I can understand Disney wanting to cut OSHA off at the pass by making safety improvements before they are required to. But no matter how safe they try to make the rides, there will always be accidents.

Oops! Forgot to include a key piece of info in the story:
The rehab will be from September 4 to December 7.

Thanks for that update, I am bringing my nephews next spring and both will FINALLY be tall enough to ride and Indy is on the top of their wish list right under the Radiator Springs Racers!

Indiana Jones is to DL what Expedition Everest is to WDW.......both major attractions in need of major refurbs.....

Can I just say how much I dislike Disneyland's "surprise" refurbs that are NOT listed on the schedule until last minute? They already only show the schedule 5-6 weeks out. So we checked last week for Sept 15 - looked good only Casey Jr. and Storybook were down and the Halloween overlays were back up... so we booked our vacation; then today I see this. We live out of state and only visit once a year. The LEAST they can do is know 6 weeks ahead about something this major. I love DL but this drives me crazy every year. My kids and miss riding half the rides because different ones are closed every time. They've never been on Splash Mountain yet and we've even gone different times of year. From an out-of-stater point of view looks like they totally cater to locals who can come anytime or they seriously just want to pack people in during the summer?! OK, thanks for letting me vent.Originally Posted by David Koenig
I also would like to say I was disappointed. They are bringing the National Geographic Indiana Jones exhibit back from overseas to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana in October so we booked a trip since our son is CRAZY for Indiana Jones. I thought for sure that Disneyland would jump on this bandwagon for the opening, which brings crowds. Apparently, I was mistaken and my son will not get to enjoy the ride. It will likely be our only visit to Disneyland, as we live in Ohio and Walt Disney World is much more affordable for us. They still do not have it listed on their current refurb list under the last day on their calendar of Sept 26. We are super bummed!!! (and secretly hoping they will change their mind and get through the holidays and then close. ;o))
Wow - the exhibit sounds great! we'll have to check that out while we're out there. And, I know they do need to work on rides, so with my vent I'm just specifically referring to rides that are not listed under refurbishment and then "pop up" unexpectedly with only a couple weeks (or even days) notice. I even called today to verify the IJ closure and the cast member said it's not on the website nor do they have any knowledge of it going down. This has happened every trip to us. BUT, as you said above, maybe they'll decide to take advantage of cross-promoting with the exhibit after all!! Yes, DW does such a better job at getting info out there further out, and it's a much better value; I wish it were closer to us!!
Just browsing the Disneyland site and if you go the Indiana Jones attraction page, it does list the refurbishment. UGH!!! It still does not have it on the calendar page though. I guess they will not be changing their mind. Bummer!
