(Okay, so I'm a little slow sometimes.) Next time it came on, I paid closer attention and, no, they don't mention Indy. Somehow I could have sworn they did, but they don't. Anybody else find this ad confusing? Misleading? ----- *It may not be a ride. Maybe it's a show, or a whole new park. I can't tell from the ad.

It's some guy in a fedora and leather jacket searching through a dusty Egyptian tomb who "just happens" to look like Indy.

In Legoland Windsor we have the Johnny Thunder (he's australian) stunt show, but we also had an Indy day earlier this season to mark the release of the lego sets and the movie. I would really hope this new Sally Dark ride makes it to the European Legolands.

It's just an anonymous Indy-ish guy. I saw it again on TV last night (they're showing it so often on the local stations, it'd be hard to avoid), and I still think they're trying to imply they've got Indy without actually saying they do.
