Great story about the Indiana Jones ride

[steves5150]

They tell you about some of the affects that did not last. I remember the ice machine that made it look like lava as you crossed the bridge. They said the rat thing never worked but I remember seeing it last November. I can still remember the line (the first week it opened) going all the way down Adventureland and going down Frontierland. The wait said 4 hours. Good thing we got on early.

Here is the story

Great article, Steve. I can't wait to go back--Indiana Jones is my favorite ride at Disneyland!

It's weird, I remember the rat thing, too. I'll have to watch for it in June!

Thanks for the link, Steve.

We see the rats everytime we go. We like to raise our hands when we go under the "branch."

2 months after it opened we were there and the lines were 3 hours long maybe longer at that time. Lucky for us we got on the ride early that morning prior to the park opening.

The article was great.

Thanks

Doesn’t the line still get long enough to go down part of Adventurland?

<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color=navy>Um, ever since they started Fastpass, I haven't seen the line that long.

I remember when it snaked out of Adventureland, to Main Street, entered through Frontierland, zigzagged a little, went back over through Main Street, and back through Adventureland, and then you got to wind through the line by the attraction, then the line inside the temple - it was 4 hours long. I didn't wait in it, though. I waited until it got all the way down to two hours.
