Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, the Adventureland coaster that has thrilled guests at Disneyland Park (Paris) since 1993, will close for a major overhaul early next year. The ride’s last day of operation is January 3, 2027, and Disneyland Paris Resort hasn’t announced when it will reopen.
A Closure Set for January
Disneyland Paris Resort revealed the renovation plans on October 26. The attraction will close on January 4, 2027, for what the resort describes as the most extensive refurbishment since the ride opened.
Teams from Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, Design & Delivery, and Maintenance will “pool their expertise to carry out a thorough renovation of this legendary Adventureland attraction and ensure the quality of this year-round experience.”
Stonework and Structure
Much of the work centers on the ancient ruins and stone scenery that have welcomed riders for more than three decades. Cast members will focus on the stones that form the temple, and some sections will be rebuilt entirely to preserve the setting’s look and history.
The ride’s physical structure is also getting attention. Disneyland Paris Resort plans thorough maintenance on the track’s support structures, especially the rails and footbridges. That includes replacing guardrails, as well as wooden and metal cladding.
Decorative elements around the coaster will be carefully removed and transported to the Central Workshops, where they will be restored to “their original splendour.”
A Reworked Queue and New Lighting
Guests waiting in line for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril will notice changes, too. Disney cast members will rebuild the wooden walkways in the queue from scratch and restore the staircase decorations, the campsite scenery, and the famous 4×4 vehicle.
Lighting will be modernized across the area. The attraction’s scenic lighting is being upgraded, and the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost shop and its surroundings will receive new spotlights and updated lighting effects.
What the Resort Hopes To Achieve
Disneyland Paris Resort says the common goal is to “preserve this emblematic adventure and improve comfort” for both cast members and guests. With no reopening date confirmed, anyone planning a trip to Disneyland Park (Paris) after the first days of January should assume the ride will be unavailable.
