Yes, the ride is working again! By 11pm, I finally got to ride the Indiana Jones Adventure and best of all, the wait was no longer than 15mins, woohoo!!!
Before heading back to my hotel, my last ride was the Lilly Belle Train. However, the train broke down and stopped at New Orleans Square. Therefore, I decided to walk back and ventured through Adventureland and was able to take in a 9:45pm show at Walt's Enchanted Tiki Room. Afterwards, I walked past Indiana Jones Adventure and saw some patrons running in. I asked Indiana Jones Cast Members if the ride was working and they nodded yes, score!!!
Located in Adventureland right next to the Jungle Cruise.
If the ride was operating in the day, the wait would have been anywhere from 40 mins to 1 hour (or more) unless you beeline it here directly after rope drop. My first ride of the day would have been this one, but it was currently closed. Fast forward to 11pm, I got to ride it, woohoo!!! I love Indiana Jones movies, especially, the Temple of Doom one, such a classic and Actor Harrison Ford was such a babe (he still is), lol! However, for this ride, you'll be going through the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. I recall going on this ride as a child and it was my favorite!
You'll board the troop transport and buckle in your seatbelt quickly. This ride seats 12 people (3 rows, four to a seat). I got to sit in the driver seat, yes! Bummer, the steering wheel is screwed on tight, lol! The ride itself is full of windy roads, twists, bumps here and there, but no huge drops. You can either wear your Minnie Mouse ears or take it off (I did the latter). You'll encounter Mara (the idol) and if you look into its eyes, "Your path now leads to the Gates of Doom!" You'll then go through the Tunnel of Torment, The Gate, Overlook, Mummy Chamber, Bug Room, The Pit, Snake Temple, Mud Slide, Skull, Rat Cave and Dart Room. Lastly, seeing and escaping the giant Rolling Boulder and seeing the exhausted looking, animatronic Dr. Indiana Jones looking up at the patrons saying, "Next time, you're on your own," before returning back to the station.
Loooooove this ride as a child and now, still looooooving it as an adult! The only thing that sucks about leaving this ride is the exit area - such a long walk outta there (as well as getting to the ride inside). Nonetheless, I still dig it and looking forward to riding it again whenever I'm back!
