Indiana Jones Adventure Fastpass Line?

[Timchat2]

We haven't visited Disneyland since the introduction of Fastpass. Does the FP line for Indiana Jones go through the same space at the elaborate stand-by queue or is it somehow routed differently to the load area? While we certainly don't want to wait in a long line if we don't have to, it would be kind of a shame to miss all that great theming.

It basically is a parallel que, skipping the outside area (non themed from my understanding), so not to worry I dont beleive you will miss any of the great que themeing in the fp line, except that you may make the mistake and just simply move too fast past an area

With FP you get to walk through the entire inside part of the line, but not the outside part. You still get to see a lot of the cool stuff inside.

I've never visted Disneyland too but i watched several part of indianna jones adventure. Very interesting.

The wait while inside the building are nearly identical. The regular line just has a very lengthy wait outside. They actually do not allow the lines to back up inside the building, so unless you stop to examine thingsletting people pass you, you really will spend very little time on the inside part of the the queue area.

I had a feeling the two lines would follow a similar path, mostly because they both need to travel under the railroad tracks. We'll probably ride at least a couple times during our trip so I'm hopeful that we'll be able to soak in the atmosphere a bit with each pass.

Are there any other Fastpass lines that are vastly different from the regular standby line? It seems like DLR has fewer elaborate interior queues than the WDW parks, so maybe there aren't as many places where one might miss themed areas.

just because you haven't used FP doesn't mean you can't be good at it when you walk in the gates.

The previous posts about Indy FP seemed a bit misleading to me. Indy has an elaborate queue that was designed pre-FP. In order to implement FP they have to hold everyone outside and there they have parallel standby and FP lines. Once the lines merge outside, you can walk inside and right through the elaborate queue. Most people walk quickly through all of this although there is nothing to keep you from doing it slowly.

Also, I am not sure exactly what you are getting at when asking about vastly different FP and standby lines. Are you asking if you are missing out on elaborate queues by using FP? Well, yes in most cases. That is what FP does. It takes you past the queue area and toward the front. On Roger Rabbit you miss out on all of the queue. Is it worth going thru standby just to see the queue? Well, I guess, if you really like to stand in lines. I don't. Even the best designed queue does not interest me if it means I have to stand in line for a long time.

Are DLR's queues less elaborate than WDW's? Hmmm, never thought of it. I think DLR's Space Mtn, BTMRR, IASW and Soarin queues are better than WDW's. Splash seems about the same. TT and EE have very nice queues but I have never waited in EE's. The TSMM, ToT and POTC queues seem better at WDW. But in almost all those cases I use FPs and do not see much of the queues.

I would say that somewhere around 1980 disney tried making the ques better. So the handful of new rides in DL got better ques. The ones in MK nope, epcot, DHS and AK get better the later they were built. But that's only for the ones inside buildings. More or less DLR has a lot of nice ques outside. Like IASW's that translates to a cramped indoor que for the WDW version to get you out of Florida's rainy weather.

Missing out on an elaborately themed queue isn't a big deal, especially if the trade-off is a short wait. Still, with more recent attractions the queues have played a part in setting the scene, particularly with the Indiana Jone Adventure. In some cases, like Dueling Dragons (now Dragon Challenge) at IOA, the queue is arguably the most interesting and unique part of the experience.

I assume the tendency for WDW to have larger indoor queues is almost entirely due to the regular rain in Orlando. DLR must have consistently nicer weather to allow for more outdoor queues.

I think it's actually worth going through the Roger Rabbit queue at least once, but preferably not with a 40 minute line! If you get to Toontown near its opening time you should be able to go through the queue with a minimal wait. For any queues you want to experience, I'd just try to do the ride early in the morning.

It is themed. There's the truck and a few other "blocks" of things with little details.

Indy is probably my favorite queue, partly because I still carry around a decoder card and translate when I'm stuck in a long line.

What you miss outside you walk past on your way out, so if you really wanted to you could see what you're "missing" by using the FP line. Inside you walk where everyone does so you will see all the inside theming. The outside theming isn't impressive enough to make me wait an hour. LOL

As for Roger Rabbit, yes, the line there is really fun.....but you should go a bit slower as you go thru. I like to try to hit at opening and then just wander thru, takes about 3-5 min at the longest but it's so worth it.
