Wednesday night saw the U.S. premiere of the long-awaited Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The special event saw, of course, the stars of the new movie, like Harrison Ford, making appearances. Other members of the Indiana Jones family, like Short Round himself Ke Huy Quan, also appeared. But while some of those who have been part of Indiana Jones history were not as recognizable, even members of the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular from Disney’s Hollywood Studios were there.
The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular opened in August 1989, less than four months after the park, then called Disney/MGM Studios, opened to the public. The show has been in almost continuous operation since that day, though it saw a prolonged closure following the pandemic. For many, the stunt show is as much a part of Indiana Jones as any of the films, and the actor who first played Indy when the show opened and is still part of it today, Keven Brassard, was at the premiere alongside Michelle Waitman who played Marion early in her career as a stunt performer.
