You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.86.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!''''' is a live amusement show at [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]] at [[Walt Disney World]] in [[Orlando]], [[Florida]]. Based on the popular and successful ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' film franchise, it includes various [[stunt]]s and live reenacted scenes from the series's first film, ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''. It is executive produced by [[George Lucas]] and directed by [[Jerry Rees]], with stunt coordination by Glenn Randall.

==History==
[[File:DisneyHollywood-IndianaJones-1284.jpg|thumb|right|[[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] stunt double performing at the show]]

The show opened on August 25, 1989, in the Stunt Theater, as the first ''Indiana Jones'' attraction at a Disney park, and was put on a six-month hiatus in 2000 for refurbishing.<ref>((cite web |title=Press Release - Indiana Jones is Back, Better Than Ever |url=https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/indiana-jones-epic-stunt-spectacular/news/17jun2000-press-release---indiana-jones-is-back,-better-than-ever.htm |website=wdwmagic.com |access-date=26 April 2023))</ref>

In 2004, the Nazi [[swastikas]] on German trucks, aircraft, and actor uniforms were removed and replaced by a ''[[Balkenkreuz]]''.<ref>((cite book|title=The Mouse Machine: Disney and Technology, p. 201|author=Jay P. Telotte|date=October 2010|isbn=9780252092633|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6pA45zYWgYQC&q=indiana+jones+stunt+spectacular+swastika&pg=PA201|access-date=29 September 2013))</ref>

This is the first theme park attraction to use a computer-based [[show control]] system in conjunction with a custom made [[programmable logic controller]] system to trigger, control and sequence complex live events in real time, controlled by the actors in many cases. All other effects are triggered by a cast member at the booth. The original control system was based on the [[Amiga]] computer with software by Richmond Sound Design Ltd. The show is consistently upgrading its electronics and computer elements to keep it up to date. This began a trend in live stunt shows with both Walt Disney World and [[Universal Studios Florida|Universal Studios]] opening many more similar attractions over the next eight years.

''Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!'' incorporated audience participation as part of the show's entertainment, until 2020; this part was dropped when the show returned to the theme park after the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Volunteers were chosen from the crowd to perform as townspeople in the Cairo street scene, though they did not perform any stunts themselves and were always placed a safe distance away from the real stunt work and special effects. Among the actual audience volunteers was a stunt performer plant who surprised the audience and other volunteers by gradually revealing their skills during a supposed tutorial session between scenes.

==Show experience==
[[File:Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular.jpg|thumb|left|The finale scene from the show.]]

''Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!'' is based on many of the popular stunt scenes from ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''. The show uses various [[pyrotechnic|pyrotechnic devices]] which are incorporated into several of the stunts.

The action starts with Indy braving dangers in a recreation of the Peruvian temple scene from the beginning of the movie. Dangerous spikes, false floors and ancient booby traps test the archaeologist's skills before he attempts to make a getaway with the golden idol. The stunt show then moves on to the busy and audience-participant filled streets of [[Cairo]]. Indy and Marion watch street [[acrobatics|acrobats]] before events take a turn for the worse and a massive fight scene breaks out. The Cairo street scene concludes with Indy shooting at a Jeep loaded with explosives, producing a fiery conclusion. The final scene of the stunt show recreates the action-packed sequence in which Indy and Marion try to stop the [[Nazis]] from flying the Ark to [[Berlin]]. The reenactment is complete with a scaled-down version of a German [[Luftwaffe]] aircraft with ''[[Balkenkreuz]]'' (swastikas were used in the show up until the 2000s). Indy fights a large German mechanic while Marion operates the aircraft's machine gun, blowing away enemies in sight. Indy and Marion are able to make a narrow escape as the airfield is engulfed in flames.

==Incidents==
On August 17, 2009, 30-year-old stunt performer Anislav Varbanov died from a head injury after rehearsing a gymnastic tumble for the show.<ref>

==2020 labor dispute==
When Walt Disney World reopened in July 2020 following the [[COVID-19]] shutdown, all stage shows such as ''[[Finding Nemo – The Musical]]'', [[Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage|''Beauty and the Beast'': Live on Stage]], ''[[Festival of the Lion King]]'', and the ''Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!'' had remained closed due to a dispute between the [[Actors' Equity Association]] and Walt Disney World over allowing performers to wear face masks and providing regular testing.<ref>((cite news |last1=Carter |first1=Ashley |title=Disney World, Actors' Union Rift Keeps Shows in the Dark |url=https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/attractions/2020/07/29/actors-equity-association-disney-world-dispute |access-date=3 August 2020 |work=Spectrum News |publisher=Bay News 9 |date=29 July 2020 |language=en))</ref>
