About Indiana Jones Adventure

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. -- Last edited by Brandon Mendoza

My absolute Favorite attraction of all time. I love every bit of it. I spent my entire senior year of highschool writing an essay on it and it was facinating. My only wish is that they would bring a version over to WDW. - Nathaniel Gillespie

One of the best attractions in Disneyland. Very unique and enjoyable. Not too thrilling, but not boring. Plus, the Indy theming adds a great storyline. - Adam Nodjomian

The hydrolix on this ride are amazing, the setting is great, and overall its just super fun! - Kathryn Bonner

I wouldn't go as far as Mr. Stone to call it the "best in the world", but I do find Indiana Jones to be the greatest ride in Disneyland. I never miss it. If only there were a way to shake Harrison Ford's hand or something while waiting... I'm sure Disney can work something out with him. - JL Salaz

What can I say? It's got thrills, some of the best theming ever, pyro blasts, what more do you want? Best ride in Adventureland, and one of the best on Earth. - T.S. Stone

amazing!! I can not believe how they did it. I honestly thought twice about the reality of Harrison Ford being there against the wall with a rope. - Brett K

The absolute best Disney ride in the world. Everything from the moment you walk in the queue to the final climactic moment with the rolling boulder is great. The detail inside the waiting area is an attraction by itself and the ride is a powerhouse. The Indiana Jones films are some of my favorite movies and this ride does justice to the movies. The ride is awesome and is the main reason to come to Disneyland. Indiana Jones is an absolute do not miss attraction for anybody that passes the Disneyland gates. The ride remains very popular and is flooded once disneyland opens. Since the lines for the Nemo submarine voyage diminish at night, Indiana Jones should once again be the first ride people should experience first when entering the park. I suggest riding this first in the morning and/or gettting a fastpass. Wait times on busy days can get really long. 50+ minute wait are not uncommon during peak seasons. Whatever you do, don't miss this on your next trip to Disneyland. - Manny Barron

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

This ride can have some looong lines! But it's worth it to wait [or just get a fast pass]. This is an awesome ride though, and lots of fun!! - Chloe !

The ride is fun for pre-teens and up. I went on with my younger sister who is seven and she did not like it at all. It's also a very bunpy ride so if you don't want to be thrown around and jerked this way and that I wouldn't recommend it. But overall it's actually a very fun ride. The lines are long so I would recommend going in the single-rider line because it gets you on in about 20 min vs. an hour. - Alexz Krysstensin

This ride has top notch theming from the moment you enter the queue till the time in which you exit your Jeep and a ride that, especially for a Disney park is packed with thrills and chills. It's a must do for any Disneyland excursion, no matter the wait time. - Jacob Sundstrom

This is a good ride, but it was really bumpy, unnecessarily bumpy. Otherwise, the effects were amazing as was the setting, and even the queue. thumbs up! - Patrick Gorham
