Thanks for posting this footage! It's always great to see old stuff circulate up to the surface. Bizarre to think this was 25 years ago, and yet I can't think of another ride that has aged so well. Thanks again!
Alec Parker Seems like just yesterday, I can remember all the details of trying to lug my camera through the queue line…. ride is classic. I still have my decoder cards they would hand out so we could decipher the writing on the walls.
Wow. This ride opened the year I was born and I rode it for the first time as an 8 year old in 2003. From what I’ve seen on TH-cam, it hasn’t really changed much.
@@KeenaKindragon I always scare people who don't pull it. I say "Hey, don't forget to pull the bamboo! *everyone stares at me all dumb and they keep walking. Of course I pull it and they all jolt* I told you to pull it folks. Same with the rope too.
@@KeenaKindragon thanks! I have a new lens for the camera so when Disney reopens I'm gonna test it out. And yes the rope still works, however, people keep breaking the rope :( Like, badly. They break the material.
This Video Proves how rough Indiana Jones Ride at Disneyland was if people read the darn warning signs if you have medical conditions you hold yourself reliable for triggering your health conditions not Disney. Disney return the ride to what I have remember very rough people need to hold accountable of there own actions. If you have a health condition in which it may get worse or trigger after riding any attraction don't ride then shut up don't sue Disney read the dang signs before boarding.
eh... it's more understandable here than most rides. You used to come out with genuine bruises and feel like you survived a boxing ring. It's interesting because nowadays they wouldn't have to kill you to the get same results and probably could just engage haptics or something.
In the early 2000’s it was still pretty rough. I remember going in 2009 & the ride seemed to be the same as it always was. The next year though is when there was a noticeable change. This was my favorite ride at Disneyland & I absolutely can’t stand that it’s been changed.
Wow I can’t I’m seeing old footage from Indiana Jones when it first opened while I was still in my moms tummy while she was pregnant 🤰 with me . I’ve ridden Indy so many times as a kid
It's funny how things back then seemed outrageous to only compare them to today and realize it wasn't so bad. 30 min wait for a new attraction was mind-blowing back then, to only wish the wait time today was only 30 min.....lol.
This is great footage, thank you for this. One thing you can hear clearly in the ride footage is the waterfalls that used to be in the lava room when it was real water. The entire place used to smell like mildew!
I was born in 1995, but in August several months after the opening of this attraction! Then I got to ride it for the first time in 2003 during our family's first trip to Disneyland!
So awesome to see all the effects functioning! The LCU is right on time, the mist is abundant, and the falling ice “rocks” are working properly! Hearing the guests in the car discussing the steering wheel on the ride vehicle is interesting though? Did the steering wheel used to not spin? I haven’t seen discussions on that topic. Such a cool video though!
Thanks!! When they first put it in, they didn’t have what became more like a real steering wheel. It was just like a placeholder until they could get the real ones in… so much fun to go on it back in those old days, tracking what was broken, the mistakes that were made, but there was so much then slowly bits and pieces just stopped all together.
Cool thanks for posting :)...1996 was the first time i ever rode this.cant wait to ride it again!remember how long these lines used to be?thank god for fastpass lol :)
It's so true! The lines were insane! I wonder what it will be like when they re-open. But I can tell you this, watching the video again makes me want to go back more than ever!! I probably would wait 3 hours all over again.
@@KeenaKindragon i know right the at least a hour line..i miss all my old videos from disneyland lol.it always lived up to its name "the happiest place on earth" for me like it used to be better than christmas going there every year:).i am hoping it reopens soon...i keep hearing there open then there not and it sucks.anyways thanks once again for that awsome video:)
I have 2 different takeaways from this: 1. The price of admission at this time was $25, now it's like $150. 2.This ride marked the beginning of the end - for the old FLAT Disneyland parking lot. The park had to expand in order to accommodate this ride. By about 2003 or 2004 the parking structures were everywhere. GREAT RIDE.

Awesome footage!! Also cool to see the falling ceiling effect.
It was so cool when it worked back in the day... we'd ride it over and over just to "pull the pole" and watch the ceiling drop!

This is rare to see the ice cube effect!
Oh yeah, that’s right, I remember they used to do that…
I always loved the old way the ride functioned and still remember this version when I think of this ride. My childhood favorite ride of all time.
Yes!!! The old ice cube effect!!!

The signs are there for a reason! 😅
Oh yea this thing used to be very aggressive. It's too bad they changed it.
i was a kid when i rode it back in the 90s... damn it was scary LOL

So true!
I remember wait times for Indiana Jones was around 3 to 4 hours in 1995, the line started on Main Street on busy days!
This is great footage, thank you for this. One thing you can hear clearly in the ride footage is the waterfalls that used to be in the lava room when it was real water. The entire place used to smell like mildew!
You’re right! I remember…
Oh wow I thought I just imagined that when I was little! lol I wish there was a way to have those effects return.
I was born in 1995, but in August several months after the opening of this attraction! Then I got to ride it for the first time in 2003 during our family's first trip to Disneyland!
No way!! I literally just said the same thing!! I was also born in 95 and rode it for the first time in 03 🤣
@@Nikolaos0603 For me, it was some time in May, because May was just about the right time to go to Disneyland, my parents say.

Good to know I’m not the only one that knows about the LCU issues!

It’s true, this was the beginning of a lot of changes, that’s for sure. The price has gone insane, everyone just has an annual pass now.
Unfortunately, there are so many things different today on this ride. It's very sad. They should fix the effects and take it back to how it was.
So true!
