Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition

"Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition" was a scrapped attraction that was originally going to be built in the Adventureland area at Disneyland. The attraction was going to be themed after the Indiana Jones franchise and was supposed to open around the late 1980s, but the attraction remained scrapped.
==History==
Following the success of the Indiana Jones films and (both which were made before Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012), Disney approached George Lucas, who collaborated with the company to contribute to Captain EO and Star Tours, to build an attraction based on the Indiana Jones franchise. This attraction would have been located by the Jungle Cruise.
For the proposed attractions of the scrapped complex, there were only two confirmed attractions throughout the development of the complex. One of them which is the Ore Car Attraction, which would have been a roller coaster attraction based on the mine chase sequence from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which focused on mine carts within volcanic chasms. The second one was the Jeep Attraction, which would have been based on the famous scene of Indiana Jones escaping from the giant boulder as seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Following this, this would have resulted the classic Jungle Cruise attraction to be given an alternate route as well as being rethemed to the complex's building, where the route would have been travelled across lava-themed waters of the attraction's volcanic chasm for guests to look at the Jeep attraction's interior while the Disneyland Railroad would have travelled across a wooden bridge while travelling across Adventureland.
Despite the plans that were being made for Adventureland, this attraction went unbuilt, due to a development competition against Splash Mountain, a project themed around Song of the South that was in development around the time the Indiana Jones-themed attraction around the time, which resulted in a conflict for both attractions during development. Michael Eisner, the then CEO of Disney, decided to move forward with the Splash Mountain project, due to its lower cost of constructing the attraction, resulting in plans for the Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition complex to be cancelled.
