National Treasure.... The Ride???

From a financial point of view, Indiana Jones is a more "valuable" franchise, so I'm sure Disney would be more interested in tapping into the IJ market. But the other thing about IJ is that it's more about an adventure scenario and exotic locations, whereas National Treasure is about following historical clues. And National Treasure also doesn't have an iconic scene to include like the rolling boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

But just like other rides the IJ market is getting older and the younger generation probably dont even know who he is. So they would gear towards the IJ of this century....IMO.

That's a good point. But with the new IJ coming in May a guaranteed blockbuster--and the previous IJ films being classics--I'd say IJ is still more iconic and a bigger name than National Treasure... But who knows, Disney likes to surprise.
OK why does everyone want ANOTHER Indiana Jones attraction? Last I checked we already have a show at MGM and a ride at DL which I thought was the same ride at Dinosaur at AK. Why would we wanna bring that same thing again? Why not come up with something new? Dont get me wrong, I love the Indiana Jones Series and even have the box set but some of you aren't seeing the point of my idea.... Things are already in place for a National Treasure ride.... unlike IJ. Oh and did I mention having to go through all the "trouble" of getting Lucas' approval (which I am sure wouldn't be a problem anyway).
Hey if they can make room and a themed area for a IJ thrill ride (unlike the one in DL) located in the back of Epoct then I will be all for it, But again, things area already in place for a National Treasure ride .... Oh and I forgot... NT is a DISNEY MOVIE!!! IJ is not. :animwink:
Indiana Jones Trivia!!!
What is Indiana Jones real name?
Where did the name Indiana come from?
Answers will come later unless someone actually knows them. :animwink:

My vote for National Treasure ride and I love Harrison Ford. In fact in my real life I am Krista Ford, don't tell Mickey.
Indiana was the dog's name, I think Indy's birth name was Francis? I am probally wrong about that one.

Seriously. IJA is light years away from Dinosaur. It's hard to believe they share anything in common.
Personally I have never seen NT. I have had different people explain the whole thing to me and it just sounds stupid. So I'm not really all about a ride for a movie I don't even want to see.
However, if they were to bring IJ to the Studios, I would be first in line. I got to ride earlier this year, and I have to say, it is one of the best rides Disney has made in a really long time. The whole experiance was just amazing. I don't get why anyone would not want it in WDW. :shrug:

No, Indy's name is Henry.
Which is why his father calls him Junior.
Henry Jones Jr.
National Treasure is a fun little action movie. Give it a shot. Don't expect an Oscar winner, because thats not what it is. But if you want to be entertained for 2 hours or so, it will do that.
Because the EMV ride system is terrible. EMVs just bore me to death. They are supposed to be exciting rides, but all they do is herk and jerk. I'd rather have a new ride than another EMV that follows the exact track that Dinosaur does.
Indy is better than Dinosaur, sure, but that doesn't mean we need them both. Give us a different, NEW Indy, or National Treasure, or whatever.
Well, I think I can give you the "I don't like the jerky EMV ride system" better than, "We already have that ride system" argument. Really, when you are on POTC are you thinking, "well, this sucks, it's just like IASW, just with pirates!" no. Even if the track layouts are the exact same for both Dinosaur and IJ that isn't something most people think about while they are riding the rides.
However, I can see how all the jerking around and short stops could take away from, rather than add to the over enjoyment of a ride. So in that since I can see wanting a different ride system.

I also think a National Treasure attraction would be awesome! There is a lot of potential and several different ways they could go with this. In the sequel, they visit cities all over the country and world (London, Paris) and that could be worked in somehow. Plus, this one looks like it has a bit more action than the first, so I think that the ride could be super exciting. I'm throwing the trailer in here so you all can see (if you haven't) so you can judge for yourselves!

Check it out, apparently Nick Cage is all for this idea too:

That's cool. Maybe with his backing, Disney might actually look into the idea.

Sounds good to me! Although, National Treasure is no ordinary action film, with all of the clues and the historical references. If they do it, I'd like to see a very themed experience that allows you to put together clues to go on adventure. They should make it like no other attraction they have ever done before. If there would be a rollercoaster, it should only be one part of the ride and only if you get the clue that sends you there! A huge building with lots of different experiences. Disney...make it so!

I think they should change the upcoming Kim Possible interactive game at Epcot into a National Treasure interactive game. You'd be able to search World Showcase to find clues. Plus it could tie into the National Treasures exhibit inside the American Adventure.
