I loved the first version of the Chamber of Destiny, with the 3 different doors!!!!

Gem

I was three years old and my sisters one year year old when this ride opened up and I think my sister and I were both very scared of it. We were a little bit. My sister was terrified of the haunted mansion ride.

My first trip tp Disneyland was in December of 95. I remember riding the ride when it was new. It remains a favorite of mine.

5:15 That falling rock effect is really ice cubes.

love this!

Wow and no camera phone too!!!

It fills me with warmth watching this ride when *everything* was in it, and hearing the amazement from the public folks experiencing it all for the very first time. Gives me this happy feeling

Kills me when they walk right past the interactive things in the queue (bamboo pole in the spike room... which was removed last we were there, May 5th, 2023... and the well rope) Lots of great memories having been lucky enough to grow up near Disneyland! Thanks for sharing this video.

That was a nice effort, thanks for trying. A bit dark in the ending, 1990's tech how it was...

FUCKING awful video.

Well, you can’t see a dang thing on this video.

Tires screeching too. but the cameraman... is fired. Dang. The first guy holding the camera did way better. We even missed the hall of 3 doors. Still. Saw the falling rubble just like I did! I knew I wasn't making it up. I felt there were dead ends in there a lot too but I guess it was just the one. Best ride ever.

Can't believe no one touched the "Do not touch" pole in the queue. I totally did on my first trip through opening week. The booming sound effect was so loud people screamed!!

It really tickled my heart to catch a glimpse of how fast Fluffy used to strike. Nowadays he just lurches forward like he needs to puke instead of actually striking like a real cobra.

That seems like an amazing family experience! P.S. my parents never took me to Disney and they always insulted me. I wish I could have a family as connected as you have! My husband left me 30 years ago 😢

This brings so many memories. I remember riding this with my mom in the 90s. It was her favorite ride(RIP Mom). I will say that the vechicle was more extreme when it rocked back then. They have toned it down now. Thanks for bringing back the nostaliga for all of us.

Back in November 2021 I went to Disneyland for the first time in several years for my birthday. And I went on the Indiana jones ride but was disappointed. I thought it was just an off-day where the ride would stop several times, the lava pool looked like it was drained, with no fog, the snake only opened its mouth. And I think the music wasn’t playing in the boulder scene. But turns out most of those are just the way the ride was at the time

Woah, I was only 1 year old when this video existed.

Yeah, Mara used to say "Infidel!". Who knew your recording would become the only evidence that there was rubble falling in the temple at the beginning. I remember it distinctly as I said at the time, "Stuff is falling from the ceiling!" Cool to see this again!

I went on this in the 90s and I remember it being LOUD AF

I almost forgot about the little fake turn into the treasure room right after Mara, I wonder how long that’s been gone? I adore this ride (even in its downtrodden state) and I have really high hopes for them to restore it to its original glory.

My favorite part is when you filmed that woman’s shirt the whole entire time in front of you…. Amazing rare footage 🙄

Yhis is the first time I've seen those doors close and I've been on that ride infinity times in my 29 years. Breaks my heart to know they neglected such an amazing ride so badly 😢 I hope with this refurb they take the time to fix everything. The interactive stuff in line, the ride itself, everything. They should be doing the same to Roger rabbit, especially since it's also closed because the toon town refurb. (But they probably won't, idk why disney hates Roger rabbit so much, it's a wonderful ip)

The pre show is SO much shorter now. I miss the longer version.

Is it true that is was bumpier back then?

Imagine if the new refurbishment restored the ride to it's 100% fully functional Glory (with some new additions to the ride and little tweaks to the story) then we would have another big great Adventure ounce again in The Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

Wow, crazy how different this was back then. I wonder how it would be on the ride if it was still bumpier/rougher

I was just one month old that year the ride opened. When I was little I remember being so scared of this ride . But now that I’m older and after watching the movies I love Indiana Jones

1995年！？俺まだ生まれてねぇや

Very important footage this man unknowingly recorded

Just rode a week ago, looks the exact same. I love these kind of videos, looking at parks back in day 👍🏽

Thank you for this footage. I love being able to compare all the major and minor differences from over the years, such as Sallah's first safety spiel, the different special effects not in play today, and the different audio cues on the ride that you rarely hear today like "Watch out for anything that slithers." Also the underground root section of the ride that the jeep always stops at today, but you used to go past most times.

Hey! This was filmed on my birthday! I mean 5 years before I was born. But still

It's really sort of shocking how many effects/story cues have been switched off... there is, of course, the water/ice effect, but there's also the old effect of getting the different door every time, the music cue in the Hall of Promise, the gates of doom shutting and explaining why your transport falls to the floor, the lack of stopping in the middle of the dark scene, and all sorts of different fog effects that are extremely rare to see working frequently now.

Fun Fact of the Day: this ride has Darth Vader and Han Solo’s voice from Star Wars.

Camera man at times, sounds like Indy.

This and Jurassic Park were both great rides

Sounded like you had a blast :)

Randomly found this 24 years to the day it was filmed! Just rode it yesterday @ Disneyland! Still a crowd favorite, even without the falling ice effect!

Don't step on the diamond staped shones.

I believe the cast member near the beginning of the line (near the beginning of the video) is passing out a card that "decoded" the hieroglyphs so you could read them on the walls while standing in line. The ride was sponsored by AT&T when it opened so the cards had the AT&T logo on them. There was also an AT&T sign on the way out that read "Choose Wisely". It is an absolute treasure to see watch these videos back from 1995. I was only 7 at the time but I can remember first going on this ride in its opening year. Although there are a few differences like the famed ice machine effect that are no longer in existence (even the screeching tires on the audio are gone now) - it's still largely the same exact ride for almost 25 years now.

I am absolutely a beginner. I am trying to find 2 distinct numbers at the same time. I want just these two records to be found. How do I search for just 2 numbers that are NOT in succession?

I noticed another lost effect! 4:54. Keep your eye on the door Indy is guarding. At one point it slams shut. I don't remember ever seeing that before.

That song at the beginning is in Fallout New Vegas!

6:00 🐍

OMG this is so amazing. You can clearly see the crumbling rock effect!!!!! So excited!!

5:15, the falling rubble effect!

Richard, I have been struggling with this for such a long time and nothing was as clear as your example! I finally managed to perform a date range find! THANK YOU!
