I’m so late to this video but yes!!! I’ve always read explanations about the doorway sequence, never fully understood it till the model in this video. Brilliantly done.
I've been to Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Paris Disney, and *still* can't believe they didn't put this ride in more parks. It's amazing! Wish they'd do more immersive adventures like this instead of all the projected screens crap.
Yeah the practical effects really sell it a lot more than lots of screens! Of course practical is more expensive though, i fear we will have less and less as time goes on. Pretty soon rides will just be VR goggles XD
@@Alniemi Not sure about Disney, but I think Universal has truly realized they can’t just do screen rides. Supposedly they actually cancelled a planned VR attraction, and any other planned attractions they rely heavily on screens. Hopefully this realization hits other parks as well.
Same, had a lot of fun at disney world, but was really off put by how the rides just felt like being sat in front of a screen and watching a movie that happens to move
A rack-and-pinion system would be far simpler and much easier to fix. It would also break down much less frequently as gears tend to last longer than cables.
I mean with all the free time Disney has had over the pandemic (With snow white’s enchanted wish they have definitely been working) maybe they fixed the effect??? Wishful thinking but hopefully at some point it comes back!
@@AmusementLabs Funny story from a lady who was cutting my hair a before the pandemic: “I thought the rubble effect was still around so I ducked and broke my nose on the dashboard”
Kinda like how jursssic park rides at universal ages, slow dilphpsaursus, rare seeingnthe falling car effect which was the best water ride effect probably, then the bad ultrasaur animatronic, the parasaurolophus not being as fast and jumping as high.
You deserve more subs my dude. The amount of effort and research you put in is much more difficult than pointing a camera at yourself and talking. Good job.
I remember being in Disneyland at a young age (maybe around 4?), and me and my dad rode this ride 3-4 times in a row to see all of the introductory doors. This was easily one of my favorite theming elements ever, and I was very sad to learn that it was removed when I went there earlier this year. I definitely hope that it gets fixed!
My Dad and I got stuck on Splash mountain and got stuck right before the big drop and so they did an evacuation. Of course they gave us both exit entrances for any two rides. So we would go through the exit and and they would ask for a card. When they asked for it back we were like nope, the cast members said to keep it all day! And so we did and continued to ride everything without waiting in line for anything! It Rocked this was about 20 years ago!
Hello, T.B.G.! A similar thing happened to me...except it was going by the island area, featuring a donkey...we were helped out of the 'boats', and onto the island, where one of the riders hugged the donkey, while his buddy took a photo of it! Fun 'explaining' that picture to everyone! Kindest regards, young lady!
Hey, totally off topic, but your speech and narration have gotten so much clearer. These videos are only going to get better and you’ve got a well developed style. Major props!
The three-piston motion base is capable of much more movement than they currently use it for. After opening, they had to reduce the amount of movement produced by the three-piston motion base, because it was considered too violent for some (translation: Disney was worried about getting sued by people who injured themselves when the vehicle wildly bucked).
In a somewhat similar move, the Ratatouille Ride in Paris was DRASTICALLY (some say by 50%) slowed down just before public opening, they had to scramble to adjust the animation scenes and extend them last minute
Part of what you said is true, the rest is not. I was one of the original 12 Design Engineers who designed, engineered, prototyped and developed this ride system between 1990 - 1993. Of course the motion base can be articulated into more extreme positions and at much higher velocities. While developing it we did a lot of tuning to smooth it out. That's a part of developing any new design. But we worked all that out WAY before (years before) this ride opened to the public. And all businesses that deal with the public are mindful of the possibility of people getting injured and design and engineer their products accordingly. To do anything other than that would be unethical / unprofessional.
@@GoogleEqualsEvil I apologize if what I commented was incorrect. However, many have reported to me that the current ride experience is much tamer than when they first rode it immediately after opening.
I love how they brought back Mara's original voice back with James Earl Jones. When they revamped it and they changed the voice it just didn't sound right.
first time I do comment on a video : what a hard work, precise explanation, well done scale vehicle and track layout, nothing to say more, keep going ! really like your videos
Do you know how many times I rode that to try and get all 3 paths?! A bunch! Thats brilliant E&D. Thank you for this breakdown! And I was wondering why when I went back, long after that grand opening, that the door never changed. Too cool. You did a great job.
This was such a cool video. The Indians Jones ride is my favorite ride in the entire world. I love it and it was really cool to see how it actually works. I always wondered how they did the giant bolder trick. These rides are so cool.
Holy crap! I love your commitment to making a fully "functioning" model of both the ride, the ride car AND the door effect. It's extremely well done and goes to show how innovative this ride was at the time and even now. I seriously look forward to watching more of your videos!
Dude this is your best video yet! Been following for about a year now. Really glad you decided to bump up the production quality like this and really focus on the engineering aspects of these rides. It fills a niche in the theme park breakdown type videos out there. A little history, a lot of engineering. Versus the other guys have lots of history and little engineering. I hope it won't take months between videos though, I know how much work this took. They take time, just hopefully not too much time lol. Looking forward to your channels future.
Great information in this video. I had NO idea how the Chamber of Destiny worked, but it makes total sense. A quick trick, rather than 3 different paths. Brilliant!
My ex girlfriend's brother is a lead at Anaheim. He worked with Spielberg and Lucas while Indie was being built. He ran CarsLand and now runs Star wars, he's very humble and loves working there.
