- News 8's Jeff Zevely got a special behind-the-scenes look at one of Disneyland fans' favorite rides in 2007. Jeff learned all the secrets behind the surprises and thrills of Indiana Jones Adventure - which first opened in 1995. The ride's operators were excited to show off the special effects that make the attraction so magical.
Super cool. Never get rid of this! This ride is a piece of Disney history and still is one of the best rides there. Would have been so fun to walk around the track and in the maintenance bay.
Get ready to replace it with Encanto's girl world of fierce women as that's where Disney's mind is at now.
@@michaelsiebielec5554 They’re literally making Indy 5.
This is my favorite ride I love it even more now. So cool.👍👍👍👍👍
@@michaelsiebielec5554 Please tell me you're joking. I love that movie but please please tell me you're joking. I am not one to protest and be up in arms about stuff at all but I would totally defend this ride even to signing a petition or showing support for it, lol. This world really will never get another ride like this. Plus it fits too well with the area verses encanto.
It’s true. The state of the ride is embarrassing. I rode it on opening day and now the ride is a hollow shell of its once former self. The irony? It is factually accurate that Disney is charging a lot of money at the parks, including Genie Plus, but they are not reinvesting that money back into the parks.
Disney is in fact investing in Encanto, but they refuse to refurbish rides like Indiana Jones.
Indiana Jones 5 was awful
"Doors open and close!"
Wow, never seen that before
One of the best memories from my childhood was getting to walk through the ride before it opened. A family friend worked at Disneyland and brought me to the cast member night with his family in '94 - '95. I was about 9 or 10 and felt like one of the coolest/luckiest kids in the world. Thanks, Dave. ♥️
That sounds so cool! you really were one of the luckiest people in the world. Good memories.
One of Disneylands best rides! I love this ride. It’s now slow it’s actually pretty fast and fun. This is one of my favorite dark rides.
Wow! That was a really cool look st the ride! I had no idea i wasnt actually moving backward when the ball rolls! I notice that the Indy animatronic thats trying to hold the doors closed is in a completely different position in more recent videos ad has less movement. The snake still jumps out and the ball olling effect still works, but I don't recall ever seeng the skeleton jump out and its been years since the three doors slid. If not for this doc i might have assumed that there never were 3 doors and 3 sets of dialogue and i had simply imagined it. Still quite a thrill to ride! When its not down for maintenance.
The 'three-doors' is gone and a lot of other effects have been disabled/ignored....still a great ride but could be one of the best.
Yep definitely needs to go down for a refurbishment
The cable that moves the door failed and when disney tried to order a new cable they got scammed...but I wish they would bring it back..but still an amazing attraction
@@DTMB35 they just finished the refurbishment adding new effects.
R.I.P. three door effect 1995-2014
It's a crime how short this segment is
FYI, cast members who work the attraction walk the track after closing to remove trash and lost items as part of the closing attraction procedure and before handing it off to maintenance. All items go in bags and are dropped off at lost and found at City Hall on Main Street. So, if you ever lose a cell phone, glasses, hat or such, just check there at the end of the day (or at the attraction after a ride breakdown, they walk the track then too). Unless you lose medication or something important like that, they won't stop the ride to retrieve your lost item. I worked this attraction for a year in 2013 and walked the track several times. If you are one of the last guest in line at the end of the day, chances are you might ride with a truck load of cast members too.
Why is medication important? Just go back to the pharmacy and get a refill
@@user-dt8hh9ni4r Some meds people can't get refills for or they might be traveling from X location and might not be able to get a hold of their doctor to get a refill. Just depends on the situation and the medication. I'm not an expert, but just a few reasons.
Lost items don’t go to city hall anymore, there’s a dedicated lost and found building in the esplanade next to Disneyland.
@@MattJoh Good to know. It's been a while since I worked there (2014).
Do they do this on all the rides each night ?
I'm glad the staff cleans up after the ride closes each night. My friend's wallet fell out during the ride, but she was able to recover it the next morning at Lost and Found.
Amazing footage of these ride effects in full lighting! So incredibly cool!
I have always admired Indiana Jones
Besides the last time I rode this this is the only time I’ve seen the snake working
And Indy doesn't say "Careful, watch for anything that slithers!" anymore.
This is by far my favorite ride at Disneyland, excluding Galaxy's Edge. I wish I could get an all day pass to ride this without lines
The snake when it works looks really good
Imagine how cool this would be if you could actually walk through the ride as it was working like there’s sensors for each room so it would activate but a little slower like the ride.
Thank you for sharing the extreme hq version of this!!
Went yesterday, August 27, 2022. Snake doesn't work, boulder effect wasn't working, we retreated from a stationary boulder, super exciting. lol
Sucks that most of the effects hardly work now. I was just there this past weekend and I really miss when the snake and skeletons would pop out at you
I was there last week and it was weird how few of the effects were actually working. still a lot of fun though
Not even the bug projections or fog machines run the animatronic snake is just a dummy now it makes me so sad
@@dannydethanos6994 it's been all fully updated. Snake is fixed. And new effects have been added.
@@cokerfilms2901 ✊ yesssssss!!!!!
I love to see these making of docs!
One of my most favorite rides.
One of the greatest rides of all time 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That looks nothing like Harrison Ford 😂
You're not meant to see the details up close. But in 2010 (for indy blocking the gates of doom and later in 2010 they got the indiana jones animatronic at the end neat the broken Boulder replaced with a new one that has the realistic indy.) they made the animatronic look 100% like a Harrison Ford.
Fun fact! They actually got a mold of his face for the animatronics.
The first animatronic blocking the gates of doom seems to look far more like Harrison Ford unlike the Boulder chamber indy and grand finale indy.
