It seems like every time they refurb it, it still reopens with everything not working. Must be the curse.

All the ride needs is for them to fix the many many broken effects and restore the vehicle randomization and the missing dialogue from throughout the attraction.

Yeah, that classic dialog.

Seems to me like this is the kind of thing that should not look any different when it’s completed. Same with the Snow White fixes.

I guess they’re waiting for Rise to open so that will scratch anyone’s “giant cavernous Lucasfilm E-ticket” or “hooded figure in black repeatedly jumps out and scares riders” itches while these attractions are down.

Since it’s the 25th anniversary In 2020 I expect a little plussing as a part of this refurb. Of course, you could say just getting it back to it’s original state is all the plussing it needs. And to do something better instead of the rat projection and a better snake.

Whenever they tried to refurbish it, it doesn't do enough. They must bring up the special effects to the 21st Century.

1. Each car should be getting a different show based on what Mara decides. It should last throughout the journey.
2. Not enough skeletons in the bone room.
3. Scarab beetle and rat projections don't work well enough. Often blurry.
4. Add more snakes and it should attack the entire jeep with a large head.
5. Too many painted flats especially the mural after the snake and before the dark tunnel.
6. Dart room isn't convincing enough.
7. Rolling boulder doesn't always work.
8. Have a larger bang-up ending.

I just read the article, I completely forgot that the bridge used to collapse? Indy isn’t one of my personal faves (As in its not in my Top 5 at DL) but the fact that it’s still great with half of its effects not working Is really a testament to how great the attraction is.

The bridge used to collapse!?

This ride is pretty hit or miss for me as well. But I wouldn't change it for anything. The brilliance behind the development and implementation of this instant classic is something that demands respect.

I hope they bring back the rotating door options at the start. I'm tired of always going through the middle door!

After 25 years of immense popularity, the ride deserves to be down for a year for a full refurb.

There's no excuses anymore for not fixing the Chamber of Destiny because they "can't get old parts" (if that's really the reason). Technology is plenty good enough now to tear it out and redo it with new and long lasting tech. Same with every other scene.

Worth noting that at a time when they can't even put hand rails on a planter, or rebuild a sign without making it some long drawn out process, Disney is now planning to renovate two iconic attractions.

I'm having a tough time looking forward to this.

I think the projection mapping pretty much ensures that the revolving doors are never coming back.

Except the lack of handrails are nice.

 

[Ismael Flores]

with all the new technology since the ride was built you would think that they can do some pretty cool stuff in some of those rooms that have broken effects.

Projection mapping would be better that the rat scene that doesn't seem to work correctly.

Does anyone have footage of the collapsing bridge effect?

The bridge ropes sway back and forth. That’s about it. The bridge never actually moved and all the motion was done via the EMV’s hydraulics.

Indy is easily in my top 5 favorite attractions in a Disney park. It’s just never really been operating at full potential since it opened.

Do they still sway?

Do they still sway?

I highly doubt it. Every time that ride experiences very rough motion, it breaks down right after.
