Disney's Adventureland Secrets Revealed

[@acemurray]

That was awesome! I didn't ever know the Indiana Jones ride had it's own secret language. If it translates to "be sure to drink your Ovaltine" I'm gonna be very upset.

[@kidwajagstang]

Nah, most of them warn about Mara’s eyes, but there was one, which is now covered by a wooden sign, that had the slogan for AT&T at the time as they were the rides original sponsors. Knowing that it was an AT&T slogan, I laughed so hard when the ride changed sponsors for the first time, but the slogan was still visible, but it was obviously in the Maraglyphs, but someone eventually caught on, and now has the current sponsors sign covering the engraved AT&T 90’s slogan.

[@craftingnana9652]

Lol. A Christmas story

[@gokaury]

"That's it? A crummy commercial???"

[@krissmith3221]

Maynard is hilarious. I’ve had him as the host a few times. I once complemented him on how well he does with the show. Great guy! Love the videos.

[@SteveCarras]

Kris me,too!

[@curly208]

Awesome! A bit of extra trivia about the Indiana Jones ride: my uncle, Ruben Viramontes, is a former Imagineer and he designed the Eye of Mara you see on the ride, including the one carved into the wall right before boarding. He also designed Pooh’s honey machine that’s up in the candy shop. (I saw it when it was in process in his garage studio.) The more you know! 😁

[@logantobias2216]

Did you know in Indiana jones in the projector room, waaay up high and in the back near the projector itself, there is an old eeyore parking lot sign as a momento to the old parking lot that used to be there before Indiana jones! It’s hard to see but if you ask a cast member they can shine their flashlight to it for you! I thought it was a really cool thing to add in there as well

[@StorytimewithMayLynn]

My friends would always hunt for Maynard in the 90s because he was so cool. It means a lot to see him again

[@bbydlr]

I worked in Adventureland in the early 90's and was employed when the Indy ride first opened. In the entrance queue, there was a section where it was patterned off of the Temple of Doom spike room with Short Round. If you tugged on a bamboo support (it had a sign that said dont touch), a sound effect would play and spikes would drop from the ceiling. It was always breaking, so they removed it. You can still see the remnants to this day.

[@a1m4thah3d]

I remember pushing on that bamboo as a kid a week or two after the ride first opened and everyone, including myself, freaked the hell out lol. I was horrified I broke something and didn't touch anything after that.

[@krissmith3221]

I’ve been going back to these oldies lately while the park is closed!

[@provostparkpass]

Hope you are enjoying them. 💙💚

[@AEWFans]

I've been binge watching provost park pass! This is my favorate video!

[@olive6136]

The Hatbox Ghost I like this one too! But... I like Frontierland better (besides the other park)(California adventure)

[@SteveCarras]

Hatbox Me,too!

[@kayteebaker]

Maynard is one of my favorite CMs!!! You can occasionally see his "twin" at Great Moments with Lincoln.

[@8M0US]

I love how all the people turn and watch as they walk past.

[@theshadowknows2]

I miss hearing the voices on the Indiana Jones ride. I remember when it first opened that it was the coolest line ever.

[@courtney6126]

So is the “Tarzan Tree house” what was the “Swiss Family Robinson Tree house”? That’s what it was last time I got to go. Yes it’s been that long. We used to go each summer for at least a week alternating DL and WDW. Watching these videos brings back great memories. I would love to go again.

[@courtney6126]

OH OK🤗. They changed it to Tarzan in 99. My senior year of high school. It was awesome as Swiss Family Robinson Tree House!

[@provostparkpass]

Yes it was changed from the Swiss family Robinson treehouse to the Tarzan tree house. You need to come back. It’s just as good as you remember. Maybe even better. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@courtney6126]

Provost Park Pass Oh my gosh I can’t tell you how many wonderful memories these and other KZbin videos bring up for me. Me and my parents, younger brother, grandparents, and great grands always went together. We alternated DL and WDW from the time I was 2 to 12, then started doing week long cruises. Which was different back then than it is now. But I miss Disney so much and we always stayed at either the Disneyland Hotel or Polynesian Hotel. I can even specifically remember what they smell like as you walk in. Isn’t that weird!

[@joeleon5009]

Indiana Jones is my personal favorite attraction in all of Disneyland. I never knew about the hieroglyphics they have when you're walking in the line. I'll have to keep a look out for it. Great video as always Chris! I learn something new every time I watch your videos.

[@Haynescluster]

As if themed bathrooms weren't enough......MAYNARD!!!!!!! Sold!

[@joshuaburch382]

I always look for Mrs. Potts down by the Trashin' the Camp scene in Tarzan's Tree House but I've never seen the little man at Disneyland house. That's awesome!

