Adventureland is home of one of Disney's best
attractions in recent years. The Indiana Jones Adventure(Indy for
short) encompass almost all that is good in a Disney themepark attraction
and what sets it miles ahead of other parks. The first thing you
will notice about Indy is the queue (Disneyspeek for line). If there
is absolutely no line at all it will take you almost 5 minutes just
to walk from the entrance point to the vehicles. This is because
the building is actually "outside the berm", meaning that it is
outside the original Disney boundary of the Disneyland RR. The other
great thing about Indy is the story. From the moment you enter the
queue you have entered the story and are transported to the time
and environment of the Indiana Jones Adventures. In addition to
this incredible themeing Disney has added one of its most sophisticated
ride systems to date (they use the same system for Dinosaur at the
Animal Kingdom in WDW). Disney describes the ride as a high speed
off road adventure. There description is not that far off either.
For a first time visitor it is a really wild ride. Note: the mistake
most riders make is they tense up on the ride (yeah I know this
is easy to say than do), but you have to relax and "go with the
flow". Also I want to let all you non-thrill ride people that this
is a very good attraction, and if you are free from health problems
and meet the height requirement you should give it a try (The geek
will not ride roller coasters of any size or shape, not even the
Go-Coaster in Toontown, but he loves Indy). Indy now has FastPass
which makes the line seem a little longer for Standby visitors.
Also located in adventureland are several classic
Disney attractions that you do not want to miss (the Jungle Cruise
and the Enchanted Tiki Room).
