ocean floor.

The submarines go through the coral reef and see fish. The submarines also go through a shipwreck and see some buried treasure, but Nemo tells them to leave it and focus on the mission. As the submarine keeps going, it goes towards darker waters and starts to descend, giving the illusion that it is going into the trench.

Down in the sea, the submarines come across lit-up fish such as anglerfish and lightfish. When going along the ocean floor, there are no signs of life or Atlantis. Disappointed, Nemo is about to make the submarines levitate out of the trench, but before he can do it, the submarines are attacked by a kraken. The submarine loses control and goes down into a dark cave.

Nemo regains control and asks where they are, and then he sees that they are following volcanic rivers through the cave. The submarine then proceeds into a large, open space full of ancient ruins. Around these ruins are the mermen, who take the submarines with much interest. Nemo tells the mermen not to touch his submarine, which they obey.

The mermen speak in an unknown language and follow the submarine through the city, which Nemo is able to translate. They say how after their city sank, they had to adapt to a new life underwater as fish creatures and established a new society under the sea. The merfolk then grab onto the submarine against Nemo’s wishes and give it their power. With this, the submarine goes up and returns to the surface, passing the Nautilus before returning to the station. Nemo thanks the guests for their help and is surprised by the source of the merfolk. He then proceeds to have them go out and hopes to travel with them again. From there, guests leave the submarine and take a passage back to Discoveryland.

Join us tomorrow as we travel From the Earth to the Moon in a thrilling roller coaster ride.​

I thought I read somewhere that "weiner" was dutch for meat. Also, I had no idea that I misspelled soepkeuken.

Meat in Dutch is vlees. No worries at all, Dutch is a weird language hahah

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's look at From the Earth to the Moon, as well as an ambitious new attraction based off of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days.

20 - From the Earth to the Moon

E-Ticket
Must be 48 in

OVERVIEW:​

Located in the heart of Discoveryland is a reimagined Space Mountain with a retro futuristic theme inspired by Jules Verne’s 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon. This takes inspiration from the former attraction at Disneyland Paris. Despite this, it has more similarities to its successor, Space Mountain: Mission 2. Although the ride vehicles have a silver copper design, they take the modern version of the ride’s vehicles with shoulder vests.​

QUEUE:​

Unlike the Parisian version of the ride, guests go in through a big building outside of the mountain. Here, guests are immersed in a Victorian-designed building with American flags hanging around (as the novel was set soon after the American Civil War.) All around the room are steampunx machines. On a telegraph, a woman’s voice gives them their mission to the moon.

Guests then proceed into a room where the sketches of the Baltimore Gun Club are displayed. This includes several futuristic-looking gun designs as well as the design for a giant cannon called the Columbiad Cannon, which will be used to launch guests to the moon.

Soon, guests will enter a loading area, where they get on their spacecraft. They pull down their lap bars and put their things in a pouch, and then they prepare for the ride.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

The spacecraft moves through a tunnel and onto the Columbiad Cannon, which is pointed up the mountain and toward the top. It stops at the bottom of the cannon, and then, with a puff of smoke, the spacecraft launches. Up atop the mountain, the edge of the cannon releases a puff of smoke, giving outside guests the illusion that the cannon has fired, which inside the cannon, guests are fooled by screens that depict them moving through the sky and into outer space.

The ride vehicles approach the moon, but then they drop and go through an asteroid field. This involves an inversion and a turn afterwards, as well as a drop down. The vehicle then goes through a wormhole of red light and enters the inner solar system, going past planets in a corkscrew loop. Afterwards, it goes through another wormhole and ends up in a star space of comets, stars, and galaxies. Suddenly, a supernova explodes and the spacecraft has to dive and duck to escape, going through a third inversion before going up and then down into a tunnel, where a third wormhole transports them back to the station.

When returning to the station, guests get off their spacecraft and gather their belongings. The woman gives an exit spiel as they do.​

POST-RIDE:​

Guests follow a hallway to a place where their photos taken during the ride are displayed. They proceed through here and into the Baltimore Gun Club’s emporium. In the Gun Club’s emporium is Galaxy Stuff, which sells merchandise themed to the attraction.​

21 - Around the World in 80 Days

E-Ticket
Must be 40 in

BACKSTORY:​

In 1872, Phileas Fogg had been able to pull off a great feat, to travel around the world in just 80 days. Jules Verne had met the man and learned his story, writing it down and publishing it as a book. With this, the two became good friends and shared their worlds with each other.

However, after Verne’s death in 1905, Fogg fell into despair. However, rather than grieving over his departed friend and going into depression, Fogg decided to find others like Verne who were seeing new visions of tomorrow. He went around the world for many years, meeting people like H. G. Wells and other science fiction authors and illustrators.

Then, in 1910, a rogue storm washed Fogg up in Discoveryland, where all of the visionaries of the past had their dreams made into reality. In this land, he met a group of scientists who were quite interested in his adventure and wanted others to have such an adventure. Although Fogg never agreed to this, calling it a “dangerous mistake,” Jeff Cotton would come to Discoveryland himself and give them permission.

Now, explorers coming to Discoveryland are allowed to follow in Fogg’s footsteps and embark on a globe-trotting adventure. What could possibly go wrong?

(This is one of the two major story attractions of the resort, the second being Kunlun Quest in Asian Gulf, but that will be discussed later. This attraction is made on a Rise of the Resistance-level scale, making it truly exciting. Similar to that attraction, guests go in with boarding groups to control wait times.)​

QUEUE:​

Guests walk into a retro futuristic expo, where several Steampunx-era machines are on display. Among them are airships, automobiles, and advanced trains. Looking up, guests see a sign saying how this is the vehicle expo of Discoveryland. Guests continue to go through the expo, seeing more retro futuristic machines.​

PRE-SHOW:​

Soon enough, guests will enter a Victorian room full of sketches for many machines. Behind glass, three 19th Century scientists, Edgar, Thaddeus, and Frank, are seen working with machines. Following a disastrous attempt to fly on a jet-pac, the scientists look and see the guests there.