Stunning models and visualizations! Thank you for letting me see one of my favorite attractions in an all new way. I can’t wait to see what you do next
Wait what? The cars don't move backwards during the boulder scene? Ive ridden this ride so many times how did I not know that, thats actually really impressive how convincing it is
I come back to this video time and time again, it’s just so interesting. And last time I went to Disneyland me and this other guy were explaining how the ride works, imo how the ride works is even more interesting than the ride itself.
I love this ride so much. I've been to Disneyland twice and I rode it several times and it's my favourite ride in any theme park I've ever been to. But I never understood how the Chamber of Destiny used to work because I've never seen how it was before and it was confusing. I finally understand it after seeing your model of it. Thank you for that
24 hours of nostalgic curiosity. 😀 The Lava Bridge was very 🆒, because it reminded me of how hard it is to deal with how serious a lava flow really is as part of the suspense on a dark ride that's based on the Indiana Jones franchise. The reason why I like that scene so much is actually because, I studied about Geology in the 6th Grade for Science at my former middle 🏫. I like Star Tours at Disneyland as we know today. As a kid, I also liked Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Mad Tea Party, It's A Small World, etc. which are dark rides located at Disneyland which is a theme park located in Anaheim, CA.
This ride could easily be installed at Disney world as well as the ride at animal kingdom “dinosaur” uses the exact same track layout and path and the same effects at the same locations.
It’s actually impossible to have Indy in the dinosaur show building. Yes, the ride system is exactly the same, however Indy has a liiiiiiiittle bit more track than dinosaur (Indy has an extra “s”) and also the dinosaur building is not structured or built to house Indy and all of its effects, there’s not enough room for it (I’m an ex dinosaur cast member)
I remember having the annual pass to Disneyland right before Cars Land opened up and kept seeing the doors into the temple change. At first I thought I was just remembering things wrong until probably about 6 months into my pass that I took the left door then went on again and took the centre door! That effect actually got me since I was so confused on that! Then I went again yearly during my high school years when I played in the band and again last month and I thought I was just getting bad RNG with the same door. Shame they never got it to work again.
VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE video within its self, BUT the explanations with the 3D print models made it amazing! VERY well done! look forward to seeing more videos!!!
I love how you just go all out with these Videos! Keep it up man. If you wouldn´t have built these models I probably wouldn´t understand it at all! Great work. 👍
Loved this video! That model is incredible! This is by far my favorite ride of all time. I’ve heard rumors each car has its own personality programmed into it. Not sure what that means exactly but it sounds cool. I also love how many slight variations there are in the dialogue through out the ride.
That rumor may have been initially true when the ride opened, but I've ridden it many times over the last decade and it's always been the same program.
I miss the rotating doors effect so much, it was so awesome to see them move! Also I have had the rat log effect look decent on a couple of times of riding, but I feel like I have also ridden with that effect turned off completely? But I think the most impressive thing is the motion of the ride itself. Even with knowing how it is the vehicle itself doing the movement and not the track being like that or anything, it still feels so realistic to how a jeep or other off road vehicle would feel and I get so absorbed in the ride experience every time
I remember the rat log. For the first LOT rides I didn’t know what it was, just fog and randomness with rats scurrying around. THEN suddenly my last 5 times riding it I can see it clearly and was like “is this new? This is cool!”
My pleasure. I like making little models, though maybe in the future I won't do stuff that's as complex as the EMV model. That was a real pain to make. 😅
We were "fortunate" once to have the ride break down in the insect tunnel; on our way out, they led us through the boulder room, so we got a good look at the constantly spinning boulder, its extending arms, and the humongous speakers behind it (since all the lights were up so we could see our way out)
This is one of the rides that i remember most, I went in 1997, and i had no idea how new it was, but it definitely left quite an impression. I cant believe how many details i had NO idea about, all the moving structures, and how much was under the cars. Very cool stuff! definitely earned my sub!! You should do a video on Medusa from Six flags Discovery kingdom! another one of my favorites!
A while ago, I saw a video of some people being evacuated from the Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom, which uses the same kind of ride vehicle (and a suspiciously similar layout). The guy filming pointed out that the floor was covered in something sticky wherever the vehicle went up an incline, to provide extra traction. Presumably, they do that in the temple as well.
I thought I vaguely remembered there being a "different" door you would go through on different rides for Indiana Jones but I thought I made it up in my head. I wish they would bring that back!
I can't believe there is only one active doorway! I rode it in the 2000s and believed there were multiple tracks ever since 🤣 Kudos on the models, so cool.
In all fairness, with trackless rides, they have been able to get multiple paths to work properly, the main issue with trying that with this is that it would take up a bunch of space to get the cars to join up again after the doorway. But, it worked pretty well with Mystic Manor in Hong Kong Disney. They use the same dart effect on that, and it's pretty effective.
So the technology has been used on this ride , test track, dinosaur and cars ride. Just cars and test track don’t have the added affect of moving around to simulate big hit by something. So 4 rides all using the same technology just some adding more things to the cars , crazy how far rides are going know with non track vehicles.
I don’t think there is any kind of EMV ride at other parks I think it’s pretty much a Disney thing, though looking at it super star limo or monsters ink ride know has something similar.

