Take a Disneyland Ride With This Left 4 Dead Map

A new fan-made map for Left 4 Dead 2 combines Indiana Jones, Disneyland, and zombies. Spoiler alert: It's pretty epic.

​
By and large, fan mods and custom maps are a mixed bag when it comes to quality. Every now and then, though, something comes along that just amazes. Submitted for your approval, I give you "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Zombies," a map that faithfully recreates Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye from Disneyland. The "free ride" bonus mode is a zombie-free trip through the map, as seen in this video.

This is the second time an awesome Disney-themed map has popped up for Left 4 Dead 2. The first time something like this was created, it was with a map <a href=http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=5185>based on Pirates of the Caribbean.

I worked at Disneyland for a couple of years, and went on the Indiana Jones attraction more times than I should probably admit. While the line queue isn't entirely the same as the real thing (though a number of details are right), the map with the actual ride is surprisingly accurate, right down to the giant snake that lunges for the car about halfway through.

If someone wants to continue the tradition of adapting Disney rides for Left 4 Dead 2, I'm sure fans would love to play through an undead-filled version of The Haunted Mansion (without Eddie Murphy).

I LOVE maps like this. They were hugely prevalent in Team Fortress Classic. Sometimes it is just fun to goof off instead of play the game :)

Also, what did you do at Disneyland, might I ask?

I'd love to see this sort of thing based on Universal Orlando. Went there when I was on holiday in Florida last year, loved it much more than Disney, and there were some really great places to create something like this from (the Jurassic Park area in Islands of Adventure, and the Mummy rollercoaster and queue in Universal Studios, are the two that stand out for me...).

YES! I was just about to post this! The spider-man ride would also be awesome.

Going into that last sentence, I expected you to say an undead version of Small World.

I'm pretty sure I played another Disney Land map a while back.

Can't remember what it was called though. :/

I remember when I saw the Fire Axe near one of the train stations and noticing all the defibrillators all over the park made me hope a L4D2 map would be made. I gotta find more of these videos cuz this map is looking really great.

Wel... sorta. I looked it up after you mentioned it to me and it has the same basic layout and elements, but it doesn't feature the audio like the Indiana Jones map and the layout isn't quite the same. Also, it looks pretty shoddy compared to the other two maps I mentioned.