[@Silver5kull]

have you noticed chip

[@smithda1996]

Enjoying your video's. I heard one other explanation for the way they designed as you walked through adventure land and why it is thinner. They wanted it to feel like the hustle and bustle of many of the markets in African countries. Also, I was surprised that you didn't bring up that part of the reason you have to walk under the train is because they needed more space to buil the Indiana Jones ride and so it was built in the old Eeyore parking lot and that if you look just right in the projector room there is an old Eeyore parking lot sign near the projector.

[@Anet2711]

Heard your podcast and now I'm starting to watch your videos from the very beginning!!! 🤠😎

[@provostparkpass]

Yay!!!!! This makes me so happy!!! 💙💚

[@barryalderson3081]

Although I don't partake, this video would be great for a drinking game. Take a drink every time Chris says "actually". If you are still standing at the end, you win!

[@DISNEYDADROX]

INFORMATIVE FROM THE BEGINNING VIDS. The secrets revealed vids are the best.

[@billjensen51]

Love adventure land but wish it had more rides as I feel there could be so many great ones.

[@zynjams]

I love Maynard , he was the best jungle cruise guide ever

[@kidwajagstang]

I was actually there the day before public opening (when they had a special event full of celebs and big wigs and skit for those VIP’s) and the day it opened to the public. It’s the only time I think they ever had Nazi soldiers at Disneyland, as they were the enemies “Indy” was fighting in the private skit performed for the special guests for the special event. I don’t think the Jungle Cruise has ever been so popular than that day as it was the only way for the regular Joe’s to catch a glimpse of the festivities going on. I have never found footage of the skit they did with Indy fighting the enemy soldiers, but I saw a few as we passed the Temple when we finally got on Jungle Cruise, which had a near 2 hour wait!

[@kidwajagstang]

Also, those cards were very handy for those standing in line before they introduced the Fastpass system to give people something to do as I remember standing in line for around 2 hours by the time we got to the spike trap room with the bamboo shoots holding the trap at bay... Also, I’m still upset the Indy store is gone :( it was small, but has been my favorite store in Disneyland since it opened. Wish I had purchased one of the wooden rifles they sold there back then, but at the time, it wasn’t as good of quality compared to the pirate guns, so those were a better bargain. The metal pistol should have been another, but they stopped selling those amazingly good looking toy guns very suddenly without fair warning to those passing them up thinking they were Disney souvenir staples and could get one next time...

[@SillyMeri22]

this was so interesting! =) we just got annual passes so i've been a little disney obsessed! just subscribed, can't wait to see more of your videos!

[@katielemos8590]

Maynard is the best! I love him the most on the Haunted Mansion.

[@SuperLurpee]

This taught me a lot that I didn’t know and I thought I knew a lot! This was great!

[@jameshoward2168]

Jungle cruise must be your favorite ride 😁

[@billjensen51]

Maynard deserves a raise.

[@KennyVee]

I used to be a vendor at Disneyland, selling popcorn and churros (along with any other things). And I never realized that we consciously never sold either in Adventureland (to be honest, we DID sell popcorn there, but from pre-packed boxes, not a cart, when he line Indy was four hours long, but we never sold churros there, and we never actually had a popcorn cart there; we sold it out of boxes that we filled from a popcorn cart elsewhere). I remember the weekend after the ride opened, it had to close for the next weekend because of structural issues (the vehicle guides were too weak and vehicles were in danger of breaking free of the track) and I was working an ice cream cart just outside the ride's entrance, and I had to answer questions about why this new ride which we had advertised the heck of was closed. That sucked (but I overall REALLY enjoyed my time as a cast member).

[@ensigndj]

Loving these videos, Chris!! Keep them coming!

[@sjoyp]

Just appreciate your fun and professional manner! You are taking DL love to a whole new level! Thanks! I can't wait for the next one to come out!

[@LifeOfPabs]

Maynard is an attraction in and of itself!!

[@ennoidyam]

While I was on Safari in Africa, the thing I enjoyed most was the Native churros

[@tatohead]

Terrific vid. I guess DL fans have to accept change... I really prefer the Swiss Family Robinson version of the treehouse. We ALWAYS make it to the Tiki Room. usually not a long line and a nice rest break! I can't believe how few people are are there when you filmed this!

[@co-hostamanda3240]

I really loved Swiss family tree house, too!

[@vickiechandler3112]

Cant wait to see the Tarzan version. Tho the steps in the WDW Swiss Family version t WDW about killed me, it was worth the view at the top.

[@SJ_Kravitz_602]

I miss The Swiss Family Robinson Tree House. It was nostalgic.

[@sunlightwhite3337]

Well there are a couple other non- authentic additions to the Raiders of the lost Ark truck.... metal grips on the bottom were added for the stunt double to hold in the scene where Indie was dragged under the truck. (you can a couple when you're looking at the truck in DL). And the truck was lifted higher than normal so "Indie" could pass under it safely.