Edgar: “Oh, what do we have here?”

Thaddeus: “Did they see that failed jet-pac launch?”

Frank: “Sure hope they didn’t. We were going to test these on people, and we can’t let them know that they are unstable.”

Thaddeus: “Wait a minute, are these members of that Grand Adventure Society?”

Edgar: “I don’t know, are they? Read that letter from Mr. Cotton again, Frank.”

Frank goes over to a table and reads a letter.

Frank: “Dear scientists of Discoveryland. I am sending you some of my associates to test your new gadgets in an adventure around the world. Fogg may never have approved of it, but I do.”

Edgar: “Ah, it still sounds nice even after the seventh time reading it.”

Thaddeus: “Guys, this is them. These are those associates. They are here to take our technology and go around the world, just like Professor Fogg did.”

Edgar: “They are? Well, that’s great. We should send them on their way.”

Frank: “Not yet, Edgar. It’s a little rude to not explain why they are doing this.”

Edgar: “Fine. So, a long time ago, we met this man named Phileas Fogg who traveled around the world in 80 days. We wanted to recreate this experience, but he wouldn’t let us because he said that it would be a dangerous mistake. However, we thought he was just being dramatic, so we kept on bargaining with him, and he kept saying no. He must’ve been fed up with us because he left for a long time, but recently, another member of the Society named Jeff Cotton has come and told us how we can do this with you guys. There, I said it. Happy now?”

Frank: “Yes.”

Thaddeus: “Anyways, so here’s how this is going to work. Your journey will begin where Fogg’s did in London. From there, you shall take an airship over Europe and to Cario. Then, you will take a boat to Bombay, then a train across India to Calcutta. You shall take a glider to Shanghai, and then a boat across the Pacific and to San Francisco. From there, you shall take a train to New York and then a new machine to return to London.”

Frank: “It is a long trip, but hopefully, it’ll all be worth it.”

Edgar: “Now let’s send them off. Open the portal to London, where they will board their airship.”

With this, a door opens and guests walk through it. In a nighttime London scene, guests walk towards the harbor, where a big airship is. They go inside and hold on to bars as the ship takes off, beginning the first part of the ride experience. From overhead, guests see the daytime sights of France, Switzerland, and Rome as they fly. As they head towards a dark Egyptian area, however, the airship shakes and is pulled closer to the ground. Edgar’s voice comes from the intercom.

Edgar: “Listen. We’ve got some good news and we’ve got some bad news. The good news is that you are arriving in Cairo. The bad news is that some British forces are there, and no offense, but I think they might be on to you. They’ve already hooked your airship and are pulling it into bay. Don’t worry, because Frank is coming to rescue you.”

When the airship doors open, a British officer stands there. They force them through the streets of Cario and to a small building. Inside this building are British maps and flags since Egypt was a British-controlled area in the 1870s. Guests are loaded into one of many interrogation rooms, where behind glass is a British officer, who gives an introduction.

Fix: “Good evening, people. My name is Detective Fix. I’ve been dispatched from London in search of a criminal named Edward Lynch. We suspect that he may be among you since we saw the crook run in the direction of your airship. Don’t try to do anything funny because I am a seeker of truth, and I can get it out of anyone no matter what.”

Just then, an officer comes in and tells them that some of the other people need attending to. With this, Fix leaves the room with a warning.

Fix: “Don’t you dare go anywhere. I warn you, it’ll be the worst mistake you ever make.”

Shortly after Fix leaves the room, a wall blows up. On the other side is a Discoveryland scientist sent by Frank. Guests sneak out into the Cario alleyway and board a trackless vehicle (similar to the ones in Rise of the Resistance, but retro futuristic). Two trackless vehicles are in the alley. Frank gives a safety spiel from the vehicles, explaining how he is controlling the vehicles from London and how he will be able to escort you back to London, but not before completing the journey around the world.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

The vehicles go forwards through the streets of Cario. While boarding the ship, guests are spotted by British soldiers and are shot at, but they escape. Hiding in the cargo bay of the boat, the vehicles are transported to India.

Upon their arrival in India, guests travel through an Indian festival. Here, elephant-riding Indian people and belly dancers are seen. Here, the vehicles board a train and get into compartments. From there, they travel across the jungles of India, and eventually, they arrive in Calcutta. However, Fix is there and confronts the vehicles as they exit the train, holding a gun towards them.

Fix: “Thought you could get away, didn’t you? Well not this time!”

The vehicles then flee as British officers chase them through the Indian marketplace. The vehicles then board a smaller airship to take them to Shanghai. When closing the doors, however, a cannon is fired and the airship sinks.

Emerging in the forests of China, the vehicles go around, seeing giant pandas and monkeys. The vehicles travel through a small Chinese village and see several villagers. An old man then willingly takes them on his carriage to Shanghai.

When reaching Shanghai, the vehicles travel through the city. However, a group of mercenaries hired by Fix find them and travel to arrest them. Luckily, the vehicles board the ship to San Francisco just as the ship is sailing away. The mercenaries try to stop them, but the vehicles light some fireworks at the mercenaries and drive them away.

When arriving in San Francisco, the vehicles go through the city and board a train. However, Detective Fix is on the train, about to arrest them.

Fix: “I see that you’ve fallen right into my trap. There’s no escaping now.”

The vehicles turn around to escape, but it is too late, for the doors have closed behind them. The vehicles then go through the train as it goes across the desert. Fix corners them at the end, but Frank appears and takes him out.

Soon, the vehicles safely arrive in New York. Once there, they go out into the secret workshop at the harbor. There, they board a jet-pac flying machine, which was built by American engineers as well as Edgar, who appears and congratulates them for making it this far. The vehicles then board one of two of the flying machines, which starts a motion simulator part of the ride. The vehicle moves up and speeds over the sea. After traveling through a thunderstorm, during which the escape nearly fails, the vehicles crash in London, going through the Big Ben and landing at the harbor.

