In March of 1995, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye opened at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Since then, the attraction has gone from revolutionary in its use of technology and effects to a legacy attraction—the successes of which have been used and re-used in a whole new generation of theme park rides and attractions. In this episode, we dive into the history of the ride’s development—how Lucasfilm and Disney began their in-park collaborations, early concepts for the attraction and its place in Adventureland, its unique design elements, and its unique place as a melding between the analog and digital ages of Theme Park Attractions.