[@reneecormalis624]

My husband LOVES the Tiki room and we took our grandson to DL and of course to the Tiki Room. I asked his 5 year old little self how he liked it and he said, not really, it's an old peoples ride! He's right. When we needed to sit and relax, that's where we would go!! Thanks again Chris for the great video.

[@BoJordan-pl5xk]

Dude every land is your personal favorite

[@provostparkpass]

Guilty. So very guilty. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣😂

[@MarkReviews]

Bravo! I shared this with my brother and sister-in-law who have season passes. I'm sure they didn't know HALF of this stuff!

[@amandam2725]

Provost Park Pass ;)

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Those were some great fact about Adventureland. Funny how you said "the more you know" because we did that reference at least 3 times in our most recent vlog on our channel. Lol :D

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Provost Park Pass Agreed. 😃

[@funtimeswithfefe242]

Maynard is my favorite cast member of all time!

[@jinaoraif5386]

Ive been watching the channel for 2 days straight😂

[@provostparkpass]

That’s the best news 😂

[@reverendandy3279]

Hello from August 2020, time to catch up on videos I've missed! Love to the Provost Family.

[@DaveHales]

Great video! I'm going to be there in 2 weeks and I'm excited to see some of the hidden things you showed like that little house.

[@cguizar1010]

I love this channel cause it gets me prepared for future Disneyland trips of mine

[@kurrves]

Great facts. Thank you!

[@Project20]

Love this! I need to go soon

[@josedelarosa909]

Watched & Liked 👍🏼👍🏼

[@stephenwimer7235]

They had live alligators (babies) in a display box with water right outside the entrance to the jungle boat back in the day.

[@provostparkpass]

Really?!? That is crazy. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@SteveCarras]

Amazing! They did try RE animals in 1955, before Walty (CORRECTLY) advised them to use the robots, and then ASudio-Animatronics TM once the nearby TIki Room opened in 1963.

[@loisannward]

I love it love it love it. I'm coming to Disneyland for the first time in December. I've been watching all your old and new Videos. Love the trivia thank you.

[@xking_rayozx9665]

Ive once rode the indiana jones ride 24 times

[@KidultTV]

I FREAKIN LOVE MAYNARD great job on this one Provost!!#parkpass

[@pattygoamandap.woodruff2515]

Love the little man house, and the jungle cruise🐊🐟🌴

[@masseylad1972]

That Maynard guy looks funny as hell , must track him down for a photo !

[@SteveCarras]

NOW FIVE YEARS, CHRIS! 🤩PS: thumbs up to Maynard!

[@rachelherrera932]

Great information ! Great job

[@samiam619]

The Tiki Room was first sponsored by United Airlines. To promote their service to Hawaii.

[@LeatherandLight]

Love your videos, but you REALLY love your “actualies”. Lol. Thanks for sharing the info. It’s actually interesting. Hope to see you around the park sometime.

[@LeatherandLight]

No worries. I'm really just messing with you a bit. I'll count them on the next ones and report back. lmao Great vids and you obviously put a lot of research time and effort in and it is appreciated. Love learning about the history of the park. THANK YOU!!!

[@LeatherandLight]

Thank you for having a good sense of humor about the comment.

[@BV____]

10:33 oh no don't tell BoB Chepeck that the room used to charge a fee, he'll bring it back

[@JStryker47]

I can't even hear the name, "Tarzan's Treehouse" without immediately recalling a radio commercial about its introduction; wherein a parrot would say, "Tarzan's Treehouse! Rawk!"

[@vickiechandler3112]

LOL...i so want to meet Maynard. Awesome tip about the wake up the birds.. That is something that i have never heard of at WDW. Do you happen to know anything about wheelchair assesiblity at Indy Jones? Distance is our main issue...that is a very long walk with no benches to rest on.

[@anilomd]

Interesting. Thanks.

[@provostparkpass]

You are welcome!!

[@jub-jubshorts6743]

I love this video. A lot of fun info. You say ""actually"or "actual" 42 times in this video. I had friends over to watch this video and we had to drink a shot each time you said "actually"... I'm so drunk now.

[@rivetheart]

I'm shook. No mention of the Eeyore parking sign in the Indy queue! And you can get lovey Jungle Cruise maps at the ride exit!

[@davidlane4038]

The exit of the Enchanted Tiki Room there are four shields. The second from the right is a picture of Big Bird with sunglasses on. He is on vacation.

[@susie154]

Thanks for all your informative videos! Enjoyable 👏

[@mh4336]

You forgot about the bamboo in the hall after the cave! Another secret in Indiana Jones!

[@turkeybutt723]

Cool

[@alwayslookingup4658]

Haha, love seeing Maynard!

