History Ride / IndianaJonesAdventure

* BassoProfundo: Mara has an exceptionally deep voice. Which is to be expected, as it's provided by Creator/JamesEarlJones.

** Mara is a deity that will send anyone into everlasting torment just for looking into its eyes. For the guests, this happens immediately after they are presented with their gifts, directly in front of them, with little to no warning given so that they can look away. Jerkass indeed.

* BassoProfundo: Mara has an exceptionally deep voice.

%%* BassoProfundo: Mara.

%%* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: The Gates of Doom, of course.

** Another crate is labeled "Deliver to Club Obi-Wan", a nod to the club that appears at the beginning of ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', which is itself, of course, a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi of ''Franchise/StarWars'' fame. Both the ''Indiana Jones'' and ''Star Wars'' franchises are made by Lucasflims, which is now owned by Disney.

* LongTitle: Either of the ride's titles, ''Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye'', or ''Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull''.

A mostly identical version of the ride, ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull'' can be found at Tokyo [=DisneySea=], which instead revolves an evil skull artifact (that has no relation to the skull from the [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull fourth movie]]). It replaces the Indian setting with a South American one and replaces the lava pits with a tornado effect.

* BassoProfundo: Mara.

* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: The Gates of Doom, of course.

* AnAesop: At the ride's exit, there's a sign that says "Real rewards await those who choose wisely". This is TheArtifact from when the ride was originally sponsored by AT&T, as during that time it started with "True rewards" as a reference to their advertising tagline.

* Myth/AztecMythology: In Temple of the Crystal Skull, the giant cobra from the original is replaced with a serpent coated in feathers, which is heavily implied to be Quetzalcoatl himself.

* UsefulNotes/AztecMythology: In Temple of the Crystal Skull, the giant cobra from the original is replaced with a serpent coated in feathers, which is heavily implied to be Quetzalcoatl himself.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Temple of the Crystal Skull in Japan is this compared to its American counterpart. The floor of one room in the queue line is covered in skeletons, indicating that ''human sacrifice'' was regularly practiced there. The soundtrack of the ride has less music than the original, making the whole thing feel [[NothingIsScarier emptier and more ominous]]. Most notably, however, is the titular antagonist. While Mara was at least willing to be generous towards those who did not offend them, the Crystal Skull is far more aggressive, trying to kill you ([[AndIMustScream or worse]]) from the start seemingly just for being there.
* DemBones: Riders are at one point met with a small army of walking skeletons that are armed with spears and poison darts.

** The Crystal Skull is somehow even '''worse''' in this regard, as unlike Mara, it doesn’t you offer anything, instead going for the kill from the get-go.

* {{Mummy}}: Just before heading towards the lava pit, riders encounter several decayed mummies that try to jump out of them from the walls.

** The Crystal Skull is somehow even '''worse''' in this regard, as unlike Mara, it doesn’t you offer anything, instead trying to kill you on the spot.

* DisproportionateRetribution: You looked into the eyes of the Crystal Skull/Mara? In that case, please stay in your transport while the god attempts to blow up a bridge, send undead warriors/dart-shooting skulls and a giant snake demon after you, plus a rolling boulder.

* DoorOfDoom: The Gates of Doom appear to lead to a nightmarish alternate dimension where everlasting torment is guaranteed. And Indy was shown trying to close it shut.

* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: If one looks into Mara's eyes, its temple more-or-less becomes a never-ending death trap of hazards.

* EyeBeams: In the lava room, a giant stone face of Mara's shoots green rays towards the riders.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: In a case of ButThouMust, there is no way to avoid getting sent towards the Gates of Doom by Mara.
* FluffyTheTerrible: The giant cobra in the ride was nicknamed "Fluffy" by Imagineers.

* JerkassGods: Mara is a deity that will send anyone into everlasting torment just for looking into its eyes. For the guests, this happens immediately after they are presented with their gifts, directly in front of them, with little to no warning given so that they can look away. Jerkass indeed.

* EvilLaugh: Mara does one just before sending the riders into the Tunnel of Torment.

* AmbiguousGender: Mara's gender is never made clear. It seems to have the appearance of a woman, but at the same time has the most masculine voice you could imagine.

* LarynxDissonance: doubly so; Mara appears as a female and is referred to as such, but is played by deep-voiced Creator/JamesEarlJones. And then, once guests became used to ''that'' voice, she was (briefly) played by Creator/NeilPatrickHarris. [[https://youtu.be/YlPDXuHLOnU?t=34s It's as bad as it sounds]].

* CypherLanguage: There are various messages carved into the walls of the queue, which can be translated into English. During the first few years, Disneyland even gave out decoder cards with the cypher key on them.
%%* DarkerAndEdgier

* CompressedAdaptation: it can be considered one for ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', although many of details have been stripped away or replaced.

** The snake statues look a fair bit like the ScaledUp version of Jafar from ''WesternAnimation/Aladdin''.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The skeleton army attempt to hurl spears and poison darts at the riders, but miss everytime.
