==Attraction History==
The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular was a collaboration between Walt Disney Company and George Lucas, creator of the Indiana Jones franchise. Lucas had worked with Disney as early as 1985, creating the [[Star Tours]] and [[Captain EO]] attractions which opened in 1986. The attraction officially premiered on August 25, 1989, less that two months after the opening of [[Disney-MGM Studios]]. The attraction has remained essentially the same since it opened, but was closed for six months in 2000. This hiatus allowed Disney to refurbish the sets, and the addition of Disney's Fastpass to the attraction. The attraction reopened on June 10, 2000.

==Attraction Plot==
The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular gives guests a behind-the-scenes look at some of the stunts performed in the film '''Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark'''.
===Start of the Show===
The show begins with the casting director, who in a real shoot would cast the actors for the film, inviting three volunteers, who must be at least 18 years old, to come on stage. The casting director asks them to do their first scene, as the stand on a trap door and scream as if the door had just opened. After inviting the first three volunteers to go to wardrobe, she invited three more. The three introduce themselves and say where they're from, and asks them to give three different laughs. The first gives a hearty laugh, the second – a woman – gives a “sweet little giggle,” and the third gives an “evil, menacing, sinister laugh.” The crowd applauds for them, and they go to wardrobe. The director asks for three more volunteers, and one of the extras chosen is really an actor, at one time played by Chris Lanam. Because we know he has been the actor, we will use his name. Each of these three gets a pose: Chris struggles to stand on one leg, another extra stands like a tough guy and the third stands like a boulder is about to fall on them. The director asks the crowd if the extras should have to stand like that for awhile, like real extras sometimes do, but luckily she sends them to wardrobe anyway. That's all the extras to be called up, but luckily the rest of the audience is included in the fun. Before the first scene with Indiana Jones, the middle-left of the audience practices their ahhs and the middle-right practices their oohs. Then it's time for the first scene!
