Overview
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril is Adventureland's most intense thrill ride — a single-loop roller coaster threading through dense jungle overgrowth and crumbling stone ruins at high speed. Guests board mine-cart-style vehicles and race through tight banked turns, a brief but forceful inversion loop, and exposed outdoor track surrounded by immersive archaeological wreckage. The ride is compact and packs its short runtime with nearly continuous intensity. The outdoor setting in Adventureland gives it a genuine expedition feel, and the approach through the ruins builds tension before you board.
ParksLog verdict
If you only have time for one thrill coaster in Adventureland, it has to be this one. The inversion and jungle setting make it essential for coaster fans; only Tokyo DisneySea has anything similar. Single rider is the smart play; the compact runtime makes solo laps quick. Check the height requirement before queuing with children.

History
The attraction opened in 1993, a year after the rest of the park, and was among the first roller coasters to feature an inversion loop at any Disney park worldwide. Its closest relative is Raging Spirits at Tokyo DisneySea (2005), a similar looping mine-cart coaster; Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland California is a completely different ride concept.
