Indiana Jones - down again?

[gypsy_at_heart]

I haven’t been to Disneyland in many years (I’ve been going to Disney world), so I have to ask - is it common for the Indy ride to keep shutting down?

When I went to DL more regularly, years ago, I never noticed any sort of problem, but I’ve made three fast passes for it today and it’s gone down each time.

Yeah, unfortunately it goes down a lot - tends to cluster like that.

I hope the multi experience passes have let you do lots of other fun stuff!

For some reason, yes, it goes down a lot. We were there last week and twice it went down when we had FP.

Yeah when I come midday and taking it easy. I always book an Indy fastpass because it’s down every few hours so I can use the multi pass somewhere else.

It goes down a lot due to the ride system. If the cars get to close to one another the system shuts down. It usually comes back online within a few hours.

Very true.

That seems like something that should be back up in like half an hour, even if they need to walk the track, cycle the cars a few times, and reopen the queue...

I’ve always wondered why it goes down for hours at a time, and why Disney hasn’t been able to improve on that. If it’s anything that requires an engineer out there that’s got to be resource heavy. If it’s something that can be solved just by the CMs on location, I can’t figure out why it takes so long...

Just keep trying. You’ll get on eventually.

I listened to a podcast about the ride a few years ago and it is an incredibly complicated system. Every single car is constantly varying speed. You never get the same ride twice and with slow loading and off loading of cars is where the problems come in. The reboot process is also very complicated and time consuming.
