Overview
- The interactive bamboo pole reappeared in the Temple of the Forbidden Eye queue on Monday, August 24, and was removed by Tuesday, August 25, leaving the prop absent as of August 26.
- When present, guests can bend the pole to trigger sound effects and a brief tilted‑ceiling illusion that is part of the ride’s environmental storytelling.
- Disney has not offered a public explanation for the brief return or the prompt removal and has issued no safety warnings about the effect.
- Observers reported holes in the floor and ceiling where the pole had been and noted that the posted “Do not touch pole” sign remained after the prop was taken out.
- Indiana Jones Adventure is scheduled to close for refurbishment beginning September 8, which presents an opportunity for technicians to repair or alter the queue effect but Disney has not confirmed any work on the pole.
