Indiana Jones Land?

MO, the design of that reveal, from the turn into the cavern, the sheer scale, the cued music, the perfectly synced Jeep ahead of you traversing the bridge, is one of the most awe-inspiring moments in Imagineering history.
I have to admit I didn't like the room either. I just felt disappointed I knew what was coming, I prefer the element of surprise? Especially on a dark ride I don't want to know what's coming. It's also quite likely not all effects were working but I can't remember as it was some years ago.

It’s a stupid idea in many ways…so don’t trust it’s happening
its the same ride system, only redo inside to remake. Yes cost will be high, but cheaper than a full regut for some kind of trackless system for Zootopia - just my opinion. But yeah, I will believe it when I see a closing date.
But that would be an expansion…and why would they do that?
Honestly, I would prefer they just fill all the open slots currently in DHS rather than some kind of limited ,cheapened expansion.

You know what to trust, baby…

Let's hope that they completely remove and/or retheme the Indy Stunt Show. It could serve well as an Avengers live action Stunt Show or something in that vein.

And yes, I know about the Universal rights thing to various marvel characters.

I said what I said! Lol

The infrastructure of all the Pyro laid over there would probably be a nightmare in costs to remove, so it'd be so much easier to repurpose it to something else.

Or just bite the bullet and extend Galaxys Edge all the way to star tours and put a SW live show in there..

Unfortunately, they completely reprogrammed the vehicle movements and the timing with the music isn't nearly as well put together, however.

The big reveal is actually very strange since unlike Disneyland's where the vehicle raises up at an angle and "tumbles" down in perfect sync with the music, Tokyo's does so in a different way not timed with the music.

All in all it's in many ways a better-themed ride, but with poorer execution throughout, so my ONLY fear with this ride is if the vehicle programming/timing is more akin to Tokyo's rather than Disneyland's.

Tokyo also has a better facade IMO with the Mayan pyramid and the huge first queue room with my all time favourite hidden mickey

The quality of the theming is better in some places like carvings in the dart room vs painted flats in Disneyland

That big room with all the skeletons at the bottom is one of the most morbid scenes in a Disney attraction. Something that would probably never fly today.

After seeing Indy again this past week at HS, I can still confirm that it is an extremely popular show that still fills up to the sides with standing room only in the back. And I've seen it every time of the year in the past 2 years... August, November, June, December, January, and February. Packed house every time.

There's no denying Indy's popularity is still evident... Too bad they'll put it in the wrong park, though.

I mean...considering the mandatory Animal Enemies sequence in every movie, there IS a potential connection there, if the ride would be centered around that. In order for Indy to get X artifact he had to go through an ancient temple or whatever filled with creatures.

Perhaps the temple leads to a land of the dinosaurs...for example.😏
