Anaheim police arrested two people they claim ran a prostitution ring out of a motel near Disneyland.

Police say an online ad led to arrests made at the Motel 6 on Disney Way, where arrests were made. Authorities contend that Irina Martinez of Anaheim and Andres Terrones of Santa Ana ran a sex-for-hire operation involving several women out of the hotel rooms.

They remained jailed Thursday on suspicion of pimping, conspiracy and child endangerment.

The undercover operation involved Anaheim police and the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force.

Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland is About to Re-Open Better than Ever!

Saturday, December 8, 2012 Tara 4 Comments

Disneyland park guests it is time to celebrate! Indiana Jones Adventure will officially resume operation on December 8^th! The ride has been closed for three months being refurbished.

With the holidays approaching and crowd levels expected to rise, no other attraction at Disneyland Resort is scheduled for closures in December.

The popular ride, Indiana Jones Adventure, opened in 1995 and initially had some problems with more than 300 visitors reporting injuries from the ride within a 3-year period. This current refurbishment had nothing to do with any of these past complaints, instead visitors should expect to see a new mural in the dart room, and the bridges got a new look with ragged planks.

Overall, the ride has undergone “show modifications to enhance lighting, paint, figure animation and other effects,” Kevin Rafferty, a Disneyland Resort Spokesman said.

This attraction is one of the most expensive to maintain at the Disneyland Resort. The ride seats are Jeeplike vehicles, that maneuver through archaeological scenes, in vehicles that weigh 12,800 lbs.
