Disney Suspends Rolling-Boulder Stunt in ‘Indiana Jones’ Show After Cast Member Injury

The attraction is operating in a tweaked format pending a safety team decision on the prop’s return.

Overview

  • A 400-pound prop boulder veered off course on December 30 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a cast member who intervened was injured and is recovering.
  • Disney confirmed the rolling-boulder sequence is cut while its safety team reviews the incident and determines next steps.
  • Reporters observed the modified show with the boulder held stationary at its end position, with sound and fire cues remaining but no rolling effect.
  • A cast member leader said the effect will stay out until the safety team signs off, and no timeline has been provided for its return.
  • Other scenes and stunts continue to run as normal in the 30-minute performance, keeping the show open in a reduced form.
