I also know they'ved slowed the ride to make it smoother, and it really seems to focus on the hydrolics now, that might be just me as well. But Wasn't this ride really spruced up for the 50th/ and the Mummy's revenge opening? Help me out a bit

For some reason, they don't put enough smoke in there to see the entire effect properly. I didn't notice a smoother ride..it felt the same to me.

Originally Posted By dresswhites haven't noticed anything different. i like Indy, but to me it not the greatest of the disneyland attractions. I like Splash Mountain and Soaring much more than Indy.
Originally Posted By Anacon I rode it last night and noticed that a lot of effects were not working. Not since it's opening has everything been working.

Indy is one of my faves.

Originally Posted By myeticket thats ok, dr jones... I like the screen name, it just reminds me of the movie.. Its one of my favorite rides too! Horse Crazy..if you were my buddy, I'd make sure you'd go every year! I just took my brother for his birthday last weekend! He got the call from Goofy and the little "its my birthday" sticker..
Originally Posted By Sweeper I miss the dropping lava at the beginning. Red light on ice falling from the roof was cool to me. I love Indy but I have always felt there are cheap sections. Huge black, empty rooms and those painted statues shooting spears. Dayglow paint? But I'll take it since the ride is fantastic overall. Just too bad some elements were never finished in the same high quality way.
Originally Posted By BlkPearlCptn Dr Jones, that story about Indy losing his hat is great! Reminds me of two other times that Professor Jones had "issues."

LOL The other time was getting stuck under him hanging on the rope, when he another hydraulic leak in the ...um.."groin" area. You never saw a group of people try to dodge Indy leakage so fast in your life. The front of his trousers became absolutely soaked. ROFL...Poor guy, rough day(s) And yes, it's also one of my favorite rides!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I always thought that the rope Indy was pneumatic, so there woudn't be any chance of a leak on the geusts. I geuss not...
Originally Posted By ryanbalas I miss the cards that were passed out the first year. You could decipher the symbols on the walls as you walked the queue. If I remember correctly, the ride cost 130 million to build and if working properly, you could ride it 27 times and see something new everytime (the first three -obviously- is the choice of three rooms at the beginning). Our goal has always been to spot those new items. Love the ride but, have more fun teasing the guests on the Jungle Cruise as they pass by.

We all assumed that it WAS hydraulic fluid leaking from his frontal groin area. Now if it wasn't... (grimace) I don't even want to go there!!!!!! ( I need to find my "Happy Place" and scrub that vision of Indy from my brain)

On the whole, ever since the 50th started Indy has seemed top notch. There is always room for improvement in a ride (and welcome) but I'd say Indy is doing just fine.
