The speaker is actually in front of the animatronic but a few feet ahead and in the ceiling. The real mystery is what brand the shoes are. In 2011 they got rid of these and replaced them with generic looking hiking books that really do not fit the timeline of the ride and the style of shoe Indy wears.

Instead, the figure was modeled on actor Vaughn Armstrong, best known for his work on the Star Trek franchise. At a party/reunion of our LACC Theatre Academy, Vaughn told me he was later replaced with the current figure - one modeled on Ford's performance.<br /><br />https://moviefit.me/persons/8684-vaughn-armstrongDreemfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604572363076670321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-34464259262659136472021-08-18T13:53:35.106-07:002021-08-18T13:53:35.106-07:00Dave, this is a fun discovery!

(Perhaps the focus was on his special shoes with 'speaker heels').

I always wondered why ( as you pass under Jones ) you could hear sound coming from him, not just audio in the ride vehicle. I assumed his speakers were in the walls around him but no, those heels just have to be speaker openings. That face puts the Ellen DeGeneres animatronic ( previously regarded as the least resemblance to the source person ) to shame. That face doesn't even look like it's the same heritage.
