The crate that has the note "deliver to club obi wan" is a reference to the club obi wan that appears at the beginning of The Temple of doom when indy is in shangai.

I especially love the fact that in the chamber of eternal youth Mara’s face is projected smiling and then when he opens his eyes he quickly frowns and starts to decay!

This is the some of the best Disneyland content I've seen on youtube. Really good balance of info, fandom and an outstanding, talented host! 👍 🌟

Disney put Bram in Indiana Jones 5. Bram as Young Indy, LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN. Great video Bram. You are the best.

I want you to point at more things and say that they are cool

Amazing. Can't wait for Tokyo next week since it's amazing and perhaps a mention of the underwhelming Paris coaster.

I was there opening day i had one of those at&t decoder cards, they were to occupy the guests because the lines were LONG and always crowded so you had time to decode the walls. they just handed them out at the start of the temple. Im very sad to see how.....cartoon-like it looks now. it legit looked and felt like a REAL temple when I went. Its been my favorite ride ever since. I went on twice a visit. The fire I felt sold the danger. The fog minimizing the view was also necessary to hide what the ride was actually made of. I had no idea the chamber doors at the beginning were rotating it really felt like your vehicle went down a separate track. I also had no idea we were supposed to be floating into the chamber of doom. thats incredibly fascinating. I can remember back and yeah it did feel diferent during that particular part of the ride and I actually felt off but didnt really know why. and I didnt know there were treasure chambers at the end of the hall of promise either!!! i thought the hall WAS the chamber! I always thought Indies robot at the door looked good too. as a kid I didnt really understand the story aspect of the whole thing. Like I thouight the jeep was driving over really messed up temple floor. And Indie was just keeping back some monsters or something. Maras chamber was so cool to see the other vehicles driving through and Mara trying to kill them and see and FEELING real fire blowing up was so cool. The skeleton tunnel looks crappy now. they look so goofy. The skeleton chamber scared the fuck out of me I hated sitting on that side because they looked like they were falling on top of you. and they looked real not glow in the dark. The snakes holding the bridge had smoke coming from the mouth but not lights. I assumed it was the lava steam or something. sitting on the other side of the jeep though left you open to being attacked by the giant snake. It looks so sad now. It was HUGE and its head whipped down so fast and close and its fangs comes out and it makes a loud hiss. The spirit of mara looked cooler before in my opinion too. it didnt always work. It felt like Mara was following you trying to kill you and it was subtle almost like, "did i see that?" The fireball was my favorite part because it timed up with the music and your car drives down into the darkness. I think it stalls in the dark because honestly it was scary as fuck. You already experienced all this horror and then in the darkness your car engine turns off and the chamber is PITCH BLACK. like you see NOTHING. and then the rat log comes out of nowhere and honestly before you could see the projection just fine. I always knew it was rats. And youd only assume so because you hear the squeeking and then the sound of the metal as they fall onto the car hood. i think they used to have string hanging from the ceiling too that would rub on your face but maybe not. I agree also I always took the knife hallway as they were decorated walls with hidden knife traps. it was a cool effect i liked it. Indies lines during the boulder were randomized too. I remember him saying many different things. Club Obi Wan was the nightclub that Willie sang at in hong kong where he drinks the poison and has to locate the antidote that was flung onto the dancefloor. lastly...... yes about the smell!!!! I know that smell!!!! and its true it smelled like a genuinely ancient place occupied by diesel fueled generators and jeeps. a musty yet exciting smell.

Yo.. Props for discussing and acknowledging all of the broken best effects from the Cali version of this ride. They need to fix majority of those rooms. The ride lost a lot of its mystical feeling because the illusions aren’t pulled off anymore 😔

The cavern of bubbling death used to use real water that was dyed red. The lava rocks underneath would make it glow. The mara face worked as a giant water fountain, you can still see the water inside the head but it's really low. A piece of concept art shows a ghost mara appearing from the center of the head rather than the scrim, it might've been a budget cut effect, or something they couldn't get working on time.

In the avenue of voices, in 1995, that part where the entry and exit are separated by an easy to duck under or jump... rope... was the secret tunnel we took many times to cut the line and reride Indy and the temple of the 5 hour line. Karma has a way of catching up with you though. That first year everything worked. Even the ICE rubble. Best ride ever!

