1. Indiana Jones…

   Wow this is a fantastic ride, talk about gripping experience, my daughter and I went on this ride for the first time some years ago when we first started coming to Disney, and it went Backwards this was a shock but you just can’t see what’s going on, which can be bad to some points as you ain’t got a clue what is going on. But the year after we had the ride of our life on it… GOING FORWARDS, now that was fantastic.

   I suggest everyone should try it at least once, just for the thrill, the only fault I could pick once you got on it was over so fast but it didn’t stop me and my daughter traipsing back round again to try it out again.

2. When it was backwards, it was so much better, now, it’s good to ride at night, with the flames illuminating the ride.

3. This ride is very good. The onlookers view of the coaster makes it seem very scary, (IE. the drop where you are almost on your side). But in fact that is not the worst part. The ride gets far worse once you get past the loop as it is just a random roller coaster ride. You can never tell where you are going to go next. It is a great ride. 10 out of 10.

   Another great aspect of it is there is hardly ever a long queue. The longest it exceeded when i was there in April 2007 was 40 or 50 minutes but would normally only last about 5 or 10 minutes. The queue was so short one day I was actually able to go on and off it continuously for about a half an hour!!

   This ride is excellent and is Definitely a must ride!!

4. This is absolutely the best themed ride in the whole parks. So much details around, we were amazed. Even if you have to stay in line, you have a plenty to see around, a lot of details to enjoy.

   Ride itself, is very intense, but very short, unfortunately. Disney should consider option to manage somehow, two circle ride. I mean that ride should go twice the same route. This is very nice ride, we enjoyed twice in it, because there was not a line at all.

5. I love this ride! The best time to go on it is at night. The theming is very good, and it is not too long not too short. Also, the queue is never very long. The only problems I have with it are:

   1. the head-banging; if you are a certain height or build, your head bangs quite violently against the headrest. This would’nt be a problem if the headrests were soft and comfy, like the Rock n Roller Coaster, but they’re not, so it hurts. My advice is to wear a hat and pull up your coat hood when on this ride, so you don’t get a headache.

   2. It doesn’t go backwards anymore!!! I understand that a forward moving ride will attract more guests than a backwards one, but the park already has Space Mountain, the Rock n Roller coaster and even Big Thunder Mountain that go forwards.
   A backwards ride is definately more exciting. Even if they had it backwards every other year, I’d be happy….

6. A very fun ride. The queue; well, there wasn’t any when we went in the middle of the day. We didn’t think it was too rough… just too short!

7. Dressed up mad mouse coaster, only worth it with a fastpass or a 5 minute wait.

8. Very nice ride with a good themed waiting area. Nice view over the resort from the top. Unfortunately the ride is way too short…

9. A nice little “filler” ride.
   The queue is usually non existent, no need to get a fastpass.
   The ride itself is rough, the roughest in the park. Not one for those who don’t want to be shaken about.
   Not much themeing, but there is a great view over the park from the top. The ride doesn’t last very long, about 1.40minutes. Shame!

   An average ride, was much better backwards!

10. My wife continues to remind me that she did this ride when it went backwards (Why not a pin “I did it backwards on Indiana Jones” or similar) but I did it forwards. It is bumpy and lumpy and I even banged my head on the front of the carriage as I was leaning forward when we went into the loop.

    Over far too quickly but it does give some interesting views at times. Could be better if there were some tunnels with special effects etc.

    Good for the thrill junky.

11. This ride originally went backwards but after disney realised that more people would go on the ride if it went forwards, disney then decided to make it go forwards again. Personally i don’t like this ride, yeah it’s quite cool the way its designed but it’s just SOOO bumpy you can feel your brain rattling around in your head as your head keeps hitting the head rests.

12. Love it love it love it, I’ll go on it 7 times in a row and still want more! But I wish it would go backwards again!

13. Went on this years ago when it went backwards! I didn’t know this until i got on and it started moving!! I was in for a shock!

    Went on recently and it went forwards, which was nowhere near as good as when it went backwards. Drops are very fast, also a loop. Much fun but quite hidden in the park itself.

14. If you want a really big buzz this is a must. But if you have a weak consitution, then think twice before going on this ride. It left me very queazy and not at all well.

    P.S. don’t forget your comb or hair brush for afterwards. :-i

15. This is a great unique attraction to Disneyland Resort Paris. The themeing as you walk through the queue and even when you’re on the ride. Best time to ride at night as queues go down and the lighting effects look great !

16. The theming is marvellous, and the ride is thrilling, with numerous peaks and troughs, making it very fun to ride. While it may have been the first disney coaster with a loop, it is still more than capable of enteraining and terrifying even hardened coaster enthusiasts.

    That said, the coaster is seriously overshadowed by all of the other coasters in the park, and seems far too small to warrent such a large area of Adventure land that is dedicated to it. The coaster has clearly been a victim of the park’s teething troubles and when compared to the imagineers’ original plans for the area, you can’t help but feel disappointed.

    Another probem i have with this ride, is that it is seriously panful to ride; the fast paced, tight cornered track design, and the unforgiving head rests mean that after riding the ride once, you either suffer from a severe headache, putting you off riding it ever again, or spend the subsequent rides trying to find ways to brace yourself to avoid smashing your head on something. This is a shame, as without the pain element, it would be great.

17. Great ride. Definitely not on caliber with the on in Anaheim, but a fun coaster! For first time coaster goers this one is far less intense than Space,Rockin or even Crush. Fun for most children, teenagers and adults. The theming is great but really wished that the ride was a bit longer.

18. Indiana Jones is a nicely themed roller coaster, every time I went to Disney this was one of my favorite attractions. The ride is a bit rough but that’s a plus for me, I don’t want a smooth India coaster. I think the roughness and noise are an essential part of the ‘Indiana feeling’.

19. This roller coaster attraction was shoehorned into Disneyland Parc to provide some thrills and it shows. Although the temple looks impressive, you never actually go inside. Instead, the big clunky mine cars just skirt around the outside of the temple. The roller coaster itself is fairly thrilling, especially as it now runs forwards (for a while the cars were turned backwards.) It’s not to rough although the constant twisting and turning towards the end may nauseate some guests. The Indiana Jones theme is minimal, Indy himself makes no appearance in the attraction.

    This attraction never attracts much of a line, perhaps due to its out of the way location or because it looks to intense for most guests. I wouldn’t wait longer than 20 minutes for a ride - if the line is long, try picking up a FASTPASS.

    As a roller coaster this attraction is moderately intense. It does feature a small and fast loop, and a few sharp drops. You can’t really see most of the ride until you’re on it, so you may want to ride first before letting more nervous kids ride.

20. Tucked away in the corner of Adventureland is one of my favourite rides in DLRP. The theming, especially thorughout the queue is really interesting and makes you feel like you’re actually taking a trip to a jungle temple! The ride itself is also really good, with the traditional uphill climb followed by drops and sharp turns, culminating in a loop in front of the queue full of excited explorers! This isn’t one of the smoothest roller coasters and can be a tad shakey especially through the loop, but hold on tight and you’ll be fine! This is one of my favourite coasters in the parks and definately a good way to experience your first inversion!
