#indiana jones ride

[veryfancyrat]

So, if you follow theme park news, you may have heard that Disney is going to be ripping out the classic ride Dinosaur from their Animal Kingdom park, and replacing it with an Indiana Jones ride, likely similar to those in Anaheim and Tokyo.

Sorry, Aladar, you're getting evicted.

It seems that most theme park fans would like to see a new Indy ride, but some are upset about losing the dinosaurs.

The thing is... I think you can have both! There are plenty of pulpy adventure stories about a lost world of dinosaurs. In fact, I figured out one way they could do it efficiently... it's what I would do if I were in charge of Imagineering, anyway. You'll recognize most of these effects from other rides (and even some which are just left in place from Dinosaur.) I give you...

Indiana Jones and the Hollow Earth!

The experience begins just like Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye (the ride out in California): We wind our way through the elaborately-themed queue as it passes through a jungle and into the shade of ancient ruins.

On the cool stone walls, we see Peruvian carvings depicting an enormous cave, where giant humanoid figures offer gifts to much smaller supplicants. But as we go deeper into the ruins, the carvings also begin to depict fearsome reptilian monsters. We come across artifacts which seem to be much too large to be made by regular humans: five-foot-long sandals, for instance, or a cracked soup bowl big enough to sit in. (These could make for good photo ops!)

Eventually, we end up in the safety briefing room, where Sallah informs us (via pre-recorded video) that while Indiana Jones was exploring this temple, he found an entrance to a vast system of subterranean caverns, full of larger-than-life plants and animals, seemingly forgotten by time itself! They go so deep that the researchers have begun joking that the planet must actually be hollow inside. Last week, Indy went in deeper than anyone has gone before, seeking evidence of the Staff of Giants: An artifact that, according to local legend, was forged by the mythically large people who once lived in the caverns, and holds the power to tame the mightiest beast. Unfortunately, Indy never returned from his expedition. Sallah is sure he's fine... wherever he is! But if we should happen to see Indy on our *very safe* private jeep tour of the pre-explored parts of the "Hollow Earth," we'll help him out, won't we?

We board the jeeps, which pass into a carved stone hallway, the walls lit by unnaturally large fluorescent fungi. Freshly-painted signs point out the tour route.

Suddenly, the vehicle shakes violently, and and the floor seems to crumble under us! The lights blink out as we lurch downward--and then out into a large natural cavern, where Indy stands spotlighted on a rock. He tells us that the floor caved in, and now we're all trapped in the Hollow Earth. We need to find a way out, and fast... the wildlife is BIG down here!

We roll from cavern to cavern, menaced by various threats. Enormous glowing bugs jump on rocks, and drop down on us from the branches of ancient trees. A carnotaurus lunges from behind a bush, defending its kill. A huge snake--perhaps a Titanoboa--threatens to strike at the jeep. A giant human skeleton lies sprawled in a clearing, its boney fingers still clutching an ornate silver staff. Its tip seems to crackle with electricity. "It's the Staff of Giants!" we hear Indy yell.

But beasts are not the only threat. Through the trees, in a quiet moment, we see the glimmering of a vast ocean, overshadowed by roiling clouds. Before we can wonder at the impossibility of a storm underground, the clouds begin to flash with lightning. Suddenly, a lightning bolt strikes the cliff next to the jeep, and boulders above us teeter menacingly.

We careen deeper and deeper into the caverns, until finally we come face to face with the carnotaurus again. Indy is there too, waving the staff we saw earlier, trying desperately to scare the carnotaurus away from the jeep. Suddenly, just as all seems lost, a bolt of electricity arcs from the staff and strikes the carnotaurus right on the nose. It rears back and roars in pain as we barrel past it to freedom.

Triumphant music plays as we enter the final cavern, only to see... a whole tribe of giants, accompanied by their pet dinosaurs! Indy is handing the staff to one of them, who gratefully receives the lost weapon. Happy giant children offer up crates of silver jewelry and dinosaur eggs in reward. One last giant strikes the cavern wall with his own staff, and mystical energy swirls, causing a door to open and release you back into the loading area, safe at last. Over the jeep radio, Indy says, "The folks back home will NEVER believe this one!"