[@mossycobnetone7831]

Adventure land is my favorite

[@samthedumb2284]

WHOA seriously didnt know about the tiny house how cool!!!!! i thought i knew everything about the parks but thats the one true new fact in awhile for me :O

[@maddog6620]

Awesome and amazing 😉

[@thekingofcrap]

Every time I enter Adventure land I have this feeling like this is going to be a fantastic day that’s why I always want to go here first. Maybe it’s the jungle cruise that goes on for niles and niles and niles....also Maynard is the best

[@nikki5980]

Fun fun fun! ☺️

[@maddog6620]

I Love your videos

[@skl7529]

Walt thought of everything. What a genius

[@sol202]

All times of people smiling at the camera: 1:28 5:47 7:15

[@julianechan3452]

Chris would be the best Skipper on the Jungle Cruise telling all his jokes!

[@neilbaird2789]

Adventure Land always has that meat on a stick smell because of the shop across the path from jungle cruise selling it.

[@tiffanyrobitzer183]

I literally love Maynard I go visit him so much he knows my name and stuff now and he asks me how I am doing, and I am a party princess and he also gave me advice on my Merida accent!

[@TrentonBlessWrestlemania489]

Gotta love Tiki Maynard.

[@samanthasheehan7925]

I rode splash mountain about 19 times in one day 😅

[@nadjadee2001]

I just realized your glasses have no lenses. It’s like Disney magic

[@charlierogers2734]

I miss the swiss family robinson treehouse!

[@amandam2725]

I’m trying to watch as much of your videos I can because there so awesome 😎

[@amandam2725]

Provost Park Pass I am :D Your welcome :3

[@SteveCarras]

Early in the video, Chris says that the Swiss Family treehouse was replaced in 1999 by the Tarzan one,based on the film, to which we can add, flopped..:( I AM,though,glad the original's SWISSTAPOLKA (those amazing Sherman Brothers!) is there! Of course Disneyworld and Disney Paris, at least, have a good sized "SFRobinson" reehouse!:)

[@KlaudiaJurewicz]

Great job!

[@dougpowell7348]

I learned a lot of new things from this clip! good job! when I retire, I am going to get a job in adventureland!!

[@SarahMcClure]

Nice video!

[@hailey4696]

9:00 among the instruments and the interactive stuff the kids can play with at the bottom of that treehouse, there is actually a teapot that looks just like Mrs. Potts from Beauty And The Beast. I’m pretty sure chip is right next to her too but I’m not sure.

[@lauraolacy2874]

6 dislikes? The Grinch family is alive and well

[@lisacitron5541]

Great video !!! Love the dessert one too. What are you doing next ?? We are going to d land the first week of March. Staying at dland hotel of course any suggestions ??? Excited to try the max pass thank you again

[@MrFerny-td6bl]

Super cool info😃

[@kevinpeterson6468]

I love Maynard!

[@SJ_Kravitz_602]

What do you do when you're sick and in bed? Binge watch Provost Park Pass videos!

Thank you for the trivia information! Enjoyed a lot

[@mercurialmoose5006]

I remember going to Disneyland shortly after the Indiana Jones ride opened. I was still in elementary school at the time and our teachers would assign us to do vacation note books to document what we did while we were gone. I ended up filling half of the note book with the mara glyphs and then having the translation below them since the line was so long. I had enough time to jot them down in the book and then I'd translate them when I got back to the hotel room that night

[@mercurialmoose5006]

Ha ha, I'm not even sure where that might be, maybe my parents still have it. If I ever find it I'll send you pictures of it!

[@mariahmakeup9895]

Disneyland was supposed to be built in smoke tree ranch out here in palm springs!! On our way for a full day of only mom and dad at Disneyland and California adventures 😁

[@PorchPotatoMike]

I don’t think Walt was worried about the smell of churros in Adventureland, he was dead long before they were introduced to the park.

[@MRTano512]

There is also a bathroom in the handicap entrance to Indy near the elevator (must ask a castmember to use it), 1995 skulls in the main scene for the opening year of the attraction, skeleton with a mickey ears hat on in the ride, Obi Wan is also the name of the opening scene's bar in Temple of Doom, there is a crate with the same ID# as the one that carried the Arc of the Covenant in Last Crusade, Jabba the Hut in the back of the "up" tree at the entrance to Swiss Family.... Tarzan's Tree House, a Tiki room drummer on top of the Jungle Cruise queue (upstairs queue),and the SEA Members in the Bengal BBQ! I really am enjoying this channel! Sub'd!

[@sarahtssymphonies8993]

I just found your channel .. its great!

[@TheHashcow]

You missed the teapot at the end of the treehouse that is the teapot from beauty and the beast which is also in the movie Tarzan in the camp scene
