When I sat down to write about this week’s restroom about Indiana Jones, I was struck with a bit of writer’s block. I thought, “What will I write about?” Then I figured, “I don’t know, I’ll think of something.”
Anyway, Disney owns Indiana Jones. And Star Wars. And my heart. But I digress. Disney has had a relationship with George Lucas for a long time, and it is reflected in the parks. There are Star Wars attractions at four out of five Disney resorts.
And right behind those Rebels of the Galaxy rides Indy, with attractions at three. The difference for Dr. Jones is that each of his attractions is a unique experience, and you should experience them all.
While you’re at it, experience their restrooms too. Disneyland Paris’ Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril, which is probably French for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, is most like that fine movie.
It features a temple, mine cars, and the occasional car flying off the track. Ok, not really, but it sure feels like it. There’s no Short Round anywhere to be found though. Though the ride is basically an off-the-shelf job, the theme is good and the experience enjoyable. The restroom, however…
This restroom is the last in a quick row of three, but the others would not be considered by someone going to see Indiana Jones. One is in Adventureland, and the other is inside a restaurant.
So that leaves this free-standing hut to service all of Adventureland. It is not a pretty sight, even on slow days. Adventureland always draws well.
At this restroom, there’s no time for love, Dr. Jones. I say to use Colonel Hathi’s, whether you eat there or not. Otherwise, I will say about you: “He no nuts. He’s crazy.”
