Indiana Jones Adventure and Grizzly River Rapids to Reopen at Disneyland March 17, 2023

Indiana Jones Adventure and Grizzly River Rapids to Reopen at Disneyland March 17, 2023

Simple notes on the Disneyland website serve to alert fans that the Indiana Jones Adventure and Grizzly River Rapids will both reopen to Guests on March 17, 2023.


The Details

Both Indiana Jones Adventure inside Disneyland park and Grizzly River Rapids inside Disney California Adventure closed for rehab on January 9, 2023.

And now both are reopening on the same date, too.

Disney says no major changes have been made to either ride. Just some sprucing up and visual enhancements.


The Attractions

Indiana Jones Adventure originally came about due to the success of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.

It was so popular, Walt Disney Imagineering and George Lucas decided to collaborate once again to create a new Indiana Jones-themed attraction for Disneyland, and the ride opened to the public on March 4, 1995.

The reopening comes just in time for Spring Break, as well as the newest film in the series, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which will hit theaters on June 30, 2023.

Meanwhile Grizzly River Rapids is one of Disney California Adventure’s original rides, opening with the park on February 8, 2001.

The water ride features a circular 8-person raft that starts out calm before it hits the river’s rapids and drop. It’s a great place to cool down, if you don’t mind getting really wet.
