11 - Journey of Aladdin 

C-Ticket

Any Height

In this original dark ride inspired by the film, guests travel through Agrabah with a young street rat who wins the heart of a princess.

QUEUE:

Located in the back of the bazaar is a large, Arabian-style Palace. Here, guests go in and meander through a series of pages from 1001 Arabian Nights, which references stories like Sinbad and Ali Baba. Guests then appear in a loading station, where they board their vehicles. They are brown carriages pulled by camels that sit up to six people.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:

The ride starts by going into the city streets, where Aladdin is fleeing from some guards. As "One Jump Ahead" plays in the background, guests can see Aladdin and Abu in many places, evading the guards. They even see Jasmine nearby in disguise, as well as Jafar and Lago hiding in an alleyway, looking at Aladdin with interest.

Then, guests appear in a desert scene, where they approach the Cave of Wonders. Jafar (now in his beggar disguise) orders Aladdin to go in and fetch the lamp for him. Guests go through the cave and see Aladdin holding the lamp, before they are trapped in the cave when Abu touches a ruby. In the next scene, guests see the Genie performing for Aladdin and Abu, "Friend Like Me" playing in the background.

The vehicles then enter a new Agrabah street, where the villagers are watching a parade come in. Here, Aladdin is riding Abu as an elephant as the Genie is in the audience, singing "Prince Ali." Guests go under the balcony of the palace, where Jasmine, Rajah, Jafar, and the sultan look at him.

Suddenly, the scene becomes more remarkable as guests enter a nighttime scene, where Aladdin is flying with Jasmine on a magic carpet. They are singing "A Whole New World," but this scene doesn't last forever. Jafar is seen nearby with his hands on the lamp.

The guests then enter another seen where Aladdin is battling with Jafar, who has turned into a giant snake. In the meantime, Jasmine is stuck in a giant hourglass while the Genie watches with worry. After turning the corner, another scene is revealed, where Jafar has become a Genie. However, he gains cuffs and is sucked into a lamp. In the final scene, Aladdin wishes that the Genie was free. After this, guests go past a wedding scene on the balcony of the palace, where Aladdin and Jasmine sing another verse of "A Whole New World" while the Sultan, Rajah, the Genie, and Abu watch with glee.

12 - Legend of the Lion King

C-Ticket

Any Height

Inside a large theater is a stage show combining acrobatics, dancers, African cultural stuff, and more to retell the story of the film. In a way, it is a mix between the Festival of the Lion King and the Broadway musical inspired by the film.

13 - Raging Spirits

E-Ticket

Must be 48 in.

Guests travel amidst the towering ruins of a lost Mayan civilization in a mine carts. As they go, they swoop down, make turns, and even go through a loop as they face the wrath of the temple spirits.

14 - Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Feathered Serpent

E-Ticket

Must be 46 in.

Guests journey into a cursed temple and face the wrath of Kukulkan, coming across many perils as they try to escape.

BACKSTORY:

The year is 1937 and Indiana Jones has come to Mexico on an expedition. He's following some notes from his late mentor, Abner Ravenwood, about the Mayan serpent deity of Kukulkan. Its powers over the weather, the Earth, and time have intrigued many, and he is determined to find out if it is real or not.

He has teamed up with a Mexican archaeologist named Dr. Guillermo Diaz, who has discovered the temple. However, as their expeditions went in, they all disappeared. Indiana Jones went in to look for them, and now he's gone too.

Desperate to find both Indy and Kukulkan, Diaz has chosen the guests to go into the temple to find them. However, as they enter this cursed land, they may discover that some legends are true after all.

QUEUE:

In the back of Adventureland is a mysterious Mayan pyramid that has fallen to ruin. It is fashioned after El Castillo (also known as the Temple of Kukulkan) in Chichen Itza. Guests go into the pyramid and see some Mayan artifacts. There are even a couple of Indiana Jones references, such as the Hevitos idol, a crate from Club Obi-Wan, and a picture of Marion Ravenwood.

Soon, guests will enter a room where a newsreel is playing. Here, Dr. Diaz greets the guests and explains why they are there, while also explaining the origin of Kukulkan. As guests leave the room, they see some of Abner's notes on the wall, warning that the Feathered serpent god is a fierce protector of Mayan treasure and will harm anyone who tries to steal it.

After that, guests will go into the loading station, where their jeeps await. They climb into the jeeps and set their belongings in a pouch before fastening their seatbelts.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:

Similar to the Disneyland version of the ride, guests will come across one of three doors. Each one offering a different reward. This includes gold, eternal youth, or knowledge of the future. It's really just one hall, but sliding doors make it appear to be many. The gold hall features statues holding treasure, the youth hall features a water-lit room, and the knowledge room features a star-decorated ceiling.