Upon arriving, Thaddeus greets them as they go to the unload station. Here, guests get off their vehicles and proceed into the final scene of the experience.​

POST-RIDE:​

Guests go into a gun shop but encounter an angry Detective Fix in there.

Fix: “There you are! I’ve had it up to here with you guys, but now I’m finally going to….”

Just then, Frank enters the room.

Frank: “Hey, why are you after these people anyways?”

Fix: “Don’t interrupt me, sir.”

Frank: “Hey, I’m just curious why you’re after these people.”

Fix: “Because Edward Lynch is among them.”

Frank: “Edward Lynch? He’s already been arrested and taken into custody. That happened before you even came after them.”

When hearing of this, Fix looks at the guests in an embarrassed way.

Fix: “Lynch is not among them? Well, now I feel stupid.”

Frank: “We all make mistakes, sir. It’s part of being human.”

Fix: “Don’t rub it in.”

Frank: “I guess this is why Fogg said that traveling the world was dangerous. If you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, then things get ugly.”

Fix: “Exactly. Sorry for all the trouble I caused and I hope you guys enjoyed your little trip.”

Frank: “I think it’s time to let them back to Discoveryland.”

Fix: “What’s that?”

Frank: “Um, I said, let’s let them go back to…….Disneyland, yes. Go right through the portal and there you are. Thanks for traveling with us and we hope you come again.”

A door then opens and guests follow a secret passage back to Discoveryland. This brings them into the Aquatopia area, where they can see the boats going.

Join us tomorrow as we see other, smaller attractions in Discoveryland, such as Aquatopia and the Orbitron.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

We shall now see what other attractions Discoveryland has to offer.

So, I've been told that posting about one or two attractions a day is the best way to do it, so I'm going to set up a table of contents.

Dunno who told you that. A table of contents does help, for this forum.

Following their adventure through space, guests will find this store at the hill of the mountain and shop for things. This includes souvenirs based off of the attraction as well as the Baltimore Gun Club (but guns are not sold here.)​

BS - Hangar Bay Cargo​

For those who have traveled around the world, they can find their things here. This features Steampunx and Dieselpunk items as well as things themed to the attractions nearby, including Aquatopia and Around the World in 80 Days.​

Join us tomorrow as we go into the Mermaid Kingdom.

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

I forgot to show concept art for European Harbor and Discoveryland, so I will do that now.

Sitting in the center and surrounded by water is the Venetian fortress. On the left side is Venice while on the right is Paris and Amsterdam.

Discoveryland is depicted with a cosmic scene, just like Tomorrowland. In the center if From the Earth to the Moon. On the left is the Orbitron, the Nautilus, and the building that houses 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. On the right is Cafe Hyperion and the entrance to Around the World in 80 Days.

Now, without further adieu, the Mermaid Kingdom.

In the center of the picture is Prince Eric's Castle, which hearkens to the Mediterranean style. On the left is the land with the village and on the right is the "underwater" city of Atlantica, even though it is really seen on the land in the picture. This is like how it is in Tokyo Disneysea.​

MERMAID KINGDOM

OVERVIEW:​

When traveling the seas, Phileas Fogg had a fascination with mermaids. When he actually found them, he was thrilled, so Jeff Cotton found that it made perfect sense to include an area of mermaids in Adventure World. Looking at the European world of the 19th Century, he found a time and space where they were, and so he took it and placed it in Adventure World.

Located between the streets of Paris and the Venetian fortress is a seaside kingdom where the world of The Little Mermaid comes to life. Despite being a small area, this has a lot to do with King Triton’s Concert and the Voyage of the Little Mermaid. This will immerse fans of the film and make them feel part of that world.

There are two areas in this small place. The land is the first of these areas, recreating Prince Eric’s kingdom from the film. Guests can dine inside his castle or relive the story in the grottos beneath. The sea is the second part of the area, where guests go into Atlantica and are immersed in the underwater city, seeing a show, dining, shopping, playing, and even meeting Ariel herself.

Now this area is a little problematic to me. I’ve been worried about it having too little and not being enough, not to mention how the Little Mermaid ride does receive some backlash. I would have all of the kiddie rides that Tokyo Disneysea’s Mermaid Lagoon has, but I’ve already had several kiddie rides located in Pixar Pier (even though the area is also home to the big thrill ride, Incredicoaster), so that wouldn’t go well having two kiddie areas. I just hope that this will be enough for people to see. If it’s not something worth walking through, then I will not have it.​

ATTRACTIONS

24 - Voyage of the Little Mermaid

C-Ticket
Any Height

In an extended version of the ride, travel through an artistic retelling of the classic film aboard a “clamobile.”

QUEUE:​

Like the Magic Kingdom version of the ride, guests travel through the grottos near Prince Eric’s castle. Down here are shipwrecks, an interactive Scuttle animatronic, and some shells. Soon, they will pass by some buckets of water, drums, and other things to make wait time fun. At the end of this, they will enter the loading area, where a big painting retelling Ariel’s story is seen. Guests then board a “clamobile” omnimover ride and sit down as the lap bars come up.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

The ride starts out by going into a shipwreck, where Scuttle is. Here, he tells about the story of Ariel, wondering where to start. He suggests the ending, then the middle, and then decides to start at the beginning, but even he doesn’t know where the story begins. Afterwards, the vehicles go down underwater, using projections to create this illusion.

The story starts out as the vehicles go through Ariel’s Grotto, where human stuff can be found all around. Guests pass underneath Ariel, where she and Flounder sing “Part of your World” as they go down. Soon, the ride goes back out of water, seeing the sinking of Eric’s boat and his rescue by Ariel. In the meantime, his dog Max is seen in the background, panting, as Ariel watches the recovered Eric from a rock, singing about how one day, she’ll be with him.

