Indiana Jones stunt show update?

[danlb_2000]

Really?

These additions prove over and over they make

And please nobody mention DL's Galaxy's Edge until it is completely open.

The question is, does a $500 million addition generate twice as much revenue as $250 million addition.

I do believe it does in the long run.

Each park should have an E+ attraction. DHS is about to get one in RotR. GotG might also turn out to be an E+.

They could do Shanghai Pirates with Indy overlay at DAK or the MK. Just my opinion.

SOUNDS

A bigger and better Sounds Dangerous has been confirmed!

My god. It’s another of those days where we agree.

If you two ever sit down together over a beverage or two, I will happily pay.

Heaven forbid WDW get an exclusive!

I'd be fine with an updated stunt show and a new boat ride. There's nothing inherently wrong with a stunt show. Just update it.

I totally agree. I love the stunt show and it’s way over due for an update. The theatre holds a lot of guest and the park needs capacity. Too bad the show does have night time shows.
A good boat ride like pirates would be pretty cool.

DHS has some of the best attractions at WDW.

DHS has some of the best attractions at WDW.

And in a year, even more so. IMHO Epcot currently has the weakest roster.

I'm sure RotR will knock it out of the park. GotG better knock it out of the park. Tron will give cushion to fix SM. That leaves 'ol DAK hanging out in the breeze. The aging crapfest that is Dinoland should be completely revamped. The only saving grace over there is the boneyard. I see more kids in there than on Triceratops spin or PW.

Agreed. It amazes me that SSE has an hour wait for such a lackluster and shell of a once great attraction. And for that matter, why any of the legacy rides have a wait time over 5 minutes is beyond me. They all kinda suck due to negligence. People ride them out of nostalgia's sake, but boy is it getting old justifying going on them. JII is an utter embarassment. SSE, just wow. I can only watch 360 movies so many times before I just want to walk out. The worst part is that I don't drink anymore, otherwise the park might be a little more tolerable.

Tbh I’m not one of those people who says they built a SW park without SW. But I could see them not wanting to utilize the Indy IP without a new film attached. And the film sounds to be sort of in limbo. And if it is made, I would imagine any new ride or show will have to be all about that new version and I’m not sure that it’ll actually be as good as the old films.


I love Indiana Jones but only the films from the 80s. That’s why I feel they ruined JP at Universal Hollywood. They took the vibe and atmosphere the original film had and threw it in the garbage. Removed any sense of danger. There’s an entire sequence where there’s no animatronics and you just float past nothing... where it used to have all these nice touches like the Mickey ears hat and the falling car.

Honestly it’s like spitting in the face of Spielberg who helped design it.

I fear a similar fate is in store for all things Indy at Disney.

Yeah, DAK is the weakest park attraction standpoint IMO (it makes up for it with theming and intangibles). But it has 8 rides, 3 of which are somewhat lackluster IMO (PW, TS, and KRR). Two are good but not great (Dino, NRJ) and 3 are top notch (Everest, KS, and FoP).

It does have two of the best shows on property, but after all the work on Epcot and DHS, AK should be the next one to get a build out.

DAK has many attractions that aren’t rides. It’s what makes the park so refreshing and unique.

 

[CalebS]

Really.

That’s why the Shanghai PotC ride system with Indy overlay for DHS was scrapped.

It Sucks but I'm not surprised. Are they currently looking at cheaper attractions to add or have they decided to hold off on DHS for a few years?

 

[EricsBiscuit]

I’d be more than happy for them to add IJA.

 

[GlacierGlacier]

DAK is the one park we don't have any solid announced additions / rumors for right now, outside of the addition of Club 33.

I have to imagine there's something to be said for it to round out the Orlando part of the presentation at D23.

 

[doctornick]

Really.

So that was a real consideration? I know many of us on here talked about that as armchair Imagineering but it is interesting to see tht it was actually considered seriously by the company.

If that idea was "scrapped', is there a cheaper Indy option on the table for DHS? Like, I suppose, cloning IJA which would be relatively easy? OF is it just going to be the stunt show only for a long time....

Oh I agree... But the park does need a few more rides to round it out...

 

[PizzaPlanet]

The boat ride would be nice, but I would still be thrilled with a version of IJA. I just hope they don't stop expanding DHS after SWGE and MMRR open.

 

[Magicart87]

New or bust. DHS needs something unique especially now that Aanaheim has SW:GE and eventually Runaway Railway. Boat ride would have been just the ticket. Shame.

Indeed, now that Disney has real competition, they can "stay ahead" by aiming for each park to get an "E+" -level attraction, to go along with a lineup of top-tier, cutting-edge Es - which it seems that they are indeed aiming to make sure every park has.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't consider Shanghai's PotC to be an "E+," even though I loved it. It still didn't stand out to me as more grand and spectacular than, say, DLP's PotC. And I went on it several times just to make sure! RotR, on the other hand, combines that level of scale with the multiple pre-shows and ride systems, which might elevate it to the elusive "E+" ...but really, there's so much subjectivity involved... the point is that Shanghai PotC and RotR are / will be jaw-dropping.

I also doubt Epcot's GotG attraction will be an "E+," as least based on @marni1971's tepid reaction to the plans that he's aware of.
