There is a temple that in India that holds a gift you seek. This temple is called the Temple of the Forbidden Eye and there is a reason. The 3 gifts offered manages to attracts tourist crowds to the temple. This is also the ride called Indiana Jones Adventure: Forbidden Eye. The ride is located in Adventure land, the neighbor of Jungle Cruise. The setting is within a Jungle in India around 1935. The ride is about a temple that is in ruins that is found my Dr. Jones himself after putting together map fragments which led to this temple. The temple deity Mara offers 3 gifts: Wealth, Youth, or Sight of the Future. The temple also holds a lot of artifacts which are priceless. Sallah (A friend of Dr. Jones) attempts to make funds by having a guide tour for tourist interesting in the temple.
The queue is the the front of the temple with equipment of the excavation team around the area. The queue also extends inside the temple in which you encounter traps. These traps have reference many famous traps seen in previous Indiana Jones movies such as the rising spike room which is seen in Indiana Jones II Temple of Doom. There’s many of traps and a small cave with bats. After a few traps, you are lead to a small theater room in which Sallah is seen to explain the safety procedures and many other things related to the temple INCLUDING instructions to NOT look in the eyes of Mara when you are in the chamber of destiny. After the queue, you are led to the loading area.
When you are loaded onto the ride, you go off to 3 doors which represent the 3 different gifts Mara offers. It was actually planned that this room rotated but this plan was scratched and changed it so the door would randomize the gift and effects. Once the door is opened, you are led to a chamber which has different decorations and lighting depending on what gift you get. This is when you see a giant face is which is Mara. You can here Mara asking you to look into his eyes. Of course Sallah has explained to you to not look. Apparently if you looked into Mara’s eyes, you’d die somehow. Of course if you look, there’s an effect making Mara’s face get all messed up. After this, you turn to the left where all the shaking happens and you can see an audio-animatronic of Dr. Jones.
He seems to be struggling to keep the Gates of Doom closed as he tells you to go the other way. You are led to a flight of stairs which you go down with a giant room with a lava pit and a rickety rope bridge with a 45-foot statue of Mara’s face. There’s some real fire effects down here as well. The statue shoots lasers from the eyes which was actually suppose to hit the ceiling of the giant room which caused small rocks to fall which were small pieces of dried ice. This idea was scratched due to the system not working. In which you turn to the left again towards a sort of little catacombs with dead bodies and skeletons everywhere with a few jump scares (Real kid friendly Disney). After this you are led to a room of bugs and the headlights of the car flickers. Small holes that blow air at you simulate the bugs jumping at you. Then you are led to the bridge in which you gotta cross it. You get a good look at that big statue as well. After crossing the bridge, you go around some debris and see giant snakes pictures and you encounter another animatronic of a giant snake that hisses and bites at you. At this moment Dr. Jones says one of his famous lines like “Snakes, why’d it have to be snakes.” and you go down an incline turning and such. Skulls and candles are seen across parts of the wall. Then you go into a room of darkness in which your car pauses (Probably the engines aren’t working very well). Then the car goes again and you drive through darkness until you are led to a hallway. In this hallway are tons of reanimated skeletons which seem to be a bit angry. They’re also armed with spears and swords. They probably don’t like visitors because they start attacking your car making your car move a bit. Blasts of air hit you to simulate the spears and weapons going by. After this little attack, you are led to another dark area where you see Dr. Jones again hanging on some rope. At this moment he shouts for you to let him in then you see the iconic boulder rolling towards you. The vehicle prepares for this and goes under the boulder with lights flashing at it. After this you hear the boulder crashing and do a U-turn to see Dr. Jones again somehow alive after that. He delivers some lines such as “Next time, you’re on your own!” or “Tourists! Why’d it have to be tourists.” Then you are led back into the loading area and you are led off the vehicle and back to the exit.
This ride has been my favorite as a child like who couldn’t resist riding this and experiencing one of Dr. Jones adventures just like short round! The effects in this ride are amazing and there’s a pretty decent story. The animatronics were amazing and really made me feel like I was gonna get bit by that snake. The only problem with this ride is the long wait and the ride tends to break down often.
Facts:
The vehicle is enhanced to make it move a lot more making it more chaotic and dangerous.
