Originally Posted By Mr X Well, not really a spoiler is it? I just wrote that since some people seem so sensitive about that stuff. Why is the title lame, Deb? I just thought it was awsome because that's also the name of the attraction at DisneySea "Temple of the Crystal Skull"...I can't wait to see what hidden stuff we'll now see in that attraction. I plan to go see the movie, and then hit DisneySea the day after to ride Indy 3-4 times!

Could an American version of the "Temple of the Crystal Skull" ride be in the future? (Probably with a slight name change to "Kingdom".)

Originally Posted By Mr X **Isn't the 'Indiana Jones' ride at TDS essentially the same ride as at Disneyland? Or have I dared to suggest something blasphemous.** INFIDEL!! No, you're right. They are very similar but NOT identical...there are two very significant differences in that there's a sort of "waterspout" effect in Tokyo where it's fire in Anaheim (I prefer the fire, actually), plus this sort of "god idol" thing that yells at you. As far as those two things go, I wonder if they might play into the movie and, if so, that'll make the ride even neater to me. Also, bearing the same name after all, there's always the possibility that they'll go in and change the Tokyo attraction more, which would be neat since the more different it is from California the better (for those of us who go to both parks, anyway).

The two attractions use the same ride mechanism, of course, but they are pretty radically different attractions. I don't see where "Indiana Jones Adventure" and "Dinosaur" would be substantially more redundant than any other cases where multiple rides use similar ride system. By that logic, why have all three "Small World", "Pirates" and the Epcot Mexican Pavilion ride? How about all those redundant Fantasyland dark rides? -Jeff
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Actually, the layouts are the same. The rooms are divided up differently to fit the stories of each attraction, but the turns, dips, and hills all happen in exactly the same place. You have to be pretty familiar with one of the layouts before you try to figure out where you are on the other. The easy spot to find is the bridge, which is a long, straight section. From there, you can pretty much get the rest based on the feeling of it. As for Temple of the Forbidden Eye and Temple of the Crystal Skull being the same, they are very similar. Where DL's has a southeastern Asian influence, TDS's has an ancient Mexican feel to it. It's sort of a background thing that you don't conciously notice, but it makes a pretty big difference all together. Also, there didn't seem to be as much focus on the temple in TDS being in ruins like in DL (it may be the same reason that there aren't the big lightning strikes on TOT-culture differences), and it's missing a lot of the skelletons and, ironically enough, skulls that seem to be everywhere in DL. Also, DL's is more warm red/orange tones, where TDS's is cool green/blues. There isn't really one thing that you can pick out as being very different than the other (perhaps the vortex instead of fire), but they definately each have a distinct feeling.
Originally Posted By Mr X I sort of agree. Even if the track is identical, it's a completely different attraction in any case! You could make the argument much more convincingly for Star Tours vs. Body Wars, or even Honey I shrunk the Audience compared to Muppets right?
Originally Posted By brotherdave Besides, who says they'll use the 'exact' layout anyway, if they decide to build it. They could always re-arrange the track layout to fit differently in the building. And even if they do use the exact same layout, how many guests are going to notice this anyway? Both Body Wars and Star Tours used the exact same cabins (minus REX in Star Tours). Of course, who knows, maybe a totally different ride system could be used if they were to build another Indy attraction at the Studios! We'll just have to wait and see...
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hmm, a totally different ride system at WDSP? Every ride there that is a clone has bascially been an exact clone from somewhere else, albeit, there are only two rides: RNR and future TOT. I really don't see a different Indy version would come to that park if history is anything, but of course I don't see Indy going there period .

Originally Posted By TDR_Fan <<it's missing a lot of the skeletons>> Actually, DisneySea's version features more skeletons than Disneyland's version. The main chamber in the queue with the giant statue has dozens and dozens of full skeletons, whereas Disneyland has a few skeletons and skulls in the spike room.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros It seems like they are all concentrated in that room in TDS though, where they seem to be scattered through the entire temple in DL. While the TDS queue is pretty shocking at first, it's also pretty easy to forget when thinking about the rest of the ride.
