Originally Posted By FerretAfros Indy has had many refurbs through the years. The last major one was in the months before the 50th, which I believe was about 5-6 months long. It's had shorter ones (1-2 months) about every 18-24 months since then. It sounds like this is going to be similar to the shorter ones, where the upgrades are more on the technical side, and likely won't be noticed by the average guest. If Indy ever goes down for a really BIG refurb, I hope that they can finally complete the ride. The room after passing under the bridge was originally designed to have a set and effects installed, but it was cut when the initial design and construction went overbudget. The stalling out and rats-on-a-mist-screen effect were thrown in as a lower cost replacement, but it would be neat to see it fully realized.

I think it was finally completed with this last, most recent closure. I have some old Disneyland Lines from when the project first started.