Exactly. Sure, practical effects are expensive. You know what else is expensive? A Disney vacation.
Those doors man, one of the things I wish they would fix. It's been too long and it was totally worth iit
A rack-and-pinion system would be far simpler and much easier to fix. It would also break down much less frequently as gears tend to last longer than cables.
Even something as simple as a grip plat and drive tire.
I mean with all the free time Disney has had over the pandemic (With snow white’s enchanted wish they have definitely been working) maybe they fixed the effect??? Wishful thinking but hopefully at some point it comes back!
@@Lemoncoder103 also, I would love if they brought back the rubble effect too. Just not with ice, maybe chunks of foam or plastic.
@@AmusementLabs Funny story from a lady who was cutting my hair a before the pandemic: “I thought the rubble effect was still around so I ducked and broke my nose on the dashboard”
This needs to be seen by all theme park enthusiasts, and future ride engineers.
It’s so good.
That's my aim. 🙂 So far it's actually working too cause someone said they found my channel through their teacher.
The Chamber of Destiny was the most flawlessly executed on-ride effect in history.
Kinda like how jursssic park rides at universal ages, slow dilphpsaursus, rare seeingnthe falling car effect which was the best water ride effect probably, then the bad ultrasaur animatronic, the parasaurolophus not being as fast and jumping as high.
The 3D printings were absolutely amazing!
first time commenter, dude this was so well done with the print outs I think I thought I knew how the doors worked but didn't till you visualized it
Thanks. 🙂 The Chamber of Destiny model I think is by far one of the best I've done. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
Same! I always thought the DOORS were moving and not everything around. the model made it super clear, along with the CCTV footage
@@LeoElso Me, too! I knew the whole room moved, but thought there were only 3 doors and they moved with it. Awesome model, great job!
Can we get a super cut of all the broken Disney Animatronics and effects called "How It Worked?"
😅🤣 That would be _at least_ an hour long video.
Dew it! 😂
@@duncanharrell5009 lol, maybe next year for April Fool's.
@@AmusementLabs maybe split the video in parts
This is your best "How It Works" video yet! Personally, I love this ride and you did it justice with this video.

