It’s not too often you see a guy carrying a bullwhip, but they are out there!
LEGOLAND California’s own Johnny Thunder, the hero of the LEGO Adventurers line, welcomes all IndyFans into Land of Adventure which just opened March 10 featuring four new attractions including the Park’s first-ever dark ride, Lost Kingdom Adventure. Based in 1920s Egypt, Lost Kingdom Adventure takes guests on an expedition through ancient temple ruins using laser blasters to aim at targets and uncover hidden treasure.
Also, be a part of history as camera crews from Red Dot Film Studios will be at the family theme park interviewing guests and capturing exciting stories for “IndyFans and the Quest for Fortune and Glory,” a documentary focusing on Indiana Jones fans. The documentary premieres April 27, 2008 at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

And you thought Cairo was crowded...
And Indy thought the Streets of Cairo were crowded, wait until he hits the streets of Adventureland!
That's right folks, Dr. Jones will soon be wandering the streets of Disneyland's famous Adventureland. But that's not all, according the to Disneyland Casting website, there appears to be a show in the works.
Indiana Jones® Summer of Hidden Mysteries
Seeking Male and Female Actors for Indiana Jones’ latest live-action adventure which immerses Guests in a series of experiences that include solving mysteries, battling evil villains and uncovering ancient artifacts. For all roles stage combat experience is a plus but not necessary.
Role Descriptions:
Indiana Jones: Male, 40’s; a rugged adventurer, great physical shape; can play drama, toss off comic lines and throw a punch – all with equal ability; must interact well with children
Archaeologist: Female, late 20’s–early 40’s; English accent; starts out kind and helpful but eventually reveals a villainous side; will interact with children and lead them through a series of activities
The Bad Guy: Male; imposing stature; physical agility and stamina a must; pursues Indiana Jones through the crowded streets of Adventureland, ending in a series of balcony and rooftop confrontations
Being a past Adventureland cast member, and anyone who's been there can tell you, the streets of Adventureland are a bit crowded! But if they take fight to the rooftops, who knows what could happen! All I know is that now we have another reason to spend all of our time in Adventureland!
No word yet on when this will begin, Auditions will take place on April 1st, and I will report more news as it comes to me! Stay tuned to INDYFANS for all the latest news!!

If you don't buy it, you're not an Indyfan!
Through the course of this documentary, we have seen some pretty cool stuff. But nothing like today! We were lucky enough to get to sit down with Sideshow Toys! And let me just say, if you're a sideshow collector, you haven't seen anything yet! The Indy line will be groundbreaking! All I can say is:
"The sideshow Indy Premium is the best thing I have EVER seen in my life! Seriously, they missed no detail and it really is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Seriously, I cannot stop talking about it. It's amazing, I can't wait until everyone can see it, and if you don't buy one, you are not an Indyfan!"

You can find anything in Vegas!
Las Vegas -- I'm surrounded by history! The gun that shot Lee Harvey Oswald, Elvis Presley's personal karate suit, Dick Tracy's yellow fedora and trenchcoat. It's a lot to take in, believe me. The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection is "purely and simply, the greatest pop culture collection ever!" Or at least that's what Guernsey's Auction House says, and I'd say I'd have to agree. To give you an idea of the size of this collection, the catalog alone is 4 pounds, and cost $40 dollars! The first item up for bid, an amazing, pristine, 1957 Original "Creature from the Black Lagoon" poster! What a wonderful way to start the auction! But that's not why I was there... So I sat, and waited...waited for items 237, 238, 239, and 240. The Holy Grail, The Grail Knight's Sword, a False Grail, and Indy Bullwhip! Just from standing in the gallery and watching bidders and curious onlookers throughout the day, you could help but notice that everyone's attention were on these items! These were obviously the pieces that every came to see. Members of the Guernsey's staff informed me that the Indy pieces were the most requested when it came to the press, wanting to grab images for the reports! Well hey, who could blame them?
About 3 hours into the auction, we had finally reached item 237. Prior to this piece, the room was pretty loose, with various people talking about the items that were passing. But when 237, The Holy Grail, came up, you could hear a pin drop! The item was estimated to go for 8000-10'000 dollars. Well folks, the bidding began! It quickly began to climb...Bidders that were present in the room, bidders on the phones, bidders online... Indy mania had begun at the Palms hotel! After about four minutes, the auction was coming to a close...What was originally supposed to sell for a maximum of ten thousand, had just found a new home, and a new owner, for the price of 37'000 dollars!
These were also the first items in the auction that the audience felt that were worthy of applause! The insanity continued for three more items, all of which gained applause. It was an amazing and very cool experience for an Indyfan to witness. And thanks to the people at Guernsey's, you will see ALL of the excitement in "Indyfans and the Quest for Fortune and Glory."

The Land of Adventure
Indyfans is proud to be able to assist LegoLand California with their opening of "The Land of Adventure" on March 10th, 2008.
Transporting you into 1920s Egypt, Land of Adventure will be comprised of four new attractions including our first-ever dark ride, Lost Kingdom Adventure. Based in ancient temple ruins, Lost Kingdom Adventure puts you inside an all-terrain roadster and takes you on a journey to recover stolen treasure by blasting targets with laser guns along the way. Your score is recorded and competition is fierce as skill and determination are the keys to a successful expedition. Brave riders encounter ten different scenes along the journey including a spider’s lair, professor’s lab, mummy relics and a skeleton band that requires riders to hit the correct targets to make the band play. A LEGO® pharaoh, standing more than 16-feet tall, guards the entrance to Lost Kingdom Adventure staring down at all those who dare enter.
We hope to see you all on March 10th. And of course, INDYFANS will be on hand with free limited edition Indyfans posters, and many more surprises! You won't want to miss out!!
