Disney has shared all-new details on the new Indiana Jones attraction coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World in 2027, with construction beginning this year.

The ride will feature an all-new story, unlike any other Indy attraction at other Disney parks. In this new venture, the man with the hat has recently discovered a perfectly preserved Maya temple, and that can only mean one thing: it's time to explore it. He's heard rumors about a mythical creature deep within the temple — and he's got to see it for himself. So, he brings us along on the adventure…

The new Tropical Americas land where Indiana Jones will be located replaces the entire Dino-Land U.S.A. area, with Indiana Jones replacing the existing Dinosaur ride, and a new Encanto attraction replacing Dino-Rama. A closing date for Dino-Land U.S.A. has not yet been announced.

New experiences inspired by Encanto and the fan-favorite adventurer Indiana Jones are coming to the reimagined land at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Hmm maybe the billboard just works better in person when you’re looking at it from a distance. I do think the GMR figure looked way better than the DL one

Many people enjoy dinosaur. I’m of the opinion it could just be updated and modernized and the theme kept. There’s no need to actually change the theme, the IP mandate is making it necessary. Dinosaurs themselves are always a popular theme. Just rode this morning and many children in the vehicle were having the time of their lives reciting “we’re not gonna make it” and also were immersed in the pre show. You don’t have to have IP to be successful, even if the ride is technically tied into a movie.

Nope. The billboard outside the stunt show...look again. It looks like Johnny Knoxville. A joke I stated durring my CP many moons ago.

I feel like people want to remember what they want. When Dinosaur was countdown to extinction it was called a poor man’s Indiana jones/. Then it went to dinosaur and then people said it was slow, boring, and had a lot of dead space. Today people are crying about Dinosaur and calling it a Disney classic. Lololol. You can’t make this stuff up. About a month ago all the crazy fanatics were trying to make the case that the loss of triceratop spin and the mouse coaster was a huge loss. I honestly think people like to be negative here for the sake of it. It’s also the same hand full of crazies that repeat themselves over and over again. The sky is falling!!!

I feel like he’d be more willing to sign off this time considering he’s now officially getting some of their money

It's a spitting image of Ford 's stunt double.

Eh…. That’s never looked like Ford to me

Interesting… did he sign off his likeness for MGM? I feel like the AA in GMR looked more like him, and so does the billboard outside the stunt show

The reasoning did not before is he did not sign off his likeness and would not voice so we got this and sound alike. Has this changed?

Wrinkles and all?

I’m actually excited to get an animatronic that looks like ford this time

Well currently there are four Indiana Jones animatronics in the Disneyland ride. If the new attraction is anything like that we can expect around the same number, but with improved designs and movements that surpass the animatronics from the '90s

There will be other figures but I can’t speak to the quality of them. Most of the figures in DL’s ride aren’t particularly impressive. I do wonder if there will be reanimated skeletons/zombies. There probably should be (in an ancient temple) but that doesn’t really make sense in DAK…

Bold of you to assume that there will be animatronics. I mean, I'm sure there'll be at least one Indiana Jones A100 animatronic that does nothing but stand there and flail his arms, but aside from that? Who knows?