If you squint your eyes shake your head and hold your phone arms length away it kinda looks like Harrison Ford
This and other rides are the reason why Disneyland stands above all the other amusement parks.
Back when a lot of effects still worked
I’m at least glad we just get to see the star!!!!
When are they actually going to fix all of the broken effects?
Hopefully someday, but its looking slim
Seeing how the magic happens, is also magic. Would love to see more of these.
Can't wait until I'm there again next weekend.
That ride use to be so go. Unfortunately, as special effects have broken over the years they haven’t fixed them and so 75% of what you see here doesn’t work anymore. Disney is cheapening the experiences badly now.
That's the real reason for the "walkthrough."
Disney is scrapping the cars "to save the planet's resources" but it's really because they don't fix them anymore.
Almost every time Disney disables part of the show is due to reliability reasons, guests like to have the rides open when they visit not breaking down all the time because they keep using an unreliable effect.
Awesome
“You think you’ll be able to buck me off?” Why did I hear something else? 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, this one’s a keeper. Favorited.
That is so cool.
It's sad Indiana Jones is a shadow of it's former glory. That ride truly was one of the most immersive experiences. It still is great, but It's no longer an A+ an more like a B+
Just realized I went a month ago and the beginning where there’s 3 doors . It didn’t move , the snake before you enter the skull didn’t move . And the walll that moves backward with the ball didn’t work either .
@@PeppersGhost I was just there and rode it maybe 4 times over two days... I can confirm that the ball isn't rolling, the snake isn't moving, the skeleton doesn't pop out, and the three doors aren't working. On the first day, the part with the rats over the cobweb wasn't projecting (right before the room with the darts), so it was just black with the rat sound effects.
@@PeppersGhost Where he's in front of the broken boulder? TBH I'm not sure, but I don't think so. If it did, it was after - I've been on enough times over the years to recognize hiccups/abnormalities and I think I would've noticed if there was a delay before the final Indy.
I was there a few weeks ago and the ball wasn’t working any of the times we rode it. I also don’t think I’ve actually ever even seen the rat log effect I’ve only heard the sounds 🥴
That is so cool
It's the same Ride System as Dinosaur at Disney's Animal Kingdom in WDW.
I wanna see pirates like this !!!!
this thing breaks down every session bro say i'm lying 😭
The rotating doors…DISNEY NEEDS TO BRING. THEM. BACK!!!!!!! 😢😢😢😢
So jealous ! They got to walk the track?!
How high is the bridge off the ground below? Seems pretty high or is it an illusion?
cool.
As a kid, I was afraid the Indiana Jones robot at the end on the rope would fall and land on me or someone else. What is keeping it in place?
Now i’m not gonna lie this ride terrifies me when I was 10 years old in 2002. Back then I thought I was going to the entrance of the jungle Cruise but I am mistaken enter the ride of Indiana Jones and the Temple for bed and I. Of course I am too nervous and at least I did not scream like a child. This was my second scary ride the first scary rider when I was Star Tours in 1998. But in 2008 it’s no longer a scary ride anymore and I’m glad everything I’m writing makes sense it’s not real. Now I’m beginning to like Indiana Jones & Star Tours.
I wish this was at WDW!
The Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom has the same ride vehicles and track layout. Basically the same ride with a Dinosaur theme
I wish Disney could've made the indi animatronic look more like Harrison Ford during the post refurb
Oh…..if only they cared this much today for this ride…..
I got scared of this ride once. I even got scared when the eyes on the face started to glow and flash as he started talking.
brooo same
That’s the least scary part
So thats how they do it.
Is that from the 90s or more 2020s interview
0:30 people have canonically gone to disneyland and been fucking speared to death
They could make Indiana Jones a lot better
Wait Is The Ride Still Building Or In Refurbishment Idk
クリスタルスカルの魔宮も仕組みが一緒だから、インディ・ジョーンズもあんな感じなんだろうね。
I worked at a place that actually made the servos for Disneyland. Those are the hydraulic robotic things that make things move.
Political prisoner factory in China?
Not getting better here.
Where is 0:30
The mummy room
Right as you turn left around the corner into the mummy room (after seeing the giant face for the first time), look back over your left shoulder. Bones is leaning against the wall.
Looks like Harrison Ford if you have cataracts and squint real hard.
How many of these effects are no longer working? 😂
Almost all of them unfortunately
Sorry to hear him say it looks like Harrison Ford, when it does not. That's by choice, not accident. They couldn't secure the rights to Ford's likeness so they went with a face that was an amalgam of several faces to come up with something close. To me, it's never even looked close. It grates my ears when someone says it looks just like him. Really? Look again.
It's Indiana's cross-eyed cousin, Cleveland Jones.
I mean no offense but that doesn't really look that much like Harrison lol
You could tell that cheap Disney didn't actually want to pay for Harrison's likeness on the Indy animatronic. That looks NOTHING like Harrison Ford.
They own his likeness, it comes down to an older animatronic from 1995 mixed with the fact that guests do not see his face like that with the work lights on, they see it with the show lights on which is much dimmer and doesnt need as much detail.
Back when disney used to care...
It is always breaking down lol
Still a good ride, but needs a MAJOR refurbishment.
1:17 It's all the magic. (Meanwhile lobotomized Indiana Jones is having a seizure)
This ride is ALWAYSSSSSSS DOWN
And yet it's broken down more than it's working. Disney can't be bothered to put the money into a real fix.
Litter bugs throwing trash on a ride
Better than Grandma's ashes.
I work on one of Disneylands most popular rides and we retreive hats, gum, pins and hair weaves from the attraction and that is after operations staff have already gone through the ride.
I wonder how many deaths this ride had giving Disney world's reputation
Huh?