The vehicles go back underwater and through a vibrant ocean setting, where fish are dancing. Sebastian is singing “Under the Sea” as Ariel dances around. Fish fly around too, going overhead. Soon, they pass through Ariel’s grotto again with Prince Eric’s statue in ruins. Ariel is seen sobbing on the bed while Flotsam and Jetsam are seen overhead, claiming to be able to make her human.

The ride takes a darker twist when going through Ursula’s lair. There, some seaweed people are in the shadows. In the meantime, Ursula looks at her crystal ball, singing “Poor Unfortunate Souls” while overseeing a plan to make Ariel human. In the meantime, Ariel is seen on the other side, signing a paper.

The vehicles go out of the water again and go to the village, where villagers are dancing and playing music. In the meantime, Ariel and Eric are touring the kingdom while Sebastian watches them. Later on, the vehicles go through a bayou scene, where Ariel and Eric float in a boat while Sebastian sings “Kiss the Girl” while aided by the animals.

In the next scene, things take a darker turn as it goes past the wedding ship. Eric and his bride (Ursula in disguise) are seen to be getting married while sea life is jumping on and crashing the wedding. In the meantime, Ariel regains her voice, but as vehicles go into the next scene, Ursula says how she’s too late.

In the climax of the ride, guests go past a stormy scene where Eric is onboard a shipwreck while trying to navigate. Ursula is seen as a giant, holding Triton’s trident and wearing his crown. However, the ship fires its cannons at her (rather than slamming into her like it did in the film) and Ursula starts to tumble.

In the final scene, guests pass the wedding of Ariel and Eric, where fireworks are set off. King Triton and his daughters oversee the wedding. As guests go past a rocky scene, they see Scuttle again, who concludes the story. After returning to the load station, guests get off their vehicles and follow a passage back to the surface.

Join us tomorrow as we see more of Mermaid Kingdom.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Well, this is lame. I only have one other attraction in the area and I forgot all about it. Therefore, I put it in a separate post.

25 - Ariel’s Playground

B-Ticket
Any Height

Explore Ariel’s grotto and play in the deep blue. This playground is a good place for young children to get their energy out and interact with the wonders of the human world, scavenged and stored here by Ariel.

Hopefully tomorrow's post, which will cover the dining, shopping, and entertainment, will redeem me from this mistake.

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

BV - Ariel’s Grotto​

The fan-favorite restaurant from Disney’s California Adventure has returned in a new park. Instead of making a family dining experience more about the adults like what Disney did to the DCA version by making it Lamplight Lounge, this keeps the family promise and makes it a buffet as well. Here at the surface, guests can dine with Ariel and the other princesses. (Reservation Required)​

BW - Sebastian’s Calypso Kitchen​

Families can stop by this restaurant and eat up, taking fast food to go. This features many foods from the surface, including chicken tenders and spaghetti, as well as things from the sea, like salmon.​

SHOPPING

BX - Village Market​

Fans of The Little Mermaid can buy things based on the film here on land. Within a market in Prince Eric’s kingdom, they can buy a bunch of accessories from the film. Whosits and Whatsits Galore. Need Thingamabobs? They’ve got twenty.​

Ariel herself meets her fans in her grotto.
​

Join us tomorrow as we go down by the bay at Pixar Pier, where the magic of Pixar meets the flare of Victorian Boardwalks.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's look at the artwork from Pixar Pier.

As you can see, it is slightly different than the one at DCA. There are Up-themed attractions, Toy Story Mania takes the look is has in Tokyo, and the ferris wheel as a Pixar ball in it.

Now that this is taken care of, let's see what the area has to offer.
​

PIXAR PIER

BACKSTORY AND OVERVIEW:​

As Steve Jobs and John Lasseter led Lucasfilm’s 3-D animated short films in the 1980s, a realm was developed where all of their characters lived. When the animation company became Pixar, it was further expanded. As the Grand Adventure Society led by Alberta Johnson would discover, the characters were building an amusement park within their realm, calling it “Pixar Pier.”

With the development of Pixar from short films to movies, the pier expanded. Through the 1990s and 2000s, the Pier introduced characters from these movies, continuing into the 2010s to modern day. Now, it is a big boardwalk park where guests of all ages can have fun, from kiddie rides to extreme thrill rides.

This area is split into six neighborhoods: Wilderness Explorer Bay, Inside Out Head-Quarters, Toy Story Boardwalk, Pixar Promenade, Incredibles Park, and Cars Lot. Each area has rides and attractions themed to the Pixar worlds.

I’ve wondered whether or not to keep this due to the harsh reception of the area in DCA. However, this one is very different and not built on budget cuts and luring. I believe that this will be a good place for a family area, even though it also features one of the more thrilling coasters in the park.​

ATTRACTIONS:

26 - Dog Force Fliers

C-Ticket
Must be 42 in​

On this wild mouse coaster themed to Disney*Pixar’s Up, climb aboard one of Charles Muntz’s dog planes for a flight around the air. (This is almost exactly like Goofy’s Sky School in DCA, except the posters are replaced with trees, the track is smoother, and there are no cutouts of anything but instead a realistic-looking sky setting.)​

27 - Up, Up and Away

B-Ticket
Must be 38 in

Located near the water is a circular area where Carl Frederickson’s house is flying in the air. Guests can sit on benches tied to balloons and go up to the house in a Jumpin’ Jellyfish-style ride. Some guests may even look up in the window and see Kevin the bird poke her head out of the house from time to time.

Join us tomorrow as we see the Inside Out Headquarters.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's look more at another neighborhood of Pixar Pier.

28 - Emotional Whirlwind

B-Ticket
Any Height

Board a hot air balloon inspired by Riley’s Emotions and fly around a collection of memories. This ride is similar to the former Flik’s Flyers attraction at the defunct Bug’s Land at DCA.​

29 - Imagination Spin

B-Ticket
Any Height​

In a colorful pavilion, spin around on Bing Bong’s “rockets'' as vibrant music plays. (This is basically an Inside Out take on Francis’s Ladybug Boogie at the former Bug’s Land area at DCA.)​

Come tomorrow as we see the Toy Story Boardwalk area of the pier.

