Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting an entirely new land called Pueblo Esperanza, based on the Tropical Americas. The new land will feature three new attractions, including Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, El Carrusel de los Animalitos, and Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent.
Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent
The new Indiana Jones ride will take Indy on a brand-new adventure in a newly discovered Maya temple, but of course, things are going to get a little treacherous and will, apparently, include a Jade Serpent. Well, Disney recently revealed a first look at that serpent.
Last month, we attended D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and attended the Experiences panel, where we learned a LOT about what’s coming to Disney Parks all over the world, including Disney World. That includes Pueblo Esperanza and the new Indiana Jones ride, specifically the ride’s Jade Serpent.
The stuff of nightmares
We almost missed it, but Disney revealed a first look at the Jade Serpent in the new Indiana Jones ride. The image shows the scale of the serpent, as Walt Disney Imagineering works on its details.
The serpent
Now, Disney has not revealed where this serpent might appear on the ride, but it’s entirely possible Indy is going to have to utter his famous line, “I HATE SNAKES! Why did it have to be snakes?” We also recently saw some models of the serpent that show its scale.
Snakes!
More than likely, the new ride will use the same ride system as the old DINOSAUR ride, similar to the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland. We can almost imagine seeing the snake in the same location where you once came face-to-face with the Carnotaurus on DINOSAUR. However, we won’t know for sure until the ride opens (and Disney hasn’t specified an opening date yet).
We’ll keep an eye out for more Pueblo Esperanza updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