Maybe you could answer this…. Didn’t there used to be a part where it appeared the car was driving down steps??
Didn’t this ride used to have a scene where the cars appeared to be driving down steps?? I can’t have imagined that?
That's one kick-ass 3D printed model - especially with the convincing lighting! Well done dude - you knocked it out of the park :D

The amount of time to build all those modules. Just for us ungrateful youtube viewers. That's dedication
It's also a portfolio as well. Not all models will mean a video does great.
The models and explanations of the underlying mechanics for these effects are amazing, great video!!
No joke, after being a Six Flags kid for a good few years, this was the ride that sold me on Disneyland when I first rode it back in 2005.
This is a fantastic video! The bus-bar system under the main track has always confused me, but now I see it! Thank you so much!
Hey, totally off topic, but your speech and narration have gotten so much clearer. These videos are only going to get better and you’ve got a well developed style. Major props!
Went on this ride as a little kid. Can't forget because it made me cry at 12:35. I thought the bolder would hit me.

If you look behind you when you reach Boulder scene, you will see the scenic wall move and the wall from the other room not move.

Thats brilliant E&D.
Thank you for this breakdown!
And I was wondering why when I went back, long after that grand opening, that the door never changed. Too cool. You did a great job.

My favorite Disney Park ride of all time.
Great video for the 26th anniversary of this ride. I was fortunate to be there opening day 26 years ago and waited over 3 hours in line to ride.
Amazing demonstration of the bolder effect an the 3D modeling
10:00 Disney was worried that they got scammed, that is funny coming from them.
Finally, a video that I can understand shows me the mechanics of the boulder. I love that effect so much!
So glad you got the Ice machine rubble in there!
"In the remote jungle known as Anaheim, CA"... It is an avacado jungle. Of death.
2:05 The face says it all, he _will_ be back to this ride
That boulder and the big drop was my favorite part of the ride!!!
Indy is my favourite dark ride of all time. And you've done such justice to it in this video, a magnificent effort!

I’ve heard rumors each car has its own personality programmed into it. Not sure what that means exactly but it sounds cool. I also love how many slight variations there are in the dialogue through out the ride.

I was there opening day it was the most amazing thing I ever saw I was in 7th grade. Still to this day it is one of my favorite rides
I thought I vaguely remembered there being a "different" door you would go through on different rides for Indiana Jones but I thought I made it up in my head. I wish they would bring that back!
I can't believe there is only one active doorway! I rode it in the 2000s and believed there were multiple tracks ever since 🤣 Kudos on the models, so cool.
Yeah, it's pretty ingenious and seems to have fooled loads of people, but once you see it in motion it's a big oooooohhhhhhh ahha moment.

So the technology has been used on this ride , test track, dinosaur and cars ride. Just cars and test track don’t have the added affect of moving around to simulate big hit by something. So 4 rides all using the same technology just some adding more things to the cars , crazy how far rides are going know with non track vehicles.
Yeah, the EMV is essentially the VEEERY early version of test track.
I don’t think there is any kind of EMV ride at other parks I think it’s pretty much a Disney thing, though looking at it super star limo or monsters ink ride know has something similar.
@@AmusementLabs as someone who works in Cars-land, This is pretty much true, as i speak to our maintenance guys all the time.
@@ace4542 yeah, I've seen Imagineering story that has some good shots of the underside of the RSR vehicles.