Then you exit into the gift shop, where you can buy plushies of the "baby dinosaurs" you received from the giants.

No stealing the merch!

So... what do YOU think is going to be the plot of the new Indiana Jones adventure? I want to see who can come the closest to what we actually get!

Favorite Disney Parks Attraction Showdown: Round 1 - Group A2

California Screamin’ VS. Indiana Jones Adventures

Videos and propaganda under the cut!

California Screamin': California Adventure

Propaganda:

"Sure, technically the Incredicoaster is the same ride fundamentally, but that doesn't make me miss Screamin'. I'll never forgive them for taking away my nostalgic Screamin' music and replacing it with the cheesy voice lines of the Parr's chasing Jack Jack around."

Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye/Crystal Skull(either version): Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea

Propaganda:

"It’s just a ton of fun, super thematic, and I love the part where you fall backwards away from the boulder."

"It’s the first ride my family does every time it’s our first full day in Disneyland, it’s the most exciting ride my 60 year old mother can do (and her favorite!) and the only ride I genuinely miss getting FastPasses for."

"why is tokyo disney better at everything? that's not a comment, it's a question"

thinkin a lot about all the leaked ~for real this is the plot of the new Indy movie~ bullshit that was floating around online and all the people who were dead convinced that it was gonna be some time travel nightmare dogshit and ppl were MAD and how every single one of those viewpoints essentially boiled down to "we actually just hate that there's a woman in the new Indy and we also hate Kathlëën Kënnëdy" and how insane that is for so many reasons and how ~nerd bros~ will bend themselves into pretzel shapes previously unseen by human eyes to be mad abt shit and try to gatekeep and aren't they tired yet? How haven't they all died out in a mass extinction event yet? and how it was all totally and completely unfounded btw......

#I mean don't even get me started on being mad about a woman being in Indiana Jones like #there's a woman in every movie #Marion. Willie. Ilsa (nazi but still a woman). Marion again. like what's not clicking. Indy always had a woman along for the ride #is it cause he's not fucking this one? like? what is wrong with these people? #Helena was such an enjoyable character! she reminded me very much of a young Marion #and everyone can kiss my brown hole abt it #erin explains it all

nobody here cares but they're putting pirates of the caribbean on lightning lane/genie+ and it's going to absolutely ANNIHILATE the disneyland ecosystem every ride will be backed up to hell not to mention splash mountain and haunted mansion being down at the same time this is going to be a brutal year for disneyland guests

#like those 2 rides being down was already gonna back up pirates and now THIS? #the excess crowds are gonna have to go somewhere and the closest rides are rise of resistence and indiana jones #which tend to already have some of the worst waits in the park #the only other things nearby are jungle cruise and fucking winnie the pooh neither of which are gonna be able to handle #2 E ticket rides worth of people #why couldn't they just wait to do the haunted mansion refurb until tiana's is done this was so poorly planned #tomorrowland and toontown can't accommodate that many people either like holy shit #killing josh damaro rn what the hell are you doing man #sassy speaks #dl

I feel like no one ever talks about going to Disney as a little kid and seeing a mouse three times your size.

#we only went once to disney world and i was 4 so i barely remember it #plus since it was summer it was fucking packed with people #also i was short so i could barely ride anything #the best thing was seeing the Indiana Jones live action show (i really thought he was Harrison ford ngl) it was sooo cool to little me #is it concerning that i had watched those movies at that age? probably #also i swear on my life. it was night at the park and while we were about to start leaving. i saw cinderella and her dress was glowing!! #it was breathtaking #bby screams into the void

what stage of fandom is it when you start imagining disney style animatronic theme park rides about your piece of media

#hsgsjdbsksnsp #steal a car and joyride through starcourt mall kshskdndkd #show scenes with different characters yelling or veering out of your way #at the end you’re being chased indiana jones ride style by a pack of demodogs or a mind flayer tentacle #everybody greets you at the end the adults like ‘you could have been killed!’ and the kids like ‘hey tht was awesome!!’
