Recent construction filings connected to the area surrounding the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios have drawn attention from industry observers. The documents reference installing signage near the existing attraction footprint.
The filing appears in records tied to Walt Disney Imagineering activity at the site. It does not outline a full attraction build but indicates planned work in and around the theater complex.
The location referenced in the permits sits near guest pathways and the exit area of the stunt show.
Possible Tie to Project Fedora
The listed contractor is Kentavo. The company frequently works on themed signage. Kentavo also has a history of working with WDI. This detail is important as WDI already has two Notice of Commencement tied to something known as Project Fedora.

Details about Project Fedora remain limited. According to WDWMAGIC and its sources, a kids play structure may be coming to the area next to the stunt show, bringing an all new Indiana Jones experience to the park.
History of Indiana Jones at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The Indiana Jones presence at Disney’s Hollywood Studios centers on the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, which opened in 1989. The show presents staged stunt sequences based on scenes from the Indiana Jones film franchise, particularly Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The attraction has remained part of the park’s entertainment lineup for decades. It represents one of the longest-running original-era productions at the park and continues to operate in its dedicated theater space.

The show was developed during the early expansion phase of Disney’s Hollywood Studios when the park focused heavily on productions that highlighted filmmaking techniques. It was designed as a live demonstration of stunt work used in Hollywood action films. The format emphasizes repeated daily performances with a large cast, practical effects, and controlled safety systems that allow for consistent operation throughout the year.
Over time, the attraction has received periodic updates to technical equipment and staging elements, but the overall structure and presentation have remained largely unchanged since its debut.
Broader Indiana Jones Activity at Disney Parks
Disney is also developing a separate Indiana Jones-themed attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. That project will replace the DINOSAUR ride as part of a larger land transformation. While unrelated to Hollywood Studios, it reflects continued use of the franchise across the resort.

The Animal Kingdom project is part of a broader effort to rework the DinoLand U.S.A. area into a new themed land called Tropical Americas. The Indiana Jones ride is planned alongside an Encanto attraction and carousel.
What the Available Information Suggests
The new permit allows for the installation of signs. With its location and use of the same contractor that is already working on different elements in Project Fedora, some fans are excited to see what may be added to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
At this stage, details are limited as to what is happening next to Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular.
