Harrison Ford to star in new Indiana Jones attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom
At the D23 fan event, Harrison Ford announced a new Indiana Jones project titled ‘Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent’. Rather than a film or streaming series, the project will be a major new attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom within the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
Ford revealed that he will serve as the actual physical and digital model for the attraction’s Audio-Animatronics figure, marking the first time his likeness will be used for a Disney theme park attraction. The figure is expected to include his voice and even his character’s signature fear of snakes.
Set in a new ‘Tropical Americas’ land, the ride will feature an original storyline involving ancient Maya culture. Guests will explore a temple ruin above a cenote and encounter a serpentine creature known as the Tsukán. The experience will include various perils such as giant scorpions, bats, and fire as riders are transported into a mythical underworld.
