It should be similar to what they did with the Eddie Murphy "Haunted Mansion" attraction they had when that movie was released.

I love GMR--although I admit it could stand some updating ( and not high speed wheee ride type updating) -- but look at Stitch and JII -- I don;t think I want to risk that

It was designed around some of the interior and exterior sceens with some snow to boot. So if you saw it in 2000 Labuda that was a couple of years anyway.

Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo I hear ya Smeeko about the Prydain series. My favorite books as a kid. I was almost heart broken when the series ended cause I liked the series so much. But back on topic... do you think this will be worth seeing, or will it just be assorted stuff from the movie? I mean, will it have some really good props or just like a broom that sat in a corner, or a pair of tights that an extra wore, in the background, in a deleted scene.

Indiana Jones is known more for his trap dodging temple adventures not for punching Arabs and Nazis...although watching a Nazi whooping is good American fun AND a big part of the movies. Anyway there are soooo many better options for space for a new MGM ride before GMR! And post 13 - I'm assuming it'll be like the other exhibits they display at MGM with all the main characters' wardrobes (no pun intended) and some of the more prominent props i.e. the actual Wardrobe, some sword a main character wields etc.
