    "articleBody": "Disneyland Paris will shut Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, the first Disney roller coaster ever to turn riders upside down, on January 4, 2027, for the biggest rebuild in the ride’s 33-year history. The park confirmed the closure in a notice published on Monday, October 26. The Adventureland coaster will be out of action “for several months” while Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, its design and delivery unit and its maintenance crews take the temple apart stone by stone. No reopening date has been set. For the millions of visitors who fly in from the United States, Britain and Canada each year, the message is simple: ride it before the New Year, or wait until well into 2027. What is actually being done This is not a repaint. According to the park, parts of the stone temple that forms the ride’s centerpiece will be completely rebuilt. The rails and footbridges that hold up the track get a full maintenance program, with guardrails and wooden and metal cladding replaced. The ride’s decorative pieces will be removed and trucked to the resort’s Central Workshops for restoration. In the queue, the wooden walkways are being rebuilt from scratch, and the staircase decorations, the campsite scenery and the ride’s well-known 4×4 truck will all be restored. The surrounding area gets new lighting too, including fresh spotlights and modernized effects around the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost shop. Why this coaster matters Temple of Peril opened on July 30, 1993, a little over a year after the park itself, during the resort’s early money troubles. Plans for a sprawling Indiana Jones land with an indoor mine-cart chase were cut back to a single outdoor looping coaster built by the Swiss manufacturer Intamin. Even so, it made history: it was the first roller coaster at any Disney park with an inversion, and it still carries the tallest height requirement in the Disney world at 140 centimeters, or about 4 feet 7 inches. The train runs about 600 meters of track at up to 58 kilometers per hour, roughly 36 mph, in a ride that lasts a minute and a quarter. Its layout later inspired Raging Spirits at Tokyo DisneySea. The ride has been through major surgery before. From 2000 to 2004 the trains ran backward. In 2014 it closed from January 7 to May 28 so the structure could be rebuilt in real stone. The new project is described by the park as the most extensive since opening day, which suggests it will run longer than that five-month job. Nothing replaces it Unlike recent closures in Florida and California, this is not a farewell. Disneyland Paris says the aim is to preserve the adventure and its atmosphere, and the ride returns in its current form once the work is done. The park’s published closures list shows the attraction going dark on January 4 with the reopening marked as unknown. Planning a trip around it The timing stings for anyone visiting in early 2027, because Temple of Peril is not the only big-ticket ride off the menu. Crush’s Coaster in the neighboring Disney Adventure World park closed on September 7, 2026, for a roughly ten-month overhaul and is not expected back before summer 2027. That leaves the resort without two of its thrill coasters at the same time for several months. A few other short closures land in the same window: Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing is listed as closed from January 4 to January 23, 2027, and Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain from January 25 to 27. Big Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor and Pirates of the Caribbean are not on the list for that period. If the coaster is a must for your group, the last guaranteed day to ride is Sunday, January 3, 2027.