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

It is now time to look at the Toy Story Boardwalk area of Pixar Pier.

30 - Toy Story Mania

E-Ticket
Any Height

Come inside the boardwalk building and play a series of carnival games with the Toy Story gang.​

QUEUE:​

Like the Tokyo Disneysea version of the ride, guests enter a Victorian-era building with Woody’s head in the front. There, they go through his mouth and go around a boardwalk setting. They will see a bunch of advertisements for the games played on the ride, and even pass by an audio-animatronic Potato Head dressed like a Barker, which interacts with guests as they pass by. Guests pick up a pair of 3-D glasses as they go into the loading area. They soon proceed into the loading area, where they hop aboard their midway-style vehicle, pull their lap bars down, and get ready to play. The vehicle has two sides, which makes it so that players on both sides can fire at screens on both sides of the halls.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

The vehicles go through a dark hallway designed to look like a carnival and proceed to the practice zone. Here, guests can test their aim with Woody, Jessie, Buzz, and Rex, throwing pies at targets. This is the only game in the ride that doesn’t score points, but serves more as a place for guests to practice before going onto the other games. The guests all get one minute for every game, making it so that the ride can go on.

The first game that comes on is Hamm’s Egg Toss, where guests shoot eggs at animal-shaped targets in a farm setting. Bonus targets also come around to give guests the opportunity to score more points. After a minute, the game will stop and the vehicles will go to the next game.

The next game is Rex’s Balloon Pop, where guests shoot darts at Dinosaur-themed balloons in a prehistoric setting. There is also a volcano that erupts red balloons and gives guests a chance to score more points, but first they have to shoot the hidden balloon to make it erupt. After a minute, the vehicles will move on.

The third game is Buzz Lightyear’s Ring Toss, where guests shoot rings at aliens in a space setting. When the rings go around the aliens, it causes things to happen. Those wearing jetpacks will take off while those without them will get beamed up. After a minute, the game moves on.

The fourth game is a new game inspired by Toy Story 4 called Duke Kaboom’s Daredevil Shot. Here, guests shoot balls into holes in a stadium setting, similar to a ski-ball thing. Also, Forky makes a cameo at the end of the game, congratulating guests for their work.

The fifth game is Sarge’s Plate Breakers, where guests shoot small balls at plates in an army camp setting. Helicopters and Tanks carry more plates for extra points. When this game ends, the vehicles move forward to the next game.

The final game is Woody’s Roundup, where guests shoot western-themed targets in an old west setting. This is the longest game of the batch with the most screens and the fact that it takes two minutes instead of one. During the game, the vehicles move over one screen and into a mine shaft, where additional points can be scored. In the last thirty seconds, guests fire away at big targets to get more points. After this is up, they exit the area.

Before returning to the loading station, guests stop to see their points. For every score, there is a stuffed animal that is won (in the game, not in real life.) After receiving their virtual prize, guests will return to the loading station and get off of their vehicle.​

POST-RIDE:​

After the ride, guests will exit through a hallway into a Toy Story-themed store called Barrel of Monkeys.

31 - Jessie’s Critter Carousel

B-Ticket
Any Height​

Located near Toy Story Mania is a wild west carousel where guests can hop on one of Jessie’s critters and ride them around. This is like the ride that has been placed in DCA.

Join us tomorrow for a walk along the Pixar Promenade.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's look at the Pixar Promenade.....​

32 - Games of Pixar Pier

A-Ticket
Any Height

Step right up to play a bunch of games inspired by Pixar shorts and movies. This includes games inspired by Bullseye the horse, the La Luna short film, A Bug’s Life, Onward, and WALL-E.​

33 - Pixar Pal-a-Round

B-Ticket
Any Height

On a Ferris Wheel, hope on some gondolas for a calm ride above Pixar Pier. This features gondolas with Pixar pairs on them, as well as old music to further fill in the atmosphere. This is like the DCA wheel, except instead of Mickey’s face in the center, the Pixar ball is in the center of the wheel.​

Here’s just a few of the Pixar pals featured on the gondolas:

• Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.
• Flik and Heilmich from A Bug’s Life.
• Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc.
• Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars.
• WALL-E and EVE from WALL-E.
• Russel and Dug from Up.
• Joy and Sadness from Inside Out.
• Miguel and Hector from Coco.
• Joe and 22 from Soul.
• Alberto and Luca from Luca.

There are two sets of each gondola, one that swings and one that doesn’t swing.

34 - Tuck and Roll’s Bumper Cars

B-Ticket
Any Height​

This Bug’s Land attraction has returned, now in Pixar Pier! Here, guests can go into P. T. Flea’s circus and hop aboard pill bug-themed bumper cars for a fun ride throughout a round and circular space.

Let's get super tomorrow with the Incredibles Park. Stay tuned until then.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's now look at the Incredibles and Cars neighborhoods of Pixar Pier.

35 - Incredicoaster

E-Ticket
Must be 48 in

BACKSTORY:​

For helping the world bring back the supers and saving Metroville from constant evil, Bob Parr AKA Mr. Incredible, his wife, Helen AKA Elastigirl, and their family have been honored to have their own attraction. Within the bay of Pixar Pier, the people have been working on a roller coaster dedicated in their honor. With the name of “the Incredicoaster,” the roller coaster will be the biggest ride on the pier.

With the family going to the grand opening of the coaster, Helen Parr has decided to keep her unpredictable baby, Jack-Jack, whose several powers often get him in trouble, in good hands. Edna Mode, the fashion designer for many super suits, has agreed to watch over
the baby while his family is at the opening of the coaster. However, one small mistake could lead to the opening being placed in jeopardy.​

QUEUE:​

Guests walk through a large coaster building based off of the Incredibles’ house (the newer one seen in Incredibles 2.) Guests soon walk past posters telling about the family, especially the adult superheroes and their children, Jack-Jack, Violet, and Dash. On screens from overhead, the Incredibles family is being interviewed at the opening day ceremony.

