Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye is a dark ride attraction at Disneyland. It opened on March 3, 1995. Based on the Indiana Jones films, guests are taken on an adventure in modified military transport vehicles through an ancient Indian Temple with Indiana Jones. It was formerly sponsored by AT&T, where cards to translate symbols (Mara-glyphics) on the walls were handed out.

This ride has an intricately detailed queue taking explorers through much of the temple.

A nearly identical ride entitled Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull is located at Tokyo DisneySea theme park in Tokyo, but takes you through a South American Temple with minor changes to the ride.

This ride is extremely well themed. However, it is known to breakdown often, very often in fact. The lines are also known to be brutally long so I would suggest fastpassing it at all costs. The line is also themed well though even if you have to wait. It is definitely a ride you can go on more than once and see something new every time. - Andy B

Always a fun ride full of thrills and detail. - Anthony Murphy

An amazing experience! Disney covered every last detail on this ride; everything from the campsite outside to the queue themeing on the inside, just flat out amazing! There is always something to look at in the queue. I highly recommend getting a fastpass early in the day for this ride. - Thomas Furlong

The best Disney has to offer as far as dark rides go. Excellent theming both on the ride and in the queue. Its also one of the only rides at Disneyland that I will ride more than once per trip. 10/10 - Will Chilcote

I am an Indiana Jones fan, except for that last part of the last movie. The cart, shaped like a jeep going on a desert journey, takes passengers through the Indy's journey as he escapes the giant boulder, snakes, rickety bridges, and perils of his world. I like this ride even if it is not as fast as Revenge of the Mummy at USH. The only part of the ride I hate is the very long lines, unless you get the Fast Pass to come by at a later time. Otherwise, bring your mp3 player or a book if you plan to be there for a while. - D.S. Francisco

Indy is once again here to save the day! i love this thrill ride and it totally rocks!! You travel in shabby jeeps in a newly-found Temple of the Forbidden Eye in the deep jungle of either Asia or Afrcia. You dodge boulders, ride across risky suspension bridges, and escape doom! It's way jerky, and scary for the little ones, but you cannot pass it up! It's a long wait, so make sure to get a FastPass. - Aly W

Great attraction, one of Disney's best. The line could get very long. Went on it twice during the last month and the line was long( yes I did used a Fast Pass) and it broke down both times. - Erik Avila
