The IndyCast episode 84 (from October 2009) reports that the original animatronic Indy at the Gates of Doom has been replaced with a new animatronic figure, which is "much more alive, with more emotion." And, indeed, if you google for Indy animatronic, you'll find video on YouTube comparing the new and the old, as well as lots of board discussion.
Should post-opening ride development be included? I would think that it would. 75.34.225.21 ( talk) 07:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
This article needs to be thoroughly tweaked. Too much blurb-like language.
What is so bad about the tone in this article? I don't agree one bit. It sounds perfect to me. You need to watch Indiana Jones movies more if you don't like the weasel words. This article sounds exciting. You do want to read it!!! Dinofunsaur 05:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm working at clarifying it. Disneywizard ( talk) 19:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC). Clarification complete Disneywizard ( talk) 23:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
The quotes the animatronic Indiana Jones makes are not absolute; they are just one of several that Indiana might make (each ride is supposed to be a pretty much unique adventure with different quotes or bumps). Another examine of this is when John Rhys Davis notes there is a little trouble with the brakes (or transmission, etc.).
I am clarifying by generalising what the character is talking about, and including one quote that follows the phrase "might say somthing such as this: " Perhaps a bulleted list detailing each quote belongs in the Indiana Jones Adventure (expose) article, to preserve discovery. Disneywizard ( talk) 19:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Also the violin music noted is actually from John William's soundtrack to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and was used in the mine cart sequence. -- Jclinard 06:28, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Specific music references have been incorporated at the end of each segment. Disneywizard ( talk) 19:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Please allow only these four Hidden Mickeys here in the main article - Three verified and one contested. Any additional Hidden Mickeys you may wish to add belong in the Indiana Jones Adventure (expose) article.
Trivia does not belong below the main article. If it is important to the guest experience then include it using sentences in the appropriate paragraph.
Trivia is also welcomed in the Indiana Jones Adventure (expose)#Trivia article. Disneywizard ( talk) 23:28, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
I added the bit about the queue in the Trivia section. Feel free to delete if you want, it just didn't sound up to Encylopedia standards, although I do think it has some merit. - 24.7.78.69 05:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Occasionally the bamboo support will be removed due to a tourist breaking it. I repaired the entry.-- johnnycgir
I added an attraction infobox. Disneyfile 18:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I added the Japanese version in the Attraction information box. I am not sure, if most of the the facts are correct. Could someone please edited and add accurate facts of the attraction. -- SilverWerewolf 9:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
The Disneyland Resort (Anaheim) Indiana Jones Adventure: - Forbidden Eye and the Indiana Jones Adventure (Tokyo):Temple of the Crystal Skull are two seperate and distinct attractions - and should not be detailed on the same page. This page is for the Anaheim adventure.
I actually know (of) the person involved in the ride attempt added recently. But it's not encyclopedic material unless verified by a attributable source. Sorry guys. -- Monotonehell 10:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
The animation in the article seems to indicate that the boulder doesn't move. By watching this news clip [1], clearly the boulder moves and the walls only move to fake backing up, not moving along with the car as indicated in the animation. This section needs to be fixed. 76.174.57.131 00:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Having stood at the supports for the rolling boulder, I can attest first hand that the boulder is fixed in place and only rolls. The illusion is supported by the car slowly moving forward while Indy, the rope he is hanging on, and the entire room moves away from the viewer, at the speed of the boulder approach, giving the appearance of the boulder moving forward as the troop transport "backs up". One can verify this by looking at the floor durring this scene, as well as by the "epiphany shot," from cinema, of zooming out while trucking in. To see the epiphany shot, simply turn around and look backward as this scene activates. The boulder is static and stationary as it rotates and provides plenty of clearance as the car elevates the load and the carriage decends on it's slow approach, keeping tall guests outstreched arms well outside a buffer zone.
There are at least two tracks, I'm not sure about a third one, but I have been on two tracks, one is less bumpy that the other. Oh sry, this is the Disneyland version. DLWDWFreek ( talk) 19:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
To the best of my knowledge there is only one track; the variations in ride intensity are programmed into the vehicle itself, which does most of the bumping and moving via a mobile platform, as seen in the blueprints in this article. - Zarm, 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zarm Rkeeg ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Aside from the maintenance bay and left/right loading/disembark station, guests experience the only existent track on their adventure. The attraction is fifteen years of age and showing it. Periodic closures for refurbishment are to be expected. No major re-theming has ever been scheduled.
Disneywizard ( talk) 19:44, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
park ride opening - Although the ride officially opened on March 3rd, 1995, it was opened to a limited number of guests on march 2nd!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.110.126 ( talk) 05:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Soft Opening - To test loading and to train the crew, several "Rope Drops" occured in February 1995, each from fifteen minutes to an hour. Marketing analysts were also present to observe reactions to the extreamly long queue and the onboard guest experience. March 2 was the Press Preview. March 1 was cast member preview night, each castmember was given a white folded "passport", it was stamped just before boarding, and only unstamped passport holders were allowed to board.
Opening Gala - Celebrities were invited to the Official Opening, a special ticketed event, otherwise closed to the public. The special ticket admitted one to receive a gift bag containing a "decoder lanyard" on which was printed the name of the guest and served as the event pass. Cameras were present to broadcast the March 3, 1995 opening event around the globe. Most of Adventureland was behind temporary construction walls.
Public opening - Indiana Jones Adventure, Temple of the Forbidden Eye was made available to the Disneyland park General Admission guests March 4, 1995. Disneywizard [primary reference, direct experience, having been involved in each event.] ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:28, 30 August 2009 (UTC). [also: please do remember - Disneyland has NO park rides, only Adventures, attractions, voyages, and cruises and flights.]
I actually think that the vehicle type listed at "World War II Troop Transport" is incorrect. If the ride is "set in the Lost Delta of India, circa 1935," then it would be impossible for it to be a World War II vehicle as the war, for what is widely known was '39-'45. I think it should be listed as a "military-like" transport. jgamboa —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Corrected to "Military Troop Transport" Disneywizard ( talk) 03:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
"the opening scene is quite different" to quote the offending author
They are, indeed, separate entities, and should not be combined into one entry. A new page entry should be created for Crystal Skull, comparisons removed, and a link to the new page added.
Two distinct entries have been made, one for each attraction.
Comparisons and contrasts have been removed from both essays, and links reference the similar pages. The new page needs alot of work.
Encyclopediacly yours, —(o=8> Disneywizard ( talk) 03:49, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
is it absolutely necessary to have subsections for every little bit of the ride? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.108.77.99 ( talk) 04:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Other articles reference the subsections. Disneywizard ( talk) 19:53, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Secrets and spoilers belong on the (expose) page. Descriptions of the guest experience belong on Forbidden Eye. The spoiler page was added to comply with WikiProject_Disney and WikiProject_Disneyland.
Much like what has happened on Talk:The Simpsons Ride I have had to re-word bits of info on this article and figure whether some parts are correct.
Where is it proven about the weight of the truck? I don't see a source for this anywhere.
-It is the model of the truck, designated by the load capacity. Referenced in SOP documentation and also in the binder at City Hall and the Wait-Times board kiosk at Plaza. Disneywizard ( talk) 22:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
don't know why the comma is between "from" and "Dr. Dunfir Pullit" but I removed this comma. -that was my error in cleaning up an edit -- but his name is Dunfur, not Dunfir, and pronounced "Done-for" Disneywizard ( talk) 22:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- italics are described in the Music section as the audio track. Disneywizard ( talk) 22:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
-another of my errors in cleaning up an edit. These were all corrected in later edits but instead of simply adding the (expose) to the bottom of the article, the (expose) was removed and the article reverted to the one with the errors. Disneywizard ( talk) 22:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
The rest of the article is fine. trainfan01 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 ( talk • contribs) 01:48, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
is it REALLY necessary to have a subsection for every little part of the ride that is experienced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.108.83.25 ( talk) 05:19, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello! So according to the user Doge456, the ride has 2 different scores, one of them not being correct with timing issues, missing sounds, and other things. This seems like something that would be covered by reliable sources however I'm not finding any but I'm not very good at searching from what I've discovered.
