Indiana Jones at Magic Kingdom

[Figment632]

Martin, do you have a picture showing where this pad would be just out of curiosity? Thanks in advance.

The crosshairs are on the AL plot which is behind POTC

That plot would be perfect for the Indy's Lost Expedition.

Put the clone at DHS make something new for AL. That's what I think, anyway.

Oh, yea. I knew about the AL expansion plot there. But I think Martin was talking about something behind the stunt show at DHS. Thanks for that pic anyway though. I've not seen that layout before. Very nice!

Sorry here is the DHS pad.

Well, that would explains my confusion. Seeing as that land is behind Star Tours, past the parade round (backstage), across a primary backstage road, and across an eight lane toll plaza. Good luck getting Guests over there.

No problem.

Wow that is a HUGE expansion pad! If all of that eventually became attractions it would probably be 1/3 of the park. Hopefully they use it eventually. I assume there's no immediate plans to expand on it in the next 10 years but I've been surprised before.

Thanks, Figment632.

Hum a simple bridge would work :shrug:

No it isn`t. The expansion pad is directly behind the stunt show;

And sure enough, as Rob said, here are Indy and Dinosaur EMV layouts:

This location makes more sense for an Indy ride - you could have the entrance between Star Tours and the Stunt Show. The only thing is that the parades currently go backstage there, so who knows where those would be routed to.

I wish I knew even a tenth of what you know, Martin. Thanks for the pic. :wave:

 

[RAXIP]

Thanks for the clarification the pad's location. I figured you meant that land except that it's already the home of Cast Services & the main entrance for CMs, main costuming for CMs, Entertainment base, Ent. Costuming, Block Party & HSM float storage, BPB parade office/dressing room and BPB costuming building.

to be honest - if it was true....i think it would be inappropriate to put in a carbon copy... something new and shiny would be better...

I agree with this, being rather anti-cloning myself. WDW directly taking one of Disneyland's few unique E-tickets would be akin to their taking our Expedition Everest, Hall of Presidents, and Spaceship Earth all at the same time (Disneyland doesn't have nearly as many unique E-tickets as WDW does). I'd rather see WDW come up with an exploration of the Indiana Jones universe that I can't find on the west coast, or anywhere else for that matter... Heck, even doing like Tokyo DisneySea, and using the same ride system but with different scenes would be okay in my book!

 

[Hot4Hudgens]

I really liked the Indy ride over at DL. It'd be great if they opened one at WDW, but that's a bit of a reach.

Actually its not a reach at all. It was seriously planned at one point and could still very much happen... depending.

 

[cblodg]

I'm a fan of the Indy stunt show too and had a blast the one time I got picked to be in it. Even when you know what is going to happen, I'd say its more rewatchable than Lights Motors Action is. If it came down to keeping only one, I'd say get rid of LMA and keep the classic.



Definitely one ride track with moving doors. I've seen the secrets behind it on TV before, but there is a diagram on the wikipedia page to give you a better idea of how it works:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Temple_of_the_Forbidden_Eye

Scroll midway down to "The Ride" section. I know you need to take Wikipedia with a grain of salt, but this is one instance where the facts are confirmed elsewhere.

I want it!!! I want it!!! I want it!!! I want it!!! I want it!!! I want it!!!

Put me down as another fella that doesn't get the Indy stunt show hate.

I think I would disagree that we have more unique E-tickets than Disneyland. Proportionately, it seems like it all works out:

Disneyland-
-Indiana Jones Adventure
-Matterhorn
-Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
-Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
-California Screamin'
-Grizzly River Run

Walt Disney World-
-Spaceship Earth
-Mission: SPACE
-Test Track
-Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
-Kilimanjaro Safaris
-Expedition Everest
-Dinosaur
-Kali River Rapids

Kinda sad that the Magic Kingdom doesn't have a single unique E-ticket that Disneyland park doesn't, isn't it?

What I would like to see happen is build that Indy super show-building concept in our Adventureland, with the intertwining EMV and runaway mine cart rides, and the Railroad and Jungle Cruise crossing through, too.

There is no way that Roger Rabbit is an E-ticket.

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

There is no way that Roger Rabbit is an E-ticket.

I would say it is on the level with the others as far as theming, popularity, immersiveness, fun, and complexity. :shrug:
