Does anyone still like Indiana Jones?

[WondersOfLife]

Just for the sake of another thought the idea that we would ever get a Indy ride, is as wild a dream as anyone can possibly imagine.

We always seem to get the attractions that aren't asked for from other parks... Like.. Soarin' and L!M!A!..

I saw it 6 weeks ago and thought it was a really fun show. It was the DW and my first visit to the World. We'll see it again if it's still around in 2016

I'm very glad that Soarin is there! LMA, I can take or leave. I've been to it around 4 or 5 times, but, I can visit DHS without going to it and never feel like I missed much of anything.

But would you have ever predicted that Soarin' would be coming to Florida as opposed to any other attraction that's based on Disney movies? Be honest! After all, it IS themed to california. I would have never expected it XP

Well, here is the thing. I first saw Soarin in California. I thought it was great and I was very happy to have it in Florida because so far in my 67 years my trips to California have only amounted to two and one was in route to a war. If I hadn't seen or heard about it being all filmed in California it really didn't matter. We could have been the only one with it and it still, in all probability been filmed in California because that is were the studio's are. The only things in that whole film that are exclusive to California were the Golden Gate Bridge and Disneyland. Everything else could have been in any number of places in the U.S. Golden Gate has a national reputation and Disneyland is the major Disney connection (where it all started).

So without direct reference to California, I would have meant very little to me where the scenery was filmed, what was important was that I got to experience it in Florida.

It seems like it's not as big a deal there as it is in Florida.. Kind of like It's Tough to be a Bug and Muppet Vision. It's always interesting how different the two parks compare to sometimes, isn't it?

They removed a bunch of the really neat stunts that added to the show.

I feel that Indy is indeed headed for a wrecking ball to make way for Star Wars land.

Why not both?

 

[cheezbat]

I loved the heck out of this show as a kid. I remember my first trip to MGM back in '89 and the only thing I really cared about was this show. Weeks later at school it was all I talked about. I know I drove my parents nuts running around with my Indiana Jones hat I got from MGM and humming the Indy theme....

That being said, it's run for 26 years is plenty long. I would understand it closing. I just hope like many here that if it gets the axe, it gets replaced with an Indy ride. Honestly I'd take the Indy ride and coaster over a full fledged Star Wars land any day, but that's me.

I truly hope in the DHS redo we not only get a great Star Wars land, but some more good Pixar attractions and a great new Indy E-ticket too!

 

[Eoin Mc Andrew]

Great show, but not something we see every trip because it hasn't changed since it opened. I'd like to see them bring in the Temple of Peril from DLP. The ride from DL is Dinosaur and I don't see 2 of the same ride in Florida. The ToP gives your something that appeals to the thrill ride crowd and is compact enough to likely fit in the old stunt show space. I'd like to hear more about the ToP, if anyone has been there and rode it. With rumors of a 5th Indy film or reboot, I'd hate to see them get rid of the presence completely.

I've ridden it several times! Very enjoyable rollercoaster with the sort of rickety feel of Thunder Mountain but faster and with loops! All in all what an Indy ride should be!

 

[Victor Kelly]

Um.......yeah I liked it. But who was the blond that came out with Anthony and Seth? Nazis and space nazis, an interesting combination.

Being both a Star Wars and Indiana Jones fan, I like the Stunt Spectacular, however, I think it's run its course. I'm surprised for 26 years, they didn't incorporate elements from the Last Crusade, Temple of Doom or even the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in attempts to keep the show fresh or the very least different. Then again, I suppose Raiders is the most loved and most well known while Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are among the most disliked.

I would really love to see a Star Wars stunt show because I believe it has so much potential. I've seen well choreographed lightsaber duels on YouTube so I have no reason to not believe Disney can make an entertaining lightsaber duel. People really deserve something more than Jedi Training Academy and Star Tours. I would be absolutely fine if the Indiana Jones show went away for a Star Wars show and have a giant Star Wars area expansion in the Studios!

 

[Minnie Melia]

Does nobody find the gaps inbetween the stunts very long? And the crowd interaction bordering on cringeworthy? Diasaster in Universal is much better at involving the audience I feel, manages to be genuinely funny and have a laugh at both them and itself. I really think the premise of a stunt show doesn't fit into Indiana Jones. Iv'e mentioned rollercoasters already, but I think we all know that if Universal had the rights to Indy they'd really utilise it to be a great ride/attraction!

Can we go?

 

[Eoin Mc Andrew]

Can we go?

I liked this of course Everything you want to see Oob

 

[Minnie Melia]

Well, I'd like to see what you like too

 

[Eoin Mc Andrew]

Don't worry Oob, I'll show you everything, even the things I don't like

I've seen it a bunch of times and I'm neutral. I think shows like beauty and the beast stay a little more relevant as year after year a new batch of little kids start watching it so seeing it in the parks still seems new for them. But with movies like the Indiana Jones series, while they were huge when they were released they seem to loose their popularity with people over the years unless they've reached cult status like Star Wars has. So as much as it's not a bad show, I can see them replacing it with something a little newer.

Really?



While it may not be as pervasive as Star Wars, the Indy films are quoted, homaged (that's totally a word now), and parodied to this day in media. Family Guy, The Simpsons, Phineas & Ferb, Robot Chicken, and more.

 

[polynesiangirl]

I'm neutral on the attraction itself, and I like that there is an Indiana Jones presence in the park. I'd be OK with them replacing it as long as it was with an actual replacement show or something, and not something like a pin station or a Disney Junior meet and greet.

 

[Blackburn23]

Nothing better than watching first timers freak out when the "extra" gets beat up

Good point. Maybe I don't notice it as much because phineas and ferb are the only thing I watch on your list lol.
