Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril will close on January 4, 2027, for a major renovation
Temple, tracks, scenery, queue line and lighting: Disneyland Paris details the most significant renovation of the attraction since its opening.
Indiana Jones' adventures at Disneyland Paris will soon be put on hold. In a communication published on October 26, 2026, the destination confirms that the attraction Indiana Jones™ and the Temple of Peril, located in Adventureland in Disneyland Park, will close for several months starting January 4, 2027. The official website refers to the most significant renovation of the attraction since its opening in 1993. View the official source.
Why is this attraction closing?
The announced work is not a simple cosmetic operation. Teams from Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, Design & Delivery, and Maintenance will work on technical parts, structures, and staging. The goal presented by Disneyland Paris is to preserve the quality of the experience throughout the year by restoring the temple and its surroundings.
Since 1993, the ride transports visitors through a setting of ruins and mysterious remains. This setting is as much a part of the attraction's identity as the roller coaster circuit itself: the renovation program therefore affects the entire environment.
A restored temple, partially reconstructed rocks
First part of the work: the rocks forming the temple will undergo extensive work and some parts will be completely rebuilt. Disneyland Paris also announces work on the load-bearing structures of the ride, particularly around the tracks and walkways. The guardrails as well as the wood and metal coverings will be replaced as planned in the operation.
This is indeed an announced restoration of the existing structures; the October 26 communication promises neither a new roller coaster layout, nor a change in sensations, nor a new scene. These possible developments should not be presented as certain.
The scenery will go through the Central Workshops
The scenery elements will be dismantled and then transported to the Disneyland Paris Central Workshops. They can be restored there before returning to their place within the temple. This is a less visible, but fascinating, aspect of attraction maintenance: preserving the appearance of ancient ruins paradoxically requires extremely precise interventions.
- Restoration of the temple and reconstruction of some rocks.
- In-depth maintenance of the ride supports, especially near the tracks and walkways.
- Replacement of guardrails and wood and metal coverings.
- Restoration of scenery elements in the Central Workshops.
- Reconstruction of the wooden bridges of the queue line and renovation of the camp.
- Modernization of some of the attraction's and surroundings' scenic lighting.
A queue line and shopping area also affected
The renovation goes beyond the ride. The wooden bridges of the queue line will be completely rebuilt. The staircase ornaments, the camp scenery, and the iconic all-terrain vehicle will also be restored.
On the lighting side, teams must replace the projectors and modernize the lighting effects not only on the attraction, but also near the Indiana Jones™ Adventure Outpost shop and in the surrounding area. This does not mean that a new shop, a new product range, or a retail redesign has been announced: this information is not in the press release.
What reopening date for Indiana Jones in 2027?
For visitors planning a trip in early 2027, this point is essential: plan your day without counting on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril during the renovation. For later dates, check the updated hours and closures in the official Disneyland Paris app before traveling.
Disneyland Paris continues its major attraction projects
This announcement is part of a succession of park maintenance and transformation projects.

These are separate reports: their calendars do not predict that of Indiana Jones.
