This is an original video back when youtube was good and people were creative. Creating things such as this. (founded in facebook) I switched out the audio to a better audio recording and I tried to sync the tunnel and boulder animation to the audio. Enjoy!


Boulder chamber scene explanation:

The chamber is long and tall to give off a look as if we entered a dirt tunnel chamber as we can see the Indiana Jones animatronic above us, hanging and grabbing it with his legs curled around the rope.

The tunnel moves forward making it look as if you are backing up, there are lights hidden in the walls to give off lightning to make the chamber look eerie and strange.

These lights also reveal the 16 foot stereo foam boulder that is spinning 24/7 on a double axis on a short track.

The tunnel moves forward making it seem as if the boulder is rolling towards us at a quick speed however, that is far from the truth.



The whole scene is not a diagram as many others claim it to be, it's all a physical scene with fake vines and low dim lightning. And detailed walls to make it look like a rounded tunnel.



The jeep is stalled on the top of a short hill and moves slightly to the front when the scene is going. So we can move closer to the drop point.


The mid section of the tunnel is curved a lot more closer to make the boulder seem larger than its actual size. However the boulder does move closer but the AMV jeeps dodge under the boulder and does not allow the boulder to move all the way over the drop point.

But there are issues to where the tunnel gets stuck or the boulder gets stuck.


The boulder getting stuck:


If the boulder gets stuck at the drop point where we go underneath, the boulder looks even bigger because it is closer and fully moved out over the drop point.


The tunnel getting stuck:


I mentioned earlier about the speed of the boulder moving on the track, it is slow but if the tunnel does not work.


The boulder seems as if it is barely moving, which it actually is slowly moving. The tunnel helps the boulder look as if it is moving towards us quickly but the tunnel actually helps the poor boulder look a lot more menacing than it actually is

So when you ride the Indiana Jones adventure, remember this. That this part of the ride is actually the only part that has a great deal of timing errors and works half the time, and other times it won't due to the jeeps entering too early, and the jeeps are too close to the one ahead of it making us enter the chamber while it is resetting for the next jeep.
