The Disney Parks Blog just announced today that a special “Indiana Jones Adventure Inspired” Funko Pop will be available for purchase through the Disney Parks online store on October 7th.

From Disney Parks Blog:

The next figure in our series of Disney Parks Exclusive Funko Pop! figures will be released on October 7, 2016 via the Disney Parks online store. Part of the Pop! Rides series, this figure features Indiana Jones in his rugged troop transport vehicle from the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland park.

This figure is number 19 in their Pop! Rides series, and includes the replica ride vehicle along with a removable Indiana Jones figure. Retail is $40.00 (plus tax).

This item will only be sold on the Disney Parks online store.

This is great news for those people that wanted to get their hands on this years New York City Comic Con exclusive “Indy’s Ride” because this is the same one (minus the NYCC Limited Edition sticker). NYCC attendees had to jump through more obstacles than Indy himself to get the chance to bring this little guy home with them. You first had to register for a lotto several weeks ago and if by chance you were one of the lucky ones that were selected to participate in the purchase of Indy’s Ride, there was still no guarantee that you would receive one depending on the quantity that was available and how long the line was.

So here is your chance! Get these while they are hot! It does not appear that “Indy’s Ride” is available for preorder yet but DisneyParks online store should have it updated hopefully before October 7th.

WDWNT on July 20, 2016

A Funko Pop! vinyl figure inspired by Indiana Jones is coming to select merchandise locations at Disney Parks on July 22. This Funko Pop! figure is part of a collection of figures created especially for Disney Theme Park Merchandise. Other figures in this collection include four Haunted Mansion-themed Funko Pop! released in November 2015.

The packaging for this figure includes a nod to the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction in Adventureland at Disneyland park.

This Indiana Jones figure is different than one being released at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2016. The Comic-Con figure (#199) was inspired by “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” whereas the Disney Parks figure (#200) was inspired by “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

The Disney Parks Exclusive figure will have a retail of $19.99, and it will be released at the following Disney Parks merchandise locations:

Disneyland Resort

Disneyland park – Adventureland Bazaar
Downtown Disney District – D-Street

Walt Disney World Resort

Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost
Disney Springs Marketplace – Disney’s Pin Traders

Guests may also have this figure shipped directly to home using the Shop Disney Parks mobile app.

Tim Alcoser’s 9/5/2012 Disneyland Photo Report

WDWNT on September 8, 2012

Tim Alcoser was at the Disneyland Resort a few days ago and got some pictures of some newsworthy items around Disneyland Park.

Welcome to Disneyland

Christmas decorations were temporarily up for filming.

City Hall can still be accessed while under refurbishment.

City Hall is all wrapped up for refurbishment.

As can the restrooms near City Hall. But the firestation is closed.

So is the firehouse

A mini sneak peak of Christmas decorations.

Holiday decorations are up for filming

Indiana Jones closed until the end of the year. Good thing too, there was A LOT that needed to be refurbished and repaired.

Indiana Jones is closed through December 7th

The Bootstrappers play for thrilled guests.

Now for a peak in the Pirate’s League

The Pirate's League crew did a little redecorating to the Court of Angels.

I think it is a nice use of the space

Haunted Mansion is closed through the 13th for holiday install

Haunted Mansion Holiday decorations are moving along well. Less than a week before it's open.

Looks like all the exterior decorations are up on the mansion

Neat picture

Casey Jr. and Storybook Land are closed for refurbishment and to install new “safety features.”

Monstro is getting a much needed new coat of paint

The new location for the Princess Meet and Greet is on the right side of the pathway to It's a Small World in Fantasyland.

The princess meet and greet in the Small World Mall

You can still meet Merida

The theater is being prepped for the new show coming next Spring

Minnie's House under refurbishment. Mickey's is still open.

Over in Toontown, Minnie’s House is closed for refurb

But you can still meet Minnie near Goofy's house.

Though Minnie is out and about around Toontown doing meet & greets

Terribly sorry sir, I thought Fantasyland was this way...

Pizza Port is down for refurbishment. Maybe they will fix the pizza too.

In tomorrowland, Redd Rocketts Pizza Port is closed through the 21st

Indiana Jones Adventure Single Rider Line

WDWNT on September 30, 2008

We’re hearing that a Single Rider line has been implemented over at the Indiana Jones Adventure. While there isn’t an actual line set up for it, you can still go single by asking a Cast Member for a Single Rider pass at the entrance to the queue. You then proceed through the exit of the attraction, where a Cast Member will direct you into the room with the safety video. After watching the safety video, you’ll take the elevator to the loading area.

I’m sure this Single Rider line will make it much easier for single guests to get on with-out having to endure the pain of one of Disneyland’s worst set-up queues.

Indiana Jones May Get Crystal Skull References

WDWNT on July 10, 2008

From the OC Register:

Crystal skulls may be added to the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction in Disneyland, but the “Summer of Hidden Mysteries” will end after this summer.

Glenn Kelman, a Disney Entertainment Productions senior show producer, talked about the Indiana Jones touches added to Adventureland for the summer.

First, he said that the “Summer of Hidden Mysteries” will only last through the summer.

“There are no plans to keep this event running along past this summer,” Kelman said.

He also mentioned that “as the [Indiana Jones] franchise continues, the possibility may come up to add new things to the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction.”

He said that there are no plans to remake or change the Indiana ride at Disneyland. Kelman said Imagineers’ “imagination could run wild” with new things to add to the ride from the latest “Crystal Skull” Indiana Jones movie.

Imagineering Spokeswoman Marilyn Waters said she knows of no plans to add “Crystal Skull” touches to the attraction.

She added that “it doesn’t mean that in a couple of months we won’t say ‘hey, why don’t we add this.’
