Indiana Jones Adventure!



As I continue to update my site, I discover that my Indiana Jones Adventure shots have also not been updated in almost 2 years! Here is a collection of photos I have taken in the last two years, put together in (of course!) chronological order. Enjoy your thrilling adventure through one of my favorite Disneyland attractions! And according to the Disney publicity machine, the vehicle you see in the first image here was used in the actual film.



When was the last time you saw this view...without guests?







Most people are in such a hurry to get to the attraction that they miss all of these fantastic items throughout the queue. Not me...I typically take my time. Guests behind me be damned!







A view of the Rotunda ceiling:



zooming in for a better look at the mural:



Here's a detail that (again) most people don't take the time to notice:



The Eye on the Globe projector:



This pre-attraction preview film is a classic. Although if the lines are long, the voice of Sallah can get very old!



Finally, a decent shot of this tablet! One day I hope to get a clear shot of the other two!



The office of Indiana Jones:



A few detailed views of his desk:







A shot from the vehicle as the journey to the Chamber of Destiny begins:







The shimmering light effects that had been recently added at the time this shot was taken:



Looks like my vehicle chose the Chamber of Earthly Riches. Still waiting for that lottery payout!



Eyes closed...



and then the oops moment when they open because yes...you have stared into the Eyes of Mara!



He doesn't look happy.



And then the face begins to crumble, courtesy of the recently added digital effects:



Love that green light from the eye of the gigantic skull!



Finally! A good shot of The Bug Room!



Another favorite scene. I still duck from the darts every time the vehicle whizzes past them.



Indy before the boulder...



And after:

Trip Report: Tinker Bell Half Marathon 2013 Pt. 2



After the Haunted Mansion, I hopped aboard The Columbia and immediately went below deck. It had been five years since my last visit below, and figured it was time to look at all of the rich details and set pieces on display.













I surfaced just in time to catch my favorite Native American, giving a friendly wave as we sailed by him.



My fast pass for Indiana Jones Adventure was now ready to be used; I hadn't been on this attraction since its refurbishment last fall, and was anxious to see if all the positive reviews were true. I have always enjoyed the queue, and actually regret having to rush through it.



The series of "Eye On The Globe" shorts was a fantastic idea; another treat that really makes the time waiting seem much shorter.



Like the Energizer Bunny, the film projector keeps playing...and playing...and playing.



One of these days I need to decode these tablets!



What I wouldn't give to rummage around in this office:



The attraction itself was great; the lighting has been improved, and all of the effects were working. A real nice change!



Uh oh...somebody looked into Mara's eyes.



Fortunately, Indy was able to assist.



Like Indiana Jones, I too hate snakes (but that didn't keep me from taking a photo).



The Cavern of Bubbling Death is probably one of the most impressive sets within a Disneyland attraction.



I can almost feel the air darts now (phweet! phweet! phweet!), as I narrowly duck in time to miss them.



All good things must come to an end, including this attraction. All too quickly, our vehicle was at the end and Indiana was bidding us adieu. Well, maybe not exactly "adieu," but something along those lines.



I had just enough time to make it back to the Golden Horseshoe Saloon to see the Limited Time Magic show (previously covered here). There was a gunfight going on at the saloon up above:



Before it started, I fired off a few shots of Harper Goff's creation.









The shoe itself:



Sure wish I knew some background info about this painting:



Next up—DCA! Here's a little FauxD© enticement to get you to come back tomorrow:
