It’s now been reported that the new Indy show that is being performed in the Aladdin’s Oasis venue is set to have a few subtle changes. Though people seem to be loving the new show (especially smaller children who often get to participate in the show itself), Disney has decided to tone it down a little bit. They are saying that it is planned to remove several of the direct hit punches that Indy gives during the show. The reason is probably different than what you are thinking though. Audiences are loving the combat and exciting stunts, what seems to bug people is when Indy gives a direct punch to the bad guy (who happens to be a woman in this small scale show). People don’t like the fact that a woman is getting punched by a man right there in front of their kids. “There are things that can happen in a movie that just shouldn’t happen in a theme park,” says Glenn Kelman, Director of the show. What are your thoughts? Head on over to the message boards to share your opinion!

In an email that we got this morning from the Disneyland Resort News Newsroom several things have been confirmed that we had previously reported as rumors. Finally a legit source! Here is what to expect announced by Disney itself:

“• Random Acts of Indy – In the crowded streets of exotic Adventureland, guests never know when Indiana Jones might make an appearance. It could be in their midst, perhaps it will be high overhead, or even right next to them as Indy dashes by. But look fast, because Indy’s never in one place for long, especially when he’s being pursued by sinister villains!

• Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Stone Tiger – In this intimate storytelling adventure presented multiple times each day at The Oasis, young Disneyland Park guests will uncover clues, decipher codes and embark on an archeological journey that culminates in an appearance by Indy himself!

• Indiana Jones Adventure Map – Disneyland Park guests will explore just like Indy does when they pick up a collectible Adventure Map filled with mysterious clues. Artifacts and symbols are hidden throughout Adventureland and once they are revealed guests will find a special code, which they can take home to claim exclusive Indiana Jones digital content courtesy of Lucasfilm Ltd. It’s all at www.disneyland.com/indy starting May 22.

• Indiana Jones Meets the Jungle Cruise – One of the all-time classic Disneyland attractions takes on a distinctly Indiana Jones flavor this summer as guests are invited to find unexpected Indy-themed surprises along some of the most mysterious rivers of the world.

• New Indy Photo Location – Guests can boast to their friends back home that they outran a giant rolling boulder just like Indy himself - and then they can prove it with photographic evidence.”

So starting tomorrow get ready for some awesome Indy action. If you happen to catch a glimpse be sure to report back and send in some pictures!

Roaming around the internet is a list of things that will be happening in Adventureland as part of the Summer of Hidden Mysteries. Check it out below. If anybody has an official Disney source for this please let us know! :)

“Indiana Jones™ and the Secret of the Stone Tiger”
Young Guests become archaeologists as they solve clues, complete tasks and decipher codes, Indy style which leads to a hidden treasure. A friendly and helpful female archaeologist, who may not be as innocent as she seems, will host the experience. However, if her intentions are found to be villainous, Indy will surely be on the scene to aid the youngsters.

Indiana Jones™ Adventure Map
Guests will be able to pick up a special map near the entrance to Aladdin’s Oasis, leading them to a series of clues that, when deciphered, reveal a secret message. This message can be used online to obtain an exclusive download of desktop wallpaper, screen saver or other collateral. The map also has a section that highlights activities in the queue of Indiana Jones™ Adventure and the Jungle Cruise.

Adventure Photo Location
Guests can step into an action-packed sequence inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark. They can also pick up their Indiana Jones™ Adventure Maps at this location.

Indiana Jones™ Adventure Queue
Using their Indiana Jones™ Adventure Maps as a guide, Guests will discover an exciting array of secrets hidden away in the queue of the attraction.

Jungle Cruise
The Jungle Cruise Skipper spiel has been enhanced to reflect the idea that Indy has been traveling through the jungle on his latest expedition – and we see will signs of his exploits. Moreover, Guests with a keen eye can look for hidden icons from the first three films, which are described in their Adventure Maps.

Indiana Jones™ in Adventureland!
Indiana Jones™ and a male enemy agent run into each other in the street and pursue one another through Adventureland – pushing through the crowd, popping up here, there and everywhere! Seems one of them has a map to the Temple of the Forbidden Eye that the other wants. This results in a series of fun-filled, dramatic staged “moments” that include fights on balconies, pursuits and daring escapes!

On the newest Disneyland Resort Park Maps there is an addition of an advertisement for Indiana Jones: Summer of Hidden Mysteries. Not a ton is known about the show other than it will be a very small scale show performed in the streets (and rooftops) of Adventureland. Looks like they are launching it the same day that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be released in theaters, May 22, 2008. We’ll keep you updated as information becomes available.
