Someone posted on the save the adventurers club FB page that a rumor is swirling around that an Indiana Jones themed club might be taking the location of the former adventurers club. Can any insiders give us any info?

Not happening. But now that Disney spent all that money re-acquiring the film rights to Indiana Jones they should do something new with the property. I actually really liked the rumor that Frank Daramount was writing a reboot story for Indy with Bradley Cooper to star

Sounds like it's not happening then.

Not even a rumor on my radar.

Everything they do COSTS money. It's about if it MAKES them money.

Not just making money, but making gobs of money to pay bonuses.
It was on Pleasure Island between the bridge and where Raglan Rd and Paradiso 37 currently are. The building it was in still sits vacant.

With Rule #1 in place, I guess all the work that Disney is now doing to rebuild this area is being done for free.

An interesting idea, at least. I'm not too keen on an Indiana Jones bar/club/restaurant, but it would be cool to have a full-on '30s/'40s deco club with period music and drinks.

You must be carefully avoiding spoilers. Wish I could.

Yes, doubt this rumor as it really does not mesh with the Disney Springs concept in any way I can imagine. And there are numerous other ways the IP could be adapted in other areas on property. IMO.

Here are my 3 rules for TDO rumors with examples
1 - If it COSTS money it's not happening (no matter what the Bus Driver says
)i.e. New Attractions and Shows
2 - If it SAVES money you can bet your next paycheck it will happen
Entertainment in Epcot cuts, 5 Attractions closed in DHS in 5 weeks with no replacements announced
3 - If it MAKES money it will happen QUICKLY.
Upcharge events, Upcharge within Upcharge events (villians at MNSSHP), DVC properties
new retail/dining.
Follow these rules and you will never be disappointed by a WDW rumor.

it would cost money with no immediate return (1 yr payback or less) so in accordance with rule #1 its not happening.

But what if Rule #3 trumps Rule #1? What if the ROE is to good to pass up?Here are my 3 rules for TDO rumors with examples
1 - If it COSTS money it's not happening (no matter what the Bus Driver says
i.e. New Attractions and Shows
2 - If it SAVES money you can bet your next paycheck it will happen

Then rule #3 applies of course because it MAKES MONEY but attractions without separate charges generally expend CAPEX and increase OPEX which is the cardinal sin at today's WDW.
If TDO announced a E-ticket+ ride that had an upcharge (as in not included in admission) I would be inclined to believe it.
