The three-piston motion base is capable of much more movement than they currently use it for. After opening, they had to reduce the amount of movement produced by the three-piston motion base, because it was considered too violent for some (translation: Disney was worried about getting sued by people who injured themselves when the vehicle wildly bucked).

Part of what you said is true, the rest is not. I was one of the original 12 Design Engineers who designed, engineered, prototyped and developed this ride system between 1990 - 1993. Of course the motion base can be articulated into more extreme positions and at much higher velocities. While developing it we did a lot of tuning to smooth it out. That's a part of developing any new design. But we worked all that out WAY before (years before) this ride opened to the public. And all businesses that deal with the public are mindful of the possibility of people getting injured and design and engineer their products accordingly. To do anything other than that would be unethical / unprofessional.

24 hours of nostalgic curiosity. 😀 The Lava Bridge was very 🆒, because it reminded me of how hard it is to deal with how serious a lava flow really is as part of the suspense on a dark ride that's based on the Indiana Jones franchise. The reason why I like that scene so much is actually because, I studied about Geology in the 6th Grade for Science at my former middle 🏫. I like Star Tours at Disneyland as we know today. As a kid, I also liked Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Mad Tea Party, It's A Small World, etc. which are dark rides located at Disneyland which is a theme park located in Anaheim, CA.

But I think the most impressive thing is the motion of the ride itself.
