The Indiana Jones Adventure is an enhanced motion vehicle dark ride attraction based on the ''Indiana Jones'' film series. Guests accompany intrepid archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones on a turbulent quest, aboard military troop transport vehicles, through a dangerous lost temple guarded by a supernatural power. The attraction premiered as Temple of the Forbidden Eye at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California on March 3, 1995, and opened to the general public on March 4, 1995. A second, and nearly identical, version of the ride opened as Temple of the Crystal Skull on September 4, 2001 at Tokyo DisneySea in Chiba, Japan, although the attraction is not related to the film ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'', which was developed and released after the attraction's opening. ==History== Because of the success of ''Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!'' at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida, George Lucas decided to join forces with Walt Disney Imagineering in creating a new attraction for Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. Unlike the previous collaboration, this attraction was created with a backstory "set in the Lost Delta of India, circa 1935".〔 Indiana Jones Adventure is the fourth collaboration between Disney and Lucasfilm, after the Disneyland attractions Captain EO, Star Tours, and ''Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!''. Several early concepts were considered including a walk-through adventure and a high-speed mine car adventure within a temple. To avoid a long queue, Imagineers considered using Jungle Cruise launches to shuttle guests to the loading area.〔 The team tested key show elements in a Burbank warehouse on a full-sized elevated track that resembled a freeway. This enabled the team to test set pieces, lighting, effects, transport clearances and motion profiles. Groundbreaking for the ''Temple of the Forbidden Eye'' occurred in August 1993, with more than 400 Imagineers working on its design and construction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theraider.net/information/attractions/forbiddeneye.php )〕 Tony Baxter led a core project team of nearly 100 Imagineers.〔 To create space for the queue area and the show building, an area of the former "Eeyore" parking lot was demolished, and the Monorail and Jungle Cruise attractions were rerouted. Disney filed for patent on the ride-system on November 16, 1995. The Imagineers reportedly asked Harrison Ford to reprise his role as Indiana Jones, but it is unknown whether or not Ford assisted in the making of the attraction. The Temple of the Forbidden Eye premiered on March 3, 1995. Among the invited celebrity guests were George Lucas, Michael Eisner (Disney CEO at the time), Dan Aykroyd, and Carrie Fisher.〔 To promote the opening of the attraction the Disney Channel produced an hour-long TV program entitled ''Indiana Jones Adventure'' featuring Karen Allen and John Rhys-Davies reprising their roles from ''Raiders of the Lost Ark''.〔 Forty days prior to the attraction's opening, a "Forty Years of Adventure" promotion giveaway of 40 unique annual trading cards began. Guests with valid paid admission received a voucher at the main gate turnstile to exchange for the card of the day, each in a series featuring the landmark attraction of the year starting with 1955. The last card was distributed on March 2, 1995. A special "41st" card of larger issue featured the Indiana Jones Adventure on March 3. Artist Drew Struzan produced a one-sheet poster in the same theme as the films.〔 The adventure opened to general admission on March 4. AT&T Corporation sponsored construction of the attraction and the first seven years of operation, from 1995 to 2002. One of three styles of Marabic decoder cards was distributed to each guest, advertising their promotional campaign on the back. "It’s great to have AT&T as presenting sponsor," said then-Disneyland President Paul Pressler. "With Disneyland celebrating its 40th Anniversary and preparing to open its most exciting attraction, we welcome the opportunities this relationship is sure to create."〔 The attraction currently has no sponsor. The ride was temporarily closed on September 4, 2012 for an extensive refurbishment and re-opened on December 7, 2012. Scheduled modifications included enhancements to lighting, paint, figure animation and other effects. In 2013, the idol of Mara that appears in the Hall of Promise scene was updated with projection mapping effects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indiana Jones Adventure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