Guests then go past comic-like posters for the ride, as well as others in Pixar Pier. They descend a stairway and then enter the loading area, where they board red trains, pull the lap bar down, and get ready for the ride.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

The trains go through the opening place, where the Incredibles are seen being presented at the opening. The ribbon is cut and an audience applauds them. The trains then pass a window, where Edna is looking at the event. While she is not looking, Jack-Jack disappears into a portal.

When it is discovered that the baby is gone, the trains go outside and over some water. Here, they begin a launch sequence with Dash narrating it. After a countdown and the sound of speeding over the water, the trains launch over to the first hill.

On the first hill, guests go through a tunnel. Here, Jack-Jack is shooting lasers, much to Dash’s chagrin. Before Dash can catch him, Jack-Jack teleports to another tunnel. The trains then go around a large turn and then go up the biggest hill on the ride. Here, they ascend while Elastigirl is trying to give him a cookie. Jack-Jack then vanishes again as the trains go down the hill.

Violet keeps Jack-Jack in a force field as guests go around a spire, but then Jack-Jack teleports again. The trains then go through a third tunnel, where Jack-Jack is seen with Mr. Incredible, but has turned to iron and slips out of his hands, breaking through the tunnel before teleporting again.

The train then goes out and goes around the loop of the Pixar Pier sign. Then it goes down through another big turn and through a fourth tunnel, which Jack-Jack had set on fire. The trains go through a portal before being spat out at the end of the tunnel, going over the roofs of Toy Story Mania and Tuck and Roll’s Bumper Cars. An army of Jack-Jack clones appears, but the family is able to catch them all as they go through a fifth tunnel and descend into the final show area.

While passing the final show area, Edna is seen in a pavilion where a giant Jack-Jack has appeared, happily eating some cookies. From there, the trains go back to the station, where they unload and follow some bridges back to Pixar Pier.
​

36 - Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree

B-Ticket
Must be 32 in​

Climb aboard a tractor and be towed around a rusty space as Mater sings some country ditties, including “Welcome to Radiator Springs.”​

37 - Luigi’s Rockiling Rodsters

B-Ticket
Must be 32 in​

Climb aboard an Italian car and be spun around in a random car ride, which features trackless technology and authentic Italian music to add to the experience.

I know people think these rides are lame and Pixar Pier sucks, but me and my family like it. We shall conclude our tour of the pier tomorrow by seeing the dining, shopping, and entertainment in the area.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's now see what else Pixar Pier has to offer.

​

Join us tomorrow, and bring your whips, because we're heading to Adventure Outpost.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

It's now time to go to an exotic place with mysterious forces in Adventure Outpost!

ADVENTURE OUTPOST

BACKSTORY AND OVERVIEW:​

The year is 1937, one year after the Ark of the Covenant was retrieved. Strange things have been going on in some Egyptian ruins, and so famed explorer Indiana Jones has been sent to investigate it. Here, he reunited with his old Chinese sidekick, Short Round, now a member of the Grand Adventure Society and leading a group sent by Alfred Nobleman to investigate the mystery.

Indy believes that the ruins are cursed by the Egyptian God of Chaos, Set. Some explorers went investigating the ruins and disappeared. Indy himself went after them, but he himself disappeared. Short Round was able to connect to the future when Jeff Cotton came around, and so they sent a new group of explorers to find Indiana Jones and investigate the ruins.

However, the presence of the explorers has brought Nazi soldiers to the area. Although they are more cautious following the gruesome fates of those who went looking for the Ark, they are determined to find the lost treasure of Ra before Indiana Jones does. Somewhere within the ruins is an ancient temple full of lost treasures, and only the bravest and boldest explorers are allowed to go in.

This area originally included a big attraction where guests go into an Ancient Egyptian tomb and look for treasure with Indiana Jones, although I got rid of it because I feared that it would compete with Around the World in 80 Days for a fully immersive attraction. It is a trackless ride that is built on the same big scale as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and I don’t want to keep recycling the same experiences. However, I have conceived a different version of the attraction that is not as ambitious but follows a similar storyline. I also had a big, interactive attraction tying the land together, but it was too ambitious.​

ATTRACTIONS

38 - The Digging Spot

B-Ticket
Any Height​

Within the sands of Egypt lies many treasures. Come to this one archeological site and find some of these treasures on your own, including pots, statues, and other things.

Tomorrow, we shall see two of the bigger attractions in the region: Pharaoh's Revenge and the Temple of the Sun Mask.​

 

[MagicKingdom4Ever]

Let's now look at the bigger mysteries of Adventure Outpost.

39 - Pharaoh's Revenge

D-Ticket
Must be 44 in​

Come to an ancient Egyptian archeological site where mysterious things happen, and then hang on tight as you rush to escape the pharaoh’s spirit. This uses the same track layout as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril in Disneyland Paris, except it is Egyptian-themed and features some voices of the pharaoh, as well as some indoor portions.​

QUEUE:​

Guests walk through a camp in the desert, one where camels and trees are seen to be more atmospheric. Looking around, guests see that the camp is full of ancient Egyptian artifacts, but no people besides themselves are in sight. Looking above the tents, they see the towering ruins, where screaming can be heard.

Going past some cobra-shaped statues and closer into the temple, guests walk past a wall of hieroglyphics. Soon, they walk through the ruins, bearing statues of the Egyptian Gods, namely Osiris, Anubis, Horus, and Bastet. Eventually, they make it into a tomb-turned-loading station, where they board their vehicles. They are fashioned after mine carts from the 1930s. When boarding their vehicles, guests put their belongings in a pouch and lower their lap bars.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

The carts begin by moving down a tunnel with a sarcophagus at the end. They are supposed to turn right into another tunnel, but the sarcophagus suddenly glows and a disembodied voice comes from it.

