About this Ride

Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent is an all-new Indiana Jones adventure headlining the Tropical Americas land at Disney's Animal Kingdom, opening in 2027. Set in the 1950s, it takes guests beneath a newly discovered Maya temple ruin beside a cenote and into the Maya Underworld, which local legend says is guarded by a serpentine creature called the Tsukán. Disney revealed the name at D23 in August 2026 and said Harrison Ford is the model for the attraction's Indiana Jones Audio-Animatronics figure, the first time his likeness has been used on a Disney attraction. It takes the site of DINOSAUR, which closed permanently on February 1, 2026.
