Originally Posted By FerretAfros I was there last week (Monday night) and it was closed.

All they said was that it was related to "technical difficulties" which could mean just about anything.

Originally Posted By iamgoofy I was in Southern California from 9/27 to 10/8 and spent about 8 days at DL. During my time there Indy was down for about 4 of those days. When it was up however it was not working anywhere near what I expected, I would say it was operating at about 50 percent of what a perfect Indy ride would be operating at. For example Indy telling the passengers in the car what is going on did not function at all. That simple part of the ride really affects the quality of the ride. In addition many of the special effects were not working throughout the ride. I rode Indy 4 times with my wife hoping it would work properly but that wish was never fulfilled. Unfortunately it was my wife’s first trip to DL and she could not see why I liked Indy so much. I tried to explain how it was such a great ride when it was operating correctly but I guess it is something that must be experienced first hand to be appreciated.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer No, DOSH (not Cal-OSHA, that is work related stuff, and is a department of DOSH) takes over when there is an injury. Other than that, they do have to sign off on a new ride, and in a yearly inspection. But DOSH has no rights to step in if there is no injury to a guest. FYI, Indy was down all day today, also Tarzan's Treehouse was also closed.
Originally Posted By dl1956 So, along with the lack of any publicity that one might expect were guests involved, this would seem to imply that if something did happen, it was not during normal operations?

Originally Posted By minigirl1156 Does anyone know if this has been corrected?? We're gonna be there in 12 days and I have been totally hyping this ride up to my newbie friend!
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x Indy was down for us this last weekend, too, and my sister and DD were both disappointed. And Splash was down for a few minutes, too, yesterday. I was in the single rider line, and they unloaded all the logs, and we waited about 5-10 minutes. Finally we got on and it seemed ok. The CMs couldn't tell us what happened.
Originally Posted By avromark <<What does "jumed the bus bar" mean?>> This is just a guess, but probably the mechanism that keeps the Transports on the track? <<also Tarzan's Treehouse was also closed.>> Could this be staffing issues by any chance? Not enough employees so shutter an attraction/restaurant/shop?
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 As far as I could tell, Indy was closed until med-afternoon yesterday. Then around 4:00 we walked by the board of wait-times and the wait stated 40 minutes. So I think it must have just opened.
