Interesting…so the music has changed just a little bit and that’s after you pass the snake, the big rock explosion sound just to be in the dark with the sound of mice for about 4-5 seconds before the Jeep turns on again.
I dunno about that being DURABLE , looks like to me some more refinement is needed to claim that . there are variable resistor foot pedals available that are built and hardwired to stand up to the rigors of everyday use . It works well just not to my standards . The concept is good though .
2:57 Oh man, I loved Nestle Quik as a kid (or Nesquik as it was called everywhere else in the world - up until the late 90s when they changed the name in the U.S to match everywhere else) - that alone would have made me happy if I were a little kid on that flight. 😂
For those who didn’t know when ur headed towards the gates of doom the story is that ur actually being carried by Mara which if pay attention the Jeep’s movement simulate u flying. The reason I’m saying is because there was an effect that was so awesome. If u look closely at the gates of doom u can see the light behind the doors go out simulating as if indy closed the doors and directly after that the car would suddenly fall down a bit which is y it suddenly dropped down a bit. That was simulating how Mara had lost control of the car when Indy closed the gates. It’s an amazing detail which sadly is no longer in the ride. U can still feel the sudden drop of the car but the gates continue to glow with Indy no longer closing it.
What an awesome video! When I was nine years old we hiked up into the mountains to get a look at it also. Of course we were poor and couldn’t afford a video camera but that would’ve been awesome to have. My father was a railroad man and helped rebuild the tracks in the line through Billys mountain. I myself am a railroad man now I have been for almost 30 years. I’ve ran hundreds of trains through here and I still get amazed every time I look at it.
Great to hear the old Wurlitzer 153 band organ playing (it's no longer on the ride). 0:00 "In My Tippy Canoe" 0:55 "Dapper Dan" 2:29 "The Waltz Of Love"
I love seeing these old videos from when the ride first opened. I got to ride in myself in 1995 and it blew my mind. Still does, in fact. So awesome that you can see the falling rocks effect at 4:02 that stopped working all too soon after the ride premiered. I distinctly remember it, and wish it still worked. Thank you for uploading this!
So, how long did it take to drive a splinter into your hand when using this? You need to replace the Wheel Head with something that will not absorb water and turn into a seriously dangerous device.
They REALLY dimmed down on the tourist statements that Indy makes. It's like they thought people would be more offended in today's world or something. I forgot about some of the dialogue that has since changed. Lately it's felt like somethings were missing. A lot of the original dialogue seems so much stronger than it does today.
@@1ROCKET- At the time I wrote the comment, I had an annual pass to Disneyland and went fairly often and as often as I could on Indy. Each and every time I went on the ride, I didn't hear Indiana say things like his "tourists" statements. I've never heared what Sallah says at the beginning and I don't think they have it or what Mara says in this video probably because of how the entrance into the temple has changed so much. One time on the ride, probably months after I wrote the comment, I finally heard Indy make the "tourist" statement and I was excited! So cool it. I didn't know. I even mentioned in the comment how "it's FELT like [some things] were missing" giving a benefit of a doubt.
@@1ROCKET- I know, right? A month or more...probably more once I heard it that first time after...years of going to Disneyland, I heard it more often the next few times I was on the ride after that, too. It's like Disney knows... :-O
First time I rode this was on Grad Night June 1, 1995. At that time it was the most amazing thing that I've ever been on. And to this day I'm still amazed at how they made this attraction. It really stood the test of time. And it's funny that not a single person waiting in line in this video is holding a cell phone. I miss those days so much.
that's a great tutorial. there are plenty of diy potters wheels on youtube but most of them are just badly designed and the heads don't spin true to a plane, they kind of wobble around, which is a shame because but that's the most important feature if you want to throw anything tall easily, it really shouldn't have these up and down movements at all. yours look like its spinning very true, i guess you managed the junction between the shaft and the head really well. how did you do it if I may ? good job !
That Skyway ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA is or was no longer allowed. That Skyway ride is still available at Sea World and San Diego Zoo both in San Diego, CA, Great America in Santa Clara, CA, Six Flags over Georgia in Atlanta, GA & Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ.
Thanks for posting this! I explored Thistle recently and wanted to know more of its background. I didn't know if I would find any footage from that year about it.
I never got to see these versions of the subs. The story goes the paint started coming off the newly painted subs and Disney had to shut the ride down again amd repaint them again. They decided to go with a more normal looking all mustard yellow with only small hints of orange and black. Really cool to see video of these since they only last a very short time!