Voice: “Who dares disturb my slumber? Your fates have been sealed!”

The minecarts turn left suddenly and begin to go up a lift. As dramatic music plays, they exit the area and go to the top of a hill.

Voice: “Prepare to meet your dooms!”

At the top of the hill, the cart turns left and then drops down, but then goes up again to another high place. Up there, it turns around and makes a drop down to the second floor, going around the lift it had previously ascended and then turning. It drops into another tunnel full of lights.

At the end of the tunnel is a burning fire, Luckily, an explorer shows up and knocks a column in the way.

Explorer: “Don’t worry! We’ll get you out of here!”

The cart turns left and turns. It heads forward and goes through a loop, and then it goes up a hill. It turns around and then goes around the perimeter of the temple, safely returning to the load station.

After getting back to the station, guests gather their belongings and take a secret passage back to the safety of the sands around the temple.​

40 - Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Sun Mask

E-Ticket
Must be 46 in

BACKSTORY:​

In the days of Ancient Egypt, there lived a great and mighty pharaoh (the same pharaoh in the previously mentioned Pharaoh’s Revenge ride). Under his rule, Egypt grew strong, a strength it kept long after his death. As a king, he was brutal and dictatorial, striking fear into those he ruled over and giving out cruel punishments to those who defied him.

However, there has been a legend that this one particular pharaoh had received a golden mask that he believed was given to him by Ra, god of the sun. To protect this mask, he constructed a massive pyramid to house it, keeping it from anyone who dared to take it. However, the legend also claims that the mask wasn’t from Ra, but Set, the god of chaos, who had disguised himself as Ra when giving the mask. It was said that Set had aided in the construction of the temple and had placed a curse on the land to further protect his mask from humans and gods alike.

Then, in 1937, the legend drew explorers and treasure hunters to Egypt. One of them was the renowned professor and archeologist, Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones, who had previously visited the country the previous year in search of the Ark of Covenant (as seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark.) While he was there, he met with the Grand Adventure Society. Among them was his teenage sidekick from China, Short Round, who had helped him rescue enslaved children from Mola Ram two years earlier (as seen in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.) With this reunion, they decided to join forces to find the temple, and also the fabled Treasure of Ra claimed to be nearby.

When they discovered the temple, there was great jubilation, but Indiana Jones warned them that they shouldn’t underestimate it. He was wise to say that, for when some of the explorers went into the temple shortly after its discovery, they never returned. Jones went into the temple to look for them as well as the mask, but he hasn’t been seen since.

Fearing for his former mentor’s life, Short Round requested help from the Grand Adventure Society. They sent a bunch of explorers (the guests) to come and find Jones and the Mask. However, as he sends search parties into the temple, they just may learn what kind of supernatural forces Set had placed within.​

QUEUE:​

Located at the edge of the desert is a massage pyramid, rising above the sands and casting an ominous shadow over it. Guests go past the desert and to the foot of the temple, where they ascend a sandstone staircase marked by snake statues and enter the pyramid.

Going through the bowels of the pyramid, guests pass by a chamber-turned-office, several deactivated booby traps (such as walls that close in behind held open by a metal pole and a spiked ball flung against the wall), and even a place similar to the map room seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the staff of Ra is shining on a temple in the distance, one which looks like the other Indiana Jones ride in the area (but we’ll go over that later.)

Soon, guests go down a hallway marked with hieroglyphics. Egyptian Papyrus is also displayed on the wall, which the voice of Short Round coming from a gramophone describes, telling the story of the Sun Mask as well as how Indiana Jones disappeared in the first place. They soon enter into a large, airy room with constellations on the ceiling. Around that room are several references to the Indiana Jones films, including a crate needing to be delivered to Club Obi-Wan (a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars), the Shanghai nightclub seen at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as well as a crate with the numbers "990 6753,” where the Ark of the Covenant is placed at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Mercedes Benz from the desert chase scene from Raiders is seen in the same room, encountered just before guests leave the room.

After going down several more hallways, the guests enter the loading area, which is a dusty stone chamber decorated with papyrus and statues of the gods. The ceiling portrays the goddess Nut amidst a black sky while her husband, Geb, is seen on the ground. Guests pass over a bridge and into the loading area, where they get on their jeeps.

Adventurers will direct guests down to the area and have them seated in their vehicles. When seated, Short Round’s voice comes from a nearby radio:

Short Round: “Please remain seated and pull your lap bars down. Do be careful out there. I hear that the breaks don’t work well in your vehicle.”

Once guests bring down the lap bars, the ride begins. This features EMV (Enhanced Motion Vehicle)technology to make guests feel as if they are going over rough terrain.​

RIDE EXPERIENCE:​

As mysterious music plays from above, the jeeps go into a dark room with three doors. One of them opens up and the jeep goes in. Like the Disneyland version of the ride, there is only one track but multiple doors, which switch to the left and right to give the illusion that the jeeps are going into another hallway than the center one, even though some jeeps do go into the center door.

Also like the Disneyland version, guests get a different experience depending on which door their jeep went through.

• If the jeep goes into the left door, they will enter the Vault of Great Treasure. A disembodied voice says from overhead: “You have chosen the riches of all Egypt. Take it, explorers. It’s yours.” The walls light up with gold and some open up to reveal statues of Egyptian warriors holding treasure. Golden idols, necklaces, and coins are seen in their arms. A women’s chorus can be heard in the background as this appears.
• If the jeep goes to the right door, they will enter the Observatory of Great Knowledge. A voice comes from overhead: “You seek wisdom beyond measure. You can have it all. I shall open the curtains of the universe.” Looking up, guests can see that the ceiling is full of stars. The walls are bright blue, with the other walls (the ones that stayed closed during the last sequence while the ones that opened remain closed) open up and reveal statues of men wielding papyruses and scrolls.
• If the jeep goes to the center door, they will enter the Passage of Immortality. The disembodied voice says: “You wish to have eternal life. We can give it to you. You shall never die.” The walls light up green while images on the walls (all of which stay closed in this segment) depict men and women of small value suddenly turning gold. This is supposed to be a hint that they had become anew when their mortality was taken away.