I know this is old, but I felt like I need to express how much I absolutely love this series. The ride, as you definitely know, has a very strict height policy and I remember the day I was FINALLY tall enough to ride it. My late father and I would go to Disneyland almost every other weekend (sometimes our only Christmas gift was annual passes back then) and this was ride the both of us wanted to experience the most, and it was such a touching memory to recall, considering it's this ride, Indy, and the history of well... everything that made me decide to double major history and anthropology (archaeology is a subdisipline, but it's a VERY tough industry at the moment). Thank you for bringing back a warm memory from a past I miss and a man I wish was here. Thank you making me laugh, and bringing such an infectious smile to my day. Subbed and can't wait to finish it up and watch your Tower of Terror review. You have a fantastic production and I encourage you to follow through on it, if that's your aspiration.

I love all the little details in this attraction. It's so great

Love the green screen - really did make it seem like you were our guide in Disneyland! Can’t wait to go back!!!

That part about the different rooms where Mara is supposed to grant you his gifts is fascinating. I remember riding this as a kid and it seemed like the vehicle would make a turn into one of the rooms. But the videos of the modern version of the ride I see all have the vehicle heading towards the center door. The way you explained it is very fascinating. I do miss the older version of the moving room with the dummy doors.

I'm loving this deep dive series, this ride has made such a huuuge impact on me! The defunct effects don't bother me so much, but what kinda grinds my gears is the excessive blacklight paint. Before, the whole ride was mostly muted, earthy tones that made it all feel much more real. It's more vibrant now, but definitely has more of a disco vibe than an adventure vibe.

I love Disneyland history, and I'm a big Disney fan. I grew up going to Disneyland, got a pass in 4th grade, around 1999 or 2000, had one until I started working there in 2012 (and still working there). Today I was thinking "I need to find info about old Indiana Jones..." specifically the 5 moving chamber doors. I knew about a lot of things you shared, but learned new things too. Thank you for putting together something so amazing! I've only watched these first 3 episodes so far, but I'm looking forward to watching more of your content! Also, a side note, I had the pleasure of riding this with the lights on, it totally ruins the magic! And while in the queue, the part before the bat cave, you might notice a few square openings in the ceiling (above where guests are exiting), above that is where guests or cast members can get into Walt's apartment above Pirates!

My father worked at Hughes Aircraft in Fullerton and brought home the Orange Country Register (OCR) when the ride first opened they had a massive section on it including a translator so you could translate the writing on the walls. I traveled up from San Diego just to see the ride. The opening weekend I went through twice and they really tossed you around (which was part of the fun) I was amazed they did not include seat belts as it felt like I would be thrown from the car at any moment. Star Tours opened and once again I traveled up to Disneyland and went on Forbibben Eye twice but now they had tamed the car down so you hardly had any movement (up, down, side to side) and the ride was not as fun. In the OCR article, they admitted that the ride was over budget and had to trim a few corners specifically in the final room with the darts (puffs of air) going by. If you live in Orange County you might be able to find an archive copy of the article at your local library.

WOOO HOOOO, HOOT AND HOLLER!!!! Insanely AMAZING!! EPIC video here Bram!! I am very glad to say that I got to ride it many many times with full effects working!! Fantastic green screen effect works GREAT, love this format!!! Thank you for the complete breakdown of queue and each room of the ride!!! Much MUCH MUCH in depth detail as always from how it used to be to how it is now!! Now I cant wait for EP 3!!

Loved the new video style! It's crazy how much little details go into this ride! Can't wait for next week

18:11 fun fact here, indys hat used to be on the shelf, they took it off later tho.

I think that the burial chamber that appears in the in-universe map (at 16:34) suppose to be the mummy chamber from the main ride. The map shows like a possible hidden tunnel connecting to it, and it could explain the king mummy that appears in the room. So it would mean that in that part of the ride it is implyied that you are driving under that queue rotunda.

I miss the switching door effect so much. Man, I’ll never forget how much more rough this ride was back when it first opened.

I went to Disneyland in 96. I am terrified of snakes and knew nothing about the ride and only had watched Last crusade. That cobra lunged at you. Scared me and I still have nightmares. The ride was amazing. Pretty sure Indy was back first on the doors.

The “Club Obi-Wan” reference is actually a second-degree Star Wars reference - Club Obi-Wan is the name of the Shanghai club in the opening sequence of Temple of Doom

Hey man new subscriber here, I appreciate the time u take to make videos. I love effort and I look forward to every video👍👍

Indiana Jones 5! Starring Bram Briskon/Disneylander Lol this has been an adventure! So cool 😎

When the world needs Bram most He made whole documentary about a Disneyland ride with in depth details. Saved the world on countless occasions. Gained subscribers. Grew older. Ultimately did anything any normal human would do for 4 months. Gained new discord members. Had some go inactive ,cough* cough* me, and pulled a bram and made me learn more about Disney. Were you expecting a shorter comment?

