I was wondering what this "new curse" was. Don't remember seeing/hearing anything new on the ride nor have I heard any reports about new stuff.
Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

The link in the first post is perfectly obvious.
I don't like it, glad it is temporary.

A new lighting effect. That's it?
Oh, and I saw the link in the first post too. I'd already read the blog post so I knew the text was copied from the blog post. Yep, just a throwaway line.

Yeah, I tend to bold links to make them more obvious.

from the video it appears that there is a new effect on Mara's face ( looks like the face ages and eyes actually appear on top of the face where eyes should be). Also the audio is a different voice - not one I think that works. Its louder, enunciates better, but.... it's not ominous enough.
I sure its LTM (limited time mara).

The projections are neat, but the new voice is lacking. I don't see where it mentions temporary or permanent though?

So Disneyland just made Facebook events for this? Is the "event" just that APs can ride during specific times when the line is closed to the general population? I'm trying to figure out if there's more to the "event" than that...

i think that's it - you get to ride when others can't. Nothing else to the announcement for now. On twitter DisneylandAP kept pointing to thier facebook page - which does not provide any other info other than event times. most of the hours are just before or right at opening, or right at closing.
and for saturday, since the park is open till 12 - and they don't kick people out of line - then the 1230am end time seems more "general".
it seems the effect is different for the three rooms (based on posted videos). If you're interested, go on youtube and lookup "indiana jones new mara effect". otherwise head to the park.

Interesting. Change can be good at times. I kinda like it.

During this morning's AP event, it was open to everyone. We just got to use the Fastpass entrance (which wasn't all that exciting, because there was NO line until after the FP and standby lines merged ). It was fun anyway, and I always like seeing new things at Disneyland.
Our party agreed that the effect was cool, but looked too modern and "techno" to fit in with the overall theme of the Indiana Jones ride.
To all who come to this happy place...quit stepping on the back of my shoes!

i wonder what will happen when it is busy - probably the same (FP line).
That's an interesting dilemma - because in the movies some fantastic things can happen and look "new" or fluid. However, most of the adventure-fantasy movies that have come over the years do show their artifacts and statues, etc., to be quite "old" - well, except for gold. its always shiny!

Here's our video from today. It's just the new effect - I didn't film the whole ride.

We went during the evening AP admission time. I thought it was pretty cool and a little creepy, but I'm not sure the change was worthy of the "limited time magic" designation.

Interesting point...I'll be curious to see it in person next month. It is certainly a lot creepier in the videos...
I wonder if eventually they might fit projections over other parts of the ride to make it blend a little more? Like they did with Snow White? The projection method could really improve some of the more stagnant effects, like the hall of dart blowers. I'm a little afraid to think how good the bugs on the wall could look though. Eeek!

i just fear that over time projection degrades faster than animatronic or other effects - and it seems the time to clean up the projections or retake them gets delayed more and more (at least for other shows). I still prefer the ominous voice "INFIDELS!"

That looks like a pretty cool effect to me. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person to judge more fully.
