The Nerdy Disney News You Should Care About This Week (3/7)
Indiana Jones is getting old, even more delicious food at Disneyland, and much more.
We’re not going to give you updates about barriers or some random restaurant updating their bathrooms — this is the news you should care about at the intersection of nerd and Disney.
Indiana Jones Adventure turns 30
If you’re like me, anytime you ride this attraction these days, you remark to everyone around you what it was like waiting in that queue back in the day.
I remember inching forward through every square foot of that line, watching that silly little film starring Jonathan Rhys-Davies thousands of times, before FINALLY getting to sit in the Jeep and being whisked away on your adventure. If it was less that two hours, it was the best damn day of your life.
Somehow, this attraction just turned 30 years old, and hell, it’s looking good for its age. Plus, the lines are shorter.
Somehow, you can stream the pre-Special Edition Star Wars on Roku right now
We’ve been waiting for this moment for decades… sort of.
If you have one of the remastered versions of the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS, you’ve been one of the few lucky souls that can watch a pre-Special Edition version of A New Hope. Either that, or you’ve been visiting some really sketchy foreign torrent sites.
Yes, somehow, the original theatrical release has been streaming on Roku — sort of. The quality isn’t what one would call good, but hell, it’s there.
The food for Season of the Force looks delicious
Damn it Disney! Stop having seasonal events with really good-looking food that makes me want to go (further) into debt! The menu for this year’s Season of the Force at Disneyland, taking place March 28 through May 11, features items like Dewback Chili Noodles, Fried Falumpaset Cheese Skewer, and Keshian Spiced Milk Tea.