20:59 didn't realize I was watching can slam with Bram

I adore this series!!!! You’re content feels really unique and always makes me smile!

I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and marathoned this entire series. It’s so well done. I can tell you really did your research. It was all really entertaining and informative. Thanks for this awesome series :)

I think they could easily replace the rubble with a jet of brown mist on the ceiling. But I understand that to do that you would need to tear the roof off. Also I think that holding room would be a better rat chamber. Have the vehicle stall out as the room fills with rats and the jeep starts working again just before they can enter your vehicle.

i love your energy & editing so much man

I share your obsession bro. My wife gets pissed because of how much Indy junk I have in my house and continue to purchase 😂. My backyard is totally decked out and looks like the base camp right before you walk into the temple, along with some jungle cruise stuff. Anyhoo cheers! 🍺🤠

Bones is on the right across from the big scene. See him every time

Omg when you were talking about the smell I freaked out cuz I know the exact smell you’re talking about but it’s so hard to explain😂

The guy in the well isnt dead! hahah you dont kill him. hes studying artifacts that are hidden in the well which as the sign says are very fragile. tugging the rope might knock him around down there or something but it causes him to drop the artifact hes holding and you hear it shatter on the ground. then he starts whining and saying "oh noooo"

My dad went in the ride when it first opened! He said it was the collets thing ever

I loved the videos and the ride so much, just a quick note, the box at the office part that says "Deliver to Club Obi Wan", it's the name of the club at the very beggining of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 😊

Another superb video Bram! Love the walk through and video analysis. I think the falling ice effect was one of the coolest ever in any ride. One question for you: where did you film your intro scenes? We are from Arizona too so we were curious as to where you found that fun little Indy-like area to film in:)

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing some new facts with me about my favorite ride 😁

The rope you pull on has artifacts in it. There’s no one you kill when you pull on it. He yells for you to stop because they are rare items and he doesnt want you to break them.

i will say the snake and the scrim of the blue ghost af mara were much more terrifying in 1995 since the snake looked more convincing and much more fast with its movement while the scrim was designed differently yet looked more hellish like a demon and had cobra-like teeth compared to the new zombie ghoul looking version although sadly these 2 features weren't documented all that well since the snake room was poorly lit and the scrim would be very non-visible to riders plus this ride used to be much faster so good luck catching them on video

Did you ever notice the old eeyore parking lot sign in the projection area :)

i like these intros

Can you please do other history videos like the Indiana Jones Adventure including Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s a small world, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin and more! 😊😊😊😊

I remember the most recent time i went on this ride. The bamboo pole was completely removed and laid lose over the side rails. Completely caught me off guard.

Nice video, excited to see the next in the series! - Question, have you ever heard one of the audio tracks when first leaving the loading dock, where instead of the usual hello greeting "the brakes may be needing a little adjustment, easy on the curves hehe" from Sallah; instead the Jeep horn would blare and it would act like the driver pushed the brakes and some other line is said? My brother and I are huge fans of the ride and have heard this only once in all the times of us riding.

The obi wan box was a reference to Star Wars but it was also a reference to the obi wan club from the start of the temple of doom. Just thought you would like to know

HOLD ON! Is that Mercedes truck the ACTUAL one used in Raiders? Please confirm omg!!!!

all three Indiana jones rides is the best rides in Disneyland & Walt Disney studios & Tokyo Disney SEA

Now that it has changed again. You can do a video of the more that was lost from the ride.

March 17, 2023... ride updated again. Wonder if the new parts have anything to do with the new Indy 5 Dial of Destiny movie?

I love this video so much! Where did you get that map from?!!!

I wish they would change the rat room to something similar to Tokyo’s smoke ring part. My favorite attraction, but also has my least favorite scene/effect.

When I rode Indiana Jones the last time the Boulder did not move

I wish they would hide the tracks better. This ride is my favorite as well, but when I can see the track, it ruins the story and makes me feel like I'm just driving past a scene instead of being in the scene.

Hi

Did you know in the theater 🎭 room scene, you can see the old blue sign 🪧 with Eeyore on it because the rest of the queue and ride (including its show building) used to be the former Eeyore section of the former Disneyland parking lot, that’s an Easter egg, am I right as well.

I always thought Mara was a girl!
