It is thankfully NOTHING like Dinosaur (Dinosaur used the same ride vehicle and track as Indy, so Indy is THE original!), and there's only one part where something jumps out at you ... but you see it the whole time so it's not really scary, per se. It's not what I would qualify as a scary ride, it's more of a thrill ride. The theming of the ride is amazing, both in queue and the actual attraction. Don't miss it, it's one of my favorites!

Feel free to ask as many questions as you want!!
Like Michael said, the track and vehicles are the same, but the theming is so different, and IMO definitely superior at Indy. Don't miss it!

Totally agree! I can't stand Dinosaur and I love the Indiana Jones Adventure. The queue is not to be missed!

Try checking on Youtube. You can usually find video of any of the Disneyland rides. That way you'll know what to expect!

I looked at Youtube..it seemed very scary to me, especially the part with the zombies or something jumping out at you and the darts. Well,IŽll just have to conquer my fear!
Having said that,I will never in my life do Dinosaur again so I hope it will be better than that thanks guys

If you want to be spoiled, read on, I will just mention SOME of the stuff that would be easier to handle if you had advanced warning:

Ok, first off, let me say that I pretty much HATE the Dinosaur ride. She who is not scared by anything, really, is scared by this ride. I find it unnerving to be in the dark for so long, with SUCH loud noises and the crazy looking Carnotaurus. I admit, when I do ride this ride (when I don't want to wuss out in front of my friends) I keep my eyes closed for most of it.
Now, I LOVE Indiana Jones adventure! It is so cool, and nothing like Dinosaur. You should DEFINITELY ride it!!! The worst part is the giant snake, but it's so comical looking, it's not that bad. It's bright neon green. You can see it coming a mile away, and your vehicle will actually stop right in front of it for a second, then go and "lurch away" as the snake strikes. If you are the "fraidy cat" sort, sitting on the FAR LEFT helps out with this part.
The part with the blowdarts is really fun. You will pause in front of a room where you'll see spears on the wall, and paintings of tribesmen looking people. You will go forward in the dark and hear "fhuut, fhuut, fhuut" and feel blasts of air from both sides. Have fun with it and try to duck and cover as you go through.
The other creepy part is the wall with the spiders and beetles projected on it, but it's just a projection, nothing will come at you. There is also an effect that looks like a screen of rats running down...it's projected on a curtain of vapor (dry ice?) and your vehicle goes through it. You don't feel anything, though...it's the same as the Davy Jones waterfall effect on POTC. Cool, but not scary.
Nothing on this ride really jumps out at you. I don't recall zombies, although there are several skeletons, but they are static (don't move at all). You just drive past them. This ride is loud, but not as loud as Dinosaur. Honestly, many of the Fantasyland Dark rides (Pinocchio, in particular) are LOUDER!
Go on this ride! Conquer your fears! You'll be glad you did. The queue is one of Disney's finest, and worth going through, even if you chicken out at the end.

I have never been on Dinosaur, so I can't compare the two, but I say definitely do Indy!! You'll be very glad that you did.
IMO, it's more jerky and bumpy than it is scary. I think you'll only be frightened by it if you have very specific fears (say, of snakes, for example). Thing don't really jump out at you and since you can see quite far in front of you during the ride, nothing should catch you by surprise and scare the pants off of you.
Enjoy yourself, whatever you decide!

When my DD was younger she rode Indy with her eyes closed, thinking it would be to scary to see skeletons, snakes, etc. When she finally decided she would ride with eyes wide open, she discovered that it was actually less scary that way. So give it a chance, with eyes wide open. Just don't look into the eyes of the idol!!!

Personally, I love DINOSAUR, but my 36 year old sister was absolutely terrified on the ride. I then rode Indy for the first time a couple of months ago and I thought that that ride would probably scare her as well - the first time.
I think both rides have an element of fear of the unknown when you first ride them. That is to say, there is such sensory overload with the ride vehicle, noises, sights, etc. that you are in a heightened awarness state and easily startled by anything and everything. But it is definitely not a "scary" ride.
I say give it a try and just remember that nothing can actually harm you in the ride, so just have fun with it.
