Since it's been more than a decade now since Disney World's signature theme park last got a new thrill ride." Has anyone else heard of this rumor? From the reports I've read of both TDS's Raging Spirits and DLP's Indiana Jones Temple of Peril, I really hope that this is some wild speculation by Mr. Hill! And if indeed it is being planned, where could they put it? (Somehow, if it is planned, I see the Swiss Family Treehouse possibly on the endangered species list as that seems to be the only area in Adventureland where they could put it, and the loss of the treehouse would be a real shame indeed!)

Originally Posted By CMM1 Went on the Indy ride in Paris last year - without a doubt the worst ride I have ever been on in a Disney park. On a scale of 1 to 5: Theming: 1 (just a bunch of exposed track circling around a big cement temple-type building) Ride quality: 1 (drops are short and turns are fairly flat; loop is very small and tight; lots of banging around of the head on the over-the-shoulder restraints) This ride was simply not Disney "quality" and is something one would expect at the old Knott's or even some smaller park. Anybody involved at the management level of the Disney parks should consider this ride a complete black mark on their resume for placing such an attraction amongst the fine achievements in theming and design that Disney has become famous for over the years.