There’s also a Toyko version of this which is basically the same track and feeling but different story.
The ride reaches speeds of up to 14 MPHs but honestly I don’t think we need it to go any faster with all of those twists and turns.
Extras: If you’re ever going to ride this, maybe get a fast pass because the line is crazy. Maybe on a good day it’s short but it’s a pretty crazy line. Just remember don’t look into the Forbidden Eye!

As they run away you drop and continue the process. You go to another scene where Rocket is trying to attract the monster away from Groot with a flashlight but failing then the gantry lift drops. Then you are led to the biggest drop with the cameras and the window opens. As you pause for the drop, you can hear the voice of the assistant telling you the safety rules come up which made me die of laughter. Then you drop and it continues the process again and you’re led to the last scene. You can see Rocket explaining the whole thing wasn’t that bad while trying to make Groot spit out something which Groot thinks it’s candy then the door behind starts to get rammed. Rocket starts to run as he tells Groot to watch his language as the Monster once again pops out for a little scare and you get the last drop of the ride.
The story of the ride is the the Guardians of the Galaxy was lured in by the Collector (Taneleer Tivan) which is an immortal man who collects items and stuff around the galaxy. Starlord (The leader of the GOTG) accepts the Collector’s offer to have a tour of his collection. This led them to a trap in which the Collector traps them and puts them up on display so you can see them. The whole ride is a giant tower around 183 feet tall which is suppose to be the the Collector’s collection. 
The queue has you going around the tower and when you reach the entrance you see a golden statue of the collector holding a creature which I assume is a lizard. As you enter, you can see his collection of items and a giant screen showing the Collector himself explain that you are going to see the captive GOTG crew. He explains that they are held by an electrified cage which is powered by a giant generator just on top of them. Under the cage is a trap which would probably kill them if they tried to escape. You can see the GOTG crew argue over how Starlord led them into a trap and it helps explain the story. After going around into the queue, a cast member tells you to either go to the right or left pre-show. The left one will take you to the top elevators and right will take you to the bottom elevators. You are led to a door in which you wait until a female which is the Collector’s assistant tells you to raise your hand so it bio-scans your hand to give access to the Collector’s private office. Once you enter, the door closes and a video starts to play showing the collector telling you that you’re about to see the GOTG. After the collector talks a bit, you can hear Rocket Raccoon (A genetically intelligent Raccoon part of the GOTG) Fall down the vents right above the screen. He complains about hearing the Collector and how it his biggest motivation to escape and then he mutes the footage of the collector. You can see his tail move along the top of the wall behind everything. 
Then you see an animatronic of rocket work on trying to hijack the screen. He hurts trying to do so shocking himself and hitting his head. He sees you and explains that the Collector will put you on a Gantry lift (An elevator) in which Rocket will hijack it and bring the gantry life to the generator then blow it up. Doing so will free the GOTG and then another member that is free named Mantis will drive the Milano their escape ship and get out of there. Where you come in this plan is that Rocket doesn’t have clearance of the bio-scan. He needs to use you so he can get pass the bio-scan and go on with his plan. Then the door opens and you leave. As you leave, you can see rocket grab the Starlord’s walkman from a display case. When you walk out, you are led to what seems like the basement or maintenance area. If you took the left pre-show you go upstairs but if you took the right then you user the lower elevators. You walk through the basement area with machinery making noises and creepy props laid around it. Then you are led to 1 of 3 elevators and wait. You are stood in a row with a seating chart explaining which seat you sit on. After waiting a bit the Collector’s assistant will tell you to raise your hand once again to do another bio-scan. After the bio-scan is done a cast member sits you down in the gantry lift and explains the safety rules. After they finish might tell you to help rocket or something really just depends if they’re those fun people then they start the ride. The door closes and your gantry lift moves backwards into the ride position. As this is happening you can see the shadow of rocket sneak on top of the gantry lift and pull up a cable and unplug it. Alarms goes off and he plugs in the Starlord’s walkman and it plays a song. Rocket makes the gantry lift go up the generator and shuts it down. Now how the ride works is that there’s 6 different profile so whenever you ride it, you’re probably going to get a different version of the ride. In these 6 profiles there are different songs, situations, and drop patterns.