Suddenly, as the jeeps go to the end of the hallway, A statue of Set, who is depicted with a Jackal head, comes alive with red eyes, which ends up turning the walls red all around him. It gives an evil scoff, and depending on which door the jeeps went to, he says one of three things:
​

• If the jeeps went through the Vault of Great Treasure, he says: “Did you really think I would give you all that treasure? Ha! You mortals don’t deserve such a reward. Your true reward is a trip to the Underworld!”​
• If the jeeps went through the Observatory of Great Knowledge, he says: “You foolish mortals, did you really think you would get great wisdom? Such a ridiculous hope. Off to the Underworld!”​
• If the jeeps went through the Passage of Immortality, he says: “Oh, you think you can just be immortal? Yeah, I would never give such beings that. You shall die after all in the Underworld!”​

The jeeps turn left, going down a hallway marked with hieroglyphics and glowing red. Lightning flashes illuminate the statues of Osiris, god of the Underworld. There are also snake statues on the ceiling. At the end of that hallway is a glowing gate with unearthly green mist coming out of it. Indiana Jones shows up and pushes his back against the gate, trying to keep it shut. He says one of five things:
​

1. “Why did you believe that trickster? He’s the god of chaos, not the god of promises!”​
2. “What are you guys doing here? This is no place for tourists!”​
3. “Did Short Round send you here? Please, get out of here quickly!”​
4. “Do you know your Egyptian Mythology? Set is not a person who keeps his promises!”​
5. “Who are you people? Never mind, get out before he kills you!”​

The jeeps turn left and go down a hallway of Anubis statues, all of which are holding axes. The axes drop on the jeeps, but they speed up before they can be hit. Making a U-turn into another hallway, the jeeps go past walls where puffs of air come out. This is supposed to mimic the feeling of darts being shot.

The jeeps then enter the main show building, which is a big cave-like place with a pool of sand below, full of scorpions. The jeeps turn left and go into a room in darkness. Turning the lights on, the jeep views scarab beetles, scorpions, and dung beetles. Puffs of air are supposed to make it seem like the bugs are flying over the guests. It soon goes out of that room and past a room full of skeletons. As a scream comes through the room, the ceiling grows spikes and comes down. The jeeps then head out into the bridge as a loud sound behind them gives the illusion that the room has collapsed behind them.

The jeeps attempt to cross a rope bridge. On the left is a giant Egyptian mask, which shoots a laser out of its left eye. Once the jeep gets over the bridge, it goes through a room full of snakes. This includes a giant, green cobra which menacingly looks over the guests as they pass by, moving its head to make it look like it's about to attack. The jeeps then go down a hill and behind the mask from earlier, going through a room decorated with skulls (the jeep doesn’t try to go back to the bridge due to timing issues.) Set appears on the right in his godly form, being depicted as a human figure with a jackal head, wearing a tunic and holding a spear. Although the jeep tries to take a tunnel out, Set possesses the vehicle and makes it move backwards and into another room, saying one of five lines as he does:​

1. “The animals are hungry, and I have food!”
2. “It’s supper time and you’re on the menu!”
3. “You’re not going anywhere, you fools!”
4. “Not so fast! I need to feed my animals!”
5. “Where are you going? It’s snack time!”

This is a water-filled area containing different animals depending on what time the jeep comes to it. There are either hippos, crocodiles, or eels. The jeep quickly makes a right turn and goes on further.

Going down a hallway, the jeep encounters many perils. Ghosts are projected over the ceiling, some of which scowl at the guests as they pass underneath. Turning left, they go through a room full of mosaics of mummy warriors. Fireballs come from ahead, which are really just heated orange gas. Turning right, they go left and then through a hallway that gets darker with the torches going out.

The vehicles turn left to see Indiana Jones at an altar, where the Sun Mask sits. In classic movie style, he swaps the mask with a bag, but then he realizes that the bag is too heavy. With the sound of something moving, he says one of six lines:
​

1. “Made the same mistake again! Quick, turn your lights on!”​
2. “Oh no, not again! Hurry! Turn the lights on!”​
3. “That can’t be good! Quickly turn the lights on!”​
4. “Wait a minute! You guys get those lights on!”​
5. “What is that noise? Hurry up and turn the lights on!”​
6. “I’ve got the mask! Now quickly, turn the light on!”​

When the jeep lights come on, a boulder is rolling in their direction. With this, Set appears behind Indiana Jones, saying one of four lines:
​

1. “Prepare to meet your mortal doom!”​
2. “You will never see the light of day again!”​
3. “You’re not getting my mask that easily!”​
4. “I’m not letting you leave this temple alive!”​

The jeeps move backwards to get away. They fall down, making a sudden landing as Set shouts in fury. They then turn around and go past Indiana Jones, who stands next to the crushed boulder while holding the mask. He says one of six lines:
​

1. “You weren’t that bad back there.”​
2. “Next time, you’re on your own.”​
3. “Tourists. Why did it have to be tourists?”​
4. “Well, it could’ve been worse.”​
5. “That wasn’t so bad, was it?”​
6. “You guys are pretty good for first-timers.”​

There, the jeeps go back into the loading area. Short Round gives them an exit spiel and guests exit the vehicle.

POST-RIDE:​

Guests follow a secret passage out of the pyramid. From there, they exit into the desert, appearing right in front of the pyramid steps and making it look like the whole thing never happened. Pretty strange.

Join us tomorrow as we see the most ambitious attraction in Adventure Outpost, Indiana Jones and the Tomb of Many Treasures.​
