Brief
Immersive and interactive queue experience for the Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye ride at Disneyland. The queue is 1,400 feet long, with capacity for 1,800 guests and had to be able to move 2,400 guests through the line each hour. 

A giant rock tunnel that reset every 16 seconds, giving the appearance that a jeep was going backwards, was a groundbreaking innovation.

Brock Larsen led concept designer for the 45-minute long queue / load and unload / change room / scene 1 of the dark ride. Team consisted of Tony Baxter (creative lead for Walt Disney Imagineering), Susan Bonds (show producer), and Skip Lenge (Rockwork specialist).
