Is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril the WORST ride at Disneyland Paris? Is it too rough and uncomfortable, is the roller coaster itself disappointing, or does the Adventureland temple theming save it? Perhaps you completely disagree and Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril is actually one of your favourite rides at Disneyland Paris. Join us on ride from start to finish and tell us what you think in the comments.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, officially Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril, is a steel roller coaster located in Adventureland at Disneyland Park, Disneyland Paris. The attraction opened on 30 July 1993 and sends riders aboard runaway mine carts through the ruins of a lost archaeological temple.

Manufactured by Intamin and designed with Walt Disney Imagineering, the coaster reaches approximately 18 metres high, travels along 600 metres of track and reaches speeds of approximately 58 km/h. The compact layout includes tight turns, drops and a single vertical loop, with a height restriction of 1.40 metres. When it opened in 1993, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril became the first roller coaster at a Disney park to feature an inversion.

In 2000, the Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril trains were reversed and the attraction became Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril: Backwards. Parts of the track were modified to accommodate the different forces experienced while travelling backwards. The experiment lasted until 2004, when the trains returned to their forward-facing configuration.

A major refurbishment followed in 2014, with substantial sections of the attraction rebuilt using more durable materials while retaining the established appearance and layout.

Despite its detailed setting and historical significance, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril continues to divide Disneyland Paris guests. Its compact layout, abrupt transitions and ride restraints can produce a considerably rougher experience than many other Disney roller coasters. For some riders that makes it an intense and entertaining Adventureland coaster, while others rank it among their least favourite attractions at Disneyland Paris.

Adventureland is one of the five themed lands of Disneyland Park and combines several different adventure settings. Alongside Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, the area includes Pirates of the Caribbean, Adventure Isle, La Cabane des Robinson and extensive caves, bridges, waterways and themed pathways. Disneyland Park itself opened on 12 April 1992 and is also home to Fantasyland, Discoveryland, Frontierland and Main Street, U.S.A.

Disneyland Paris has changed considerably since Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril opened in 1993. The resort now consists of Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World, the extensively transformed second theme park formerly known as Walt Disney Studios Park.

World of Frozen opened at Disney Adventure World on 29 March 2026, introducing Arendelle, Frozen Ever After, A Celebration in Arendelle, shops, restaurants and character experiences alongside the new Adventure Bay and Adventure Way developments. Construction is also continuing on the future Pride Lands area, which will introduce Disney's first attraction based on The Lion King.

Indiana Jones attractions can also be found elsewhere across Disney Parks. Disneyland in California is home to Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, a dark ride experience using Enhanced Motion Vehicles. At Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! recreates action and stunt sequences inspired by the films.

Indiana Jones is also heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom as part of the new Tropical Americas development replacing DinoLand U.S.A. Disney officially revealed the attraction's name as Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. The new adventure will take guests alongside Indiana Jones into an ancient Maya temple with an original storyline created specifically for Animal Kingdom.

So where does Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril rank for you? Is it genuinely the worst ride at Disneyland Paris, an underrated roller coaster, simply too rough, or a ride you make sure you experience every time you visit?
