For that matter, is Mickey still relevant?
A debate over what age to depict a character in a ride would never cross my mind before I read this.
If you're going by how old Ford was in comparison to Indiana, then you have to remember that Temple takes place before Raiders. So Ford was older but Indiana was younger. If you're saying the ride takes place "Now" then Indiana would be 119 years old.
Maybe the could make it a SEA ride, with Indy, the character, as the introducer to the concept of SEA, but Indy wouldn't be the focus of the ride. That whole area would be kind of cool as a SEA mini land eventually. They've already tied SEA into Indy myth at Hanger Bar, so wouldn't be too big of a jump. Although a SEA area in AK could be cool too.

I suppose my question for adding any additional Indiana Jones (to any park) is that is Indiana Jones still relevant? If Kingdom of the Crystal Skull went differently, and actually passed the torch, then perhaps. But think about it, Temple of the Forbidden Eye opened in 1995. Harrison Ford was 52. So that animatronic actually looks like 50 year old Harrison Ford. But when you go to add a new attraction in 2018+...and you have Indy 5 potentially happening with a 75+ year old grandpa...what do you make the boat ride about? Do you have young Ford or new Ford? Young Ford...so did we time travel? Old Ford...do we want to be on a boat ride with grandpa?
I don't know, I think if they want to add any Indy IP, they should reboot the actual character.
We're Indy fans but I don't understand the push to add anything Indy to the parks. I think there are other IP's that would be far more current and work just as well or better in the parks.
With Harrison Ford though, right? Maybe they pass the torch in that movie and on any subsequent Indy attraction we follow new Indy with old Indy guiding him?
I enjoy the Indy films, but man, I really don't want to see 80 year old Harrison Ford jumping around.
Honestly, I would love the following...With Harrison Ford though, right? Maybe they pass the torch in that movie and on any subsequent Indy attraction we follow new Indy with old Indy guiding him?

Yeah, I was hoping the SEA angle would be expanded with the "coming" jungle Cruise Rock movieI am all for more SEA - though you have the Skipper's Canteen with the connection in MK already as well - so perhaps then it would be more little pockets of it in multiple parks rather than a mini-land in one park
Side note, the kids club on the Disney Wonder is all themed to the SEA and it was really cool - though probably more to me during the open house than the kids who were actually there
Honestly, I would love the following...
1) a new trilogy(?) - Young Indy similar to the TV program that was on, using a new star to reset Indy, but using Harrison Ford at the start of each in recalling the different ages. Then once those 2-3 are done...you could use the "younger" actor to move forward.
2) Pass the torch Indy - Harrison is getting too old, I wonder if he will force "death" as he did in Star Wars...and then pass the torch...
3) Just move on, Have Indy to early intro to new replacement(not child..but former student???) and move on...
1) was never official - crystal skull had his.."son" but it never called out passing the torch...and the movie wasn't that well written...My two cents...
1) Didn't this already kinda' fail?
3) Super dicey. Who knows how/if this will be well-received? Still seems that big $$$ in parks for Indy is an odd place to put money in 2018.

As much as I don't want to see an action packed Jungle Cruise movie (I'd prefer corny shlock), it wouldn't surprise me if that Dwayne Johnson vehicle, if successful, becomes Disney's next Indy-esque property.
I tried watching it as a kid - really didn't like it. I have no idea if it did well or not, but it seemed to fade very quickly.The Young Indy show was pretty good. Just too expensive for television.
I’ve posted before I think they should reboot Indy. Start with a very young Indy and how he first met Marion. Then move on from there.

Arg. I was all excited for this since I loved the movie when I was little. My thought before I read the description was, "Yes! My almost six year old son will love this - a boy show besides Miles from Tomorrowland/Mission Force One (which he really watches because it reminds him of tomorrowland at WDW)."
But, no.
I think Disney Junior does a good job with programs that appeal to boys and girls. Doc McStuffins, Lion Guard, Puppy Dog Pals, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, PJ Masks... This one probably will too.
I don't know. Sometimes my son just wants to watch what he calls a "boy show". And for him, Disney Junior doesn't have much to offer. I guess I was hoping this could fill the gap between DJ and XD. Oh well.
Interesting that they waited this long to do that if it was such an issue.
Must have been a change today since I rode it yesterday.
