Regarding Indy, did all of you see it before FastPass came out? It's 'almost' a shame now with the FastPass since you walk through this area really fast now. I think many people just walk by the bamboo pole, for example, without moving it (or waiting around to see what it does).
I feel the same way about Indy - the queue is 1/2 the fun. And it's my favorite ride at the park.

One random note about the rolling ball room. Even though it feels like the car is backing up as the ball is coming at you, it's actually an optical illusion. The car sits stationary while the entire wall (including the ball & Indy hanging above) move towards you. The next time you are on the ride, look off to the side of the car next to the track and you can see it moving.
Thanks for hosting Mickey Bar

Ironically I just heard that a few months ago! I still couldn't tell the last two times I went in it (though I looked at the wall). What I should have done last time (since I was in the driver's seat) was try to look at the ground... bah, next time!