However, as they approach a statue of Kukulkan, it awakens and says how they are not Mayan people and therefore are unworthy of these treasures. It then redirects them to the gates of doom on the left. As a mysterious purple light comes out of the gates, Indiana Jones is seen, trying to keep the gates shut as he orders the guests to get away.

The jeeps enter a large room full of boiling lava and the head of Kukulkan in the back. They turn left and go through a room where the skeletons of Spanish conquistadors are caught in booby traps, some of which are thrust forward to startle guests. They then go through a dark room, and when they turn the lights on, the walls are crawling with bugs. A puff of air even makes it feel like some bugs have flown over them.

The jeeps then cross a shaky rope bridge to get across the lava pool. On the other side, they go through a hallway where large axes are, narrowing dodging them. They also enter a room filled with snakes, including a giant cobra that looks at the guests menacingly. The jeeps them go behind the face of Kukulkan, going beneath a branch with rats on it before seeing a projection of a ghostly Kukulkan on a wall. Then, they enter a room where saifu ants come out. They escape the room by going down a hallway with skulls on the walls, some of which shoot darts (a puff of air makes guests feel like this is happening.)

As the guests enter a dark room, they come across Indiana Jones again, who orders them to turn the lights on. When they do, this reveals a boulder rolling in their direction. The vehicles back up (even though it's the room that's moving, not them) before dropping into darkness below the boulder. On the other side, they see Indy standing there in front of the crushed boulder, telling them to be more careful next time.

POST-RIDE:

Guests get off their vehicles and take a passage back into Adventureland. Here, they go near a wooden hut where the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost gift shop is. This sells Indiana Jones merchandise while also displaying pictures taken of the guests on the ride.

16 - Skull Island

B-Ticket

17 - Pirates of the Caribbean

E-Ticket

Any Height

Set sail with the scurviest pirates who ever rocked the Caribbean. This is a mix of the classic version of the ride and a new story featuring characters from the films.

QUEUE:

On the far end of Adventureland is a towering Spanish fortress overlooking Skull Island. Guests go under a sail with the name of the ride on it and meander through several courtyards. Eventually, they go into the fortress itself, going down through an underground dock, which takes them to their loading station. Here, guests will board their boats and get ready for their pirate adventure.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:

The ride begins by leaving the fort and passing under the talking skull, which warns of pirates up ahead. They then enter into a jungle area, where guests float through a lagoon and see the Pirate's Palate restaurant nearby. As they go deeper into the jungle, guests see exotic birds and head towards a fortress. Here, they go up a ramp and into the fort.

Soon enough, guests realize that this is a fort under attack. Shouting is heard, ordering to fire ahead at Pirate's. They even pass a jail cell where some pirate prisoners are trying to get a guard dog to give them keys. Then, guests turn the corner and fall out of the fortress, heading into a moonlit lagoon where a giant pirate ship armed by Captain Barbossa is firing away.

After this, the boats enter the village, where some pirates are dunking the mayor and demanding to know where the treasure map is. Although his wife orders him not to speak, the pirates shoo her away by shooting upwards. They then turn towards an auction, where a female pirate is selling treasure to other greedy pirates. In the meantime, Jack Sparrow is hiding behind some dresses.

The boats then enter another village scene, where pirates are singing, chasing food, and being chased. Barbossa is nearby, saying that one of his men had found the map and demanding to see it. In the meantime, a dumb pirate is holding the map in the air, claiming that Captain Jack will never see it. Little does he know that Jack Sparrow is right behind him, hiding in a barrel and looking at it.

The boats continue into another scene where the town has been set ablaze and the pirates are singing "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me.)" As guests exit the room, they see Jack holding his magic compass, saying that he has a heading. The boat then moves through darkness before coming across Blue mist, where Davy Jones appears. Shortly after this, it makes a second drop.

The boat then travels through some cave scenes, which are similar to the classic version of the ride. There are skeletal pirates sitting on treasure, a pirate sailing in a storm, who is revealed to be a skeleton with a flash of lightning, a drinking pirate, and some dead pirates playing chess. Then, guests enter a room where more treasure is. There are pirates all around, fighting each other. Guests can turn and see Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa dueling with swords, fighting over the treasure. Then, after turning the corner, things have been settled. Barbossa is captured by British soldiers, who point guns at him. In another scene, Jack is seen sitting on a throne surrounding by treasure, singing along to a reprise of the song from earlier.

POST-RIDE:

After coming to an unload station, guests get off their boats and follow a passage into the Plunder Parlor, a gift shop selling pirate merchandise and showing ride photos.
