Would noise from nearby attractions make you avoid a kids' playground at a theme park?
Walt Disney World has revealed plans for Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular!, a new outdoor playground at Disney's Hollywood Studios inspired by the Indiana Jones stunt show. The project was known as Project Fedora during construction and is expected to open in the coming months.
Why it matters
The playground sits near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, whose simulated gunfire and explosions may create noise concerns for sensitive children. Its opening adds a family-oriented attraction to a park that serves Orlando visitors and local families.
The announcement is based on released concept art and officially confirmed construction near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! and Backlot Express. No box office, viewership, or budget figures were disclosed for the project.
The players
Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World is the Florida resort operator that announced the new playground at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! is a live stunt show at Disney's Hollywood Studios whose inspiration shaped the new playground.
The details
The playground includes a small slide, a play jeep, an airplane, a movie camera, and a marketplace facade. It follows the opening of Drawn to Wonderland, an indoor Alice in Wonderland-inspired playground at The Magic of Disney Animation.
Timeline
November 9, 2026: Plans for the Hollywood Studios playground are reported.
Coming months: Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular! is expected to open.
2027: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent opens.
Industry Dynamics
The new playground follows Disney's recent indoor family play offering, Drawn to Wonderland, and extends that approach to an outdoor setting. It reflects the park operator's effort to add younger-audience attractions alongside its established adventure shows.
Families visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios will gain a new play area for toddlers, including a slide, play jeep, and airplane. The playground will be accessible to park guests once it opens in the coming months.
The takeaway
Families planning a Hollywood Studios visit should note that the new toddler playground will sit beside a loud stunt show, so sensitive children may want to plan breaks accordingly.
What happens next
Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent opens in 2027, a date that marks the next scheduled milestone tied to the Indiana Jones attraction.
